About the artist:
Where “authentic, honest-to-God Appalachian Mountain country music” is concerned, as Boonerang Music Festival put it, leave it to alternative-country and roots-rock artist, Pressley Laton, and her band to deliver just that. A North Carolina native who grew up on a steady mix of ’90s country, ’50s/’60s rock ‘n’ roll, and classic rock, Pressley blends those influences with a knack for character-driven storytelling to create a sound all her own.
Her 2024 EP, Didn’t Stand a Chance, showcases her range — from the heartfelt, genre-bending ballad, “Gypsy Soul,” to the hard-hitting country-rock anthem, “Mountain Man.”
Alongside her songwriting, which earned 3rd place in the Music City Singer-Songwriter Throwdown at Bird’s Nest Listening Room in 2025, Pressley and her band’s collaborative energy has led to performances opening for artists such as ‘90s country star, Wade Hayes, and regional country artist, Adam Church, and appearances at venues and festivals including Amos’ Southend, Evening Muse, Appalachian Theatre, Boonerang Music Festival, Antlers & Acorns: The Boone Songwriters Festival, and Southern Songwriter Festival, among others.
In January 2026, Pressley will return to Sioux Sioux Studio to record new music with producer, Jason Scavone — a continuation of the honest storytelling and grit that define her sound.
