Lauren Daigle just booked her first ever 44 date arena tour. She will perform the major cities like Dallas, Atlanta, Orlando, Minneapolis, Omaha, Nashville, New York and Toronto. The tour will finalize in her hometown at the Cajundome in Lafayette, Louisiana. Ironically, Lauren Daigle has only scored one top 40 radio hit whereas most artists need several big hits to garner a large fan following. Daigle built her following with deep album cuts and Christian Radio hits.

Before releasing her own music, the Nashville based artist Elise Hayes toured as a background singer and keyboard player for Carly Pearce, opening for Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, and Thomas Rhett. Song Placements include ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, Freeform’s The Bold Type, and MTV’s Siesta Key. Check out the new song New York City which is a personal one for Elise. She says, “This song is a true story. In my own relationship, we are both touring constantly. I have a fierce desire to be independent, but missing someone makes you so vulnerable at the same time. Sometimes you’ll fly to New York City on a whim, or do something out of the blue just because you miss your person.”
