bio

Kirsten Underwood is a 20-year-old southern
girl who is just as comfortable in her high heels
as her cowboy boots. She can drive a tractor,
tell you about peanuts, or dress up like a beauty
queen. She loves her southern heritage and
agriculture and all that it brings.

Music has always been a part of her life and
daily walk. She began singing for events when
she was 2 years old in church. Kirsten was
selected to perform for five years as a member
of nationally known 4H Performing Arts group,
"Clovers and Company." In 2006, she released
her debut CD, "The Beginning", and she has yet
to slow down. Kirsten realized a life-long dream
in 2008 when she put together her own band.
They play her original music and various
country/southern rock covers.

2009 was a big year for Kirsten. She won a
talent competition in Columbus, Georgia and
won the right to open for her favorite artist ,Gary
Allan, and Randy Houser. Her hit song "Back
Home in Georgia" has already begun a lift off not
only being played in Georgia, but Charleston,
SC. The song was debuted at the Georgia
Capital in February of 2009. She has since
opened up for Roy Clark, John Anderson, Gary
Allan, Brantley Gilbert, Randy Houser, Kevin
Skinner, and Shenandoah. She was also named
the 2009 Georgia Country and Gospel Music
Association Entertainer, Songwriter, and Video
of the Year.

Kirsten made her Nashville debut in February of
2010 at the Wildhorse Saloon. In March she was
named the North American Country Music
Association Songwriter, Most Promising
Entertainer, and Most Promising Video of the
Year. She performed at a kick-off party for the
2010 CMA Music Festival at the Listening Room
in Nashville which was hosted by Grammy
