Elle King To Officiate Love Ceremony for Three Couples During CMA Music Fest

Come Get Your Wife singer-songwriter returns as Host for CMA Fest
with Dierks Bentley & Lainey Wilson

It’s a busy CMA Music Fest Week for Elle King, who will be co-hosting the nightly concerts at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium, alongside her friends Dierks Bentley and Lainey Wilson. She’s also on tap to perform on several surprise moments. On Saturday afternoon, the multi-award winning Come Get Your Wife singer, who is ordained to officiate weddings, will preside over the love ceremony for three lucky couples at Acme Feed & Seed.
 
Fans can submit their stories here for the “Elle King CMA Fest Love Ceremony Contest.” Deadline for entries is midnight, Tuesday, June 6. Three lucky couples will be selected for the ceremony to take place on Saturday, June 10 where King will also perform “Love Go By” and “Lucky,” from her critically acclaimed album Come Get Your Wife, for the couples’ first dance. Also on display at Acme Feed & Seed will be the wedding dress she wore in the music video for her No. 1 smash single “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)” with Miranda Lambert.
 
King is well-versed in officiating weddings and vow renewals as she married a couple every night on stage during her 2016 The Ministry Tour. “Since my latest album title is Come Get Your Wife, I thought it would be fun to celebrate the album with some matrimony at CMA Fest. I love love and am honored to share an incredibly special moment with some of my fans.”
 
This will be King’s second year to co-host the stage at Nissan Stadium for the CMA Fest Special which will air July 19 on ABC. The three-hour primetime concert special will be filmed during CMA Fest’s milestone 50th Anniversary June 8 - 11. “Country music has totally changed my life,” said King. “CMA Fest was one of the biggest reasons I feel so in love with this genre and I’m happy I get to be a part of it and celebrating in this big way.” 
 
King recently released her version of Tyler Childers’ “Jersey Giant” to multiple radio formats. Last year when Childers’ record label asked him what artist he would want to record “Jersey Giant,” an old live song getting some fresh attention, he had only one name – Elle King. Co-produced by King, the song is already generating more than 500,000 streams per week with more than 20 million global streams since release. 
 
After CMA Music Fest week, King looks to get back on the road with a jam-packed summer tour schedule playing festivals, amphitheaters and arenas across the country performing with artists including Eric Church, Melissa Etheridge, Jelly Roll and Dierks Bentley. She joins Childers on his 2023 Send in the Hounds Tour at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on August 2 and 3.

Elle King's New Album COME GET YOUR WIFE Out Now

Fusing her rural Ohio roots with life lived on both coasts, Elle King firmly sets her stakes in Nashville with the release of her new album Come Get Your Wife, out today and available HERE. Relaxed, unrestrained, brazen and vulnerable, the album is all things King! With the release of the new music, Nashville Lifestyles proclaims, “Elle King Reigns Supreme” and begs the question, “Is Elle King Country’s New Queen,” in their January cover feature on her.
 
King co-wrote eight of the songs on the record that opens with a nod to her native Ohio. “It’s where I grew up, it’s where I learned about music,” said King. “It’s about rural living and my foundation and it’s where my Paw-Paw and my brother live. Ohio made me who I am”
 
Truth and humor permeate the album and are on full display in the already released and current Top 40 single “Worth A Shot,” feat. Dierks Bentley, “Out Yonder,” “Tulsa,” “Try Jesus,” “Jersey Giant” and the smash #1, award winning song “Drunk (And I Don’t Want To Come Home),” with Miranda Lambert.
 
New songs releasing from the record include the raw and powerful “Love Go By” (performance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on Jan. 26) and the gratitude-infused “Lucky,” that she wrote with a heart full of gratitude and reflection about her life, career and most importantly, her son Lucky (performance on "Good Morning America" on Jan. 27). “Lucky,” is also featured in a brand new music video available Today.
 
There’s no better place to celebrate new music than with the fans, and that party kicks-off Feb. 14 in New Orleans with her headline A-FREAKIN-MEN Tour Presented by Slow & Low. “I have put all of my energy and love into this album, and I cannot wait to share it live for everyone.” Ten markets are sold out already and tickets for other dates are selling fast. 
 
King’s live show is a “… showcase for her range from soulful crooning to guttural singing and head-banging to the rock and roll sound of the drumming and electric guitar solo,” said the San Francisco Riff. American Songwriter highlighted her performance as one of the “8 Moments We loved at This Year’s Pilgrimage Festival.” They noted, “She showcased her rock roots and her country twang on Sunday afternoon with a set that washed an air of levity over the crowd.”
 
King and her band bring a full set of new music and hits to the stage which include her smashes “Ex’s & Oh’s,” “Drunk (And I Don’t Want To Go Home),” “Different For Girls,” “America’s Sweetheart,” and more. King is offering tickets as well as VIP meet & greet packages at every show which are available to purchase at ElleKing.com.

Elle King Previews COME GET YOUR WIFE with Back-to-Back TV Appearances

ELLE KING KICKS-STARTS FRIDAY’S RELEASE OF COME GET YOUR WIFE PREMIERING NEW SONGS ON THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT & GOOD MORNING AMERICA

With her new album set to release this Friday, Elle King brings “her roots-rock swagger to her first full-fledged country album Come Get Your Wife,” said Billboard. She will kick-start that release with a string of television appearances and performances.
 
On Wednesday night, King will join Adriana De Moura on Andy’s Cohen’s late-night, interactive talk show, Watch What Happens Live. This will be her first appearance on the, always entertaining, pop-culture staple.
 
On Thursday, she’ll visit The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and premiere “Love Go By,” a new song from the record. She wrote the powerful love song several years ago and it is the closing track on the album that features eight songs written by King. “We were looking for a couple more songs for the record and we were listening back through my catalog when my manager said ‘wait, what’s this!?’ So, we recorded it, and it ended up being the final cut on the album.” 
 
Friday morning, she will christen the release of Come Get Your Wife on Good Morning America and premiere “Lucky,” a song that she wrote about her son and outlook on life. “My son Lucky is this beautiful ball of light and energy,” said King. “Parenthood will bring you to your knees, but it has made me grow in gratitude and empathy.”
 
Come Get Your Wife, features 13* glorious tracks that run a gauntlet of styles and attitudes that leave King’s roots showing. She co-produced the project with award-winning songwriter Ross Copperman to create a project that is fresh, unbridled and a loose autobiographical look at the tattooed blonde’s journey through fame, love and the places she’s called home.
 
Known for her high-energy and colorful shows, King will hit the road next month to headline her A-FREAKIN-MEN Tour Presented by Slow & Low. The nearly 30 city tour will kick-off on Valentine’s Day in New Orleans, LA. “I am so excited to be going back out on tour, not just because I love to perform, but because I’m finally putting out a new record,” says King. “I have put all of my energy and love into this album, and I cannot wait to share it live for everyone.”

Elle King Releases Bodacious New Song "Tulsa" Off Upcoming Album

Elle King kicked off 2023 co-hosting and performing at New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash, which was broadcast on CBS and is rounding out the week by releasing “Tulsa,” a new song from her forthcoming album, Come Get Your Wife. The new album will be released Friday, Jan 27.

While Tulsa has been named checked in many country songs, this is the first time it’s recognized for its spelling in reverse. “Tulsa is a song about doing someone wrong,” said King of the tune that includes the lyrics But if you spell it back to front you gonna know what I mean, he went back to Tulsa. “This is not about tearing women down but it’s about putting the blame on the wrongdoer. If a man is cheating on you, it’s not her fault because there are a million other girls he would do it with. And he’ll just cheat on her too. It’s a song about uniting and not taking shit from this real P.O.S.”
 
Written by King along with Ella Langley, Bobby Hamrick and Matt McKinney, “Tulsa” features background vocals by Ashley McBryde and John Osborne on guitar. “We wrote the song in less than an hour and it’s so raucous and fun,” King continued. “We’ve been playing it on the road and it’s the third song in our show now. It’s fun for us and the crowd!”

With the release of Come Get Your Wife only three weeks away, “Tulsa” is another glimpse into the fresh, unbridled and honest album that almost feels like a look into King’s journal. The brassy tune joins the current single “Worth A Shot” with Dierks Bentley – currently at #43 and rising, the previously released smash hit “Drunk (And I Don’t Want To Go Home)” with Miranda Lambert, the banjo-basted take-your-small town gossip “Out Yonder,” and the hallelujah sass of “Try Jesus,” all part of the Come Get Your Wife line-up. King wrote eight of the 12 songs and co-produced the album with Ross Copperman. 
 
Fans can hear the new music live starting February 14 with her 2023 headlining Elle King A-FREAKIN-MEN Tour Presented by Slow & Low. The nearly 30 city tour will kick-off Valentine’s Day in New Orleans, LA.

Elle King Releases Tyler Childers’ “Jersey Giant”

ELLE KING RELEASES TYLER CHILDERS’ “JERSEY GIANT”

King to Open for Childers at Radio City Music Hall August 2 & 3, 2023

Award winning, singer-songwriter Elle King is dropping “Jersey Giant,” a never-before-released song by acclaimed artist Tyler Childers. “Jersey Giant,” is available here: EK.lnk.to/JerseyGiant.

“Tyler Childers is not too far from where my family lives and he’s a legend,” said King. “The life of a song is something so beautiful to me, and country music has taught me to see that the opportunity to sing a song written by someone else, is nothing short of a gift, a blessing. When you hear a song and say ‘I wish I wrote that’ you know it’s a good’n. I was humbled and so excited that Tyler gave his song to me. I tried to blend the two worlds of honoring traditional bluegrass and what country music is to me. Thank you, Tyler, for your music, and thank you for entrusting me with this gift. I’m so excited for everyone to hear it.”

“I wrote ‘Jersey Giant’ over ten years ago and only performed it for a short period of time,” said Childers. “I was pleased with how it turned out structurally (it even has a bridge, which is rare for me), but I was over performing it pretty fast. I reckon that’s just how songs go sometimes. They can be like that coat you saw and had to have, only to get it home and think, ‘Why gah, I ain’t never gonna wear this thing.’ Or, one that you got from an ex which you would rather just toss out. But that’s not saying anything against the coat, it just doesn’t fit me anymore and hasn’t for some time. I’m super excited that Ms. King has dusted this old song off and given it a new life. I’m extremely grateful for her seeing the potential in this tune and wish her the best out there on the road. Break a leg Elle! And stay warm.”

King, who provides lead and background vocals and is featured on acoustic guitar, co-produced the track with award-winning, singer-writer and multi-instrumentalist and reigning ACM Acoustic Guitar Player of the Year, Charlie Worsham. Worsham lends his signature sound for background vocals, plus acoustic guitar, mandolin and banjo.

King will join Childers on his 2023 Send in the Hounds Tour at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on August 2 and 3.

King is set to release her new album Come Get Your Wife, on January 27. The record includes her current single, “Worth A Shot” (feat. Dierks Bentley), which hit No. 1 this past weekend on SiriusXM’s, The Highway Hot 30 Countdown.

Other tracks already available from the new record are the feisty “Try Jesus,” “Out Yonder,” and “Drunk (And I Don’t Want To Go Home),” with Miranda Lambert. “Drunk” became the first woman-woman collaboration to reach the top-spot on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart since Reba McEntire and Linda Davis’ “Does He Love You,” in 1993.

Elle King can do many things, ranging from exuberant alternative/punk to soul pop. She’s also been a compelling presence in country music; winning both Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music Awards and breaking the 30 year old, glass-ceiling record for women on the radio charts with the lead single “Drunk (And I Don’t Want To Go Home).” She’s collaborated with Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Ashley McBryde and been on tour with Chris Stapleton for the better part of 2022; it’s been an unbridled love fest with Nashville’s music community.

Now she makes it country music official with Come Get Your Wife, a dozen glorious tracks that run a gauntlet of styles and attitudes leaving King’s roots showing. See the album trailer below. Set for release on Jan. 27, the quadruple Grammy nominee co-produced the album with award winning songwriter Ross Copperman and the result is a collection that moves through all the topics. From being a hot mess, a glorious excess and a woman coming into her own, King has created a very real, small-town frayed at the edges but solid at core missal.

“Even the album title, it comes from something some asshole said to my partner one night. Something thrown off in a bar, intended to put me in my place… and he probably didn’t think twice about it. But I did.”

Indeed, she did. Elle King, singular, swaggering, sardonic, is a musically and personally fearless woman. With Come Get Your Wife, she sharpens her gaze, digs into her roots, puts her banjo front and center and creates a record that’s as alive and electric as she is. Taking all the pieces – the rock, soul, (blue)grass and country that she loves – she’s made an album that demands your attention, then delivers on all cylinders.

“There’s something about how you put the pieces together,” King offers of her first true country project. “This whole album is a crazy quilt of all sorts of moments and things that might not seem to go together, but because they’re me, they do. It’s very Southern Ohio, very who we are – and very much a lot of people who are just like me, because I know they’re out there.”
