Kentucky-native Anne Wilson will be releasing her new album “Stars” on Oct. 17, with her performance at the Saenger Theatre happening on Oct. 25

“I started my music when my brother passed away through a tragedy, he died in a car accident in 2017 and music really became the cornerstone of my life,” said Wilson.

Wilson signed a record deal at 17, moving to Nashville at 18 and releasing her first song, “My Jesus,” at 19.

Now at 23, Wilson has accomplished so much more, releasing a book and a devotional, as well as releasing three studio albums.

“I am in both Christian and country spaces, which has been so cool, but on every stage, whether I’m opening for Morgan Wallen or I’m playing at a church, I preach the gospel,” said Wilson. “Faith has just been at the forefront of all that I’ve done.”

Wilson said she feels like her latest album, “Stars,” is the most authentic album she has released thus far.

“This album is all about wonder and dreaming of what God can do in your life, and never having a dream that’s too big or never praying a prayer that’s too big for God,” said Wilson.

“I feel like this album has such an inspirational aspect to it of like, keep going. God’s going to write a story in your life and God’s going to get you through this and he’s going to be there for you through this. So, that’s kind of the overarching theme of this record.”

Wilson will be performing songs from the “Stars” album, as well as songs from her previous two albums, at the show on Oct. 25.

“It’s been a heavy last month for our country and I just pray that these nights will be a source of hope for people,” said Wilson. “I expect these to be full of fun and just a night where people can get away and kind of turn off the worries of the world.”

Her tour begins on Oct. 18 in Nashville and ends on Nov. 23 in Greensboro, N.C.
