Alexis Wilkins speaks the truth — and she owns every word of who she is. The Arkansas-bred, Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and artist brings country music back to what it was built on: unapologetic storytelling, a cowboy-leaning backbone, and a reverent yearning for the past. She honors tradition while keeping it sharp and current, and she has the receipts to prove the audience is listening. Over two million streams across platforms, endorsements from CMT and American Songwriter, an independently released debut EP — GRIT — that premiered at #4 on the charts, and a single, “Country Back,” that climbed to #2 on the iTunes Country Charts. On the road, she’s opened for Lee Greenwood, Aaron Lewis, Chris Young, Joe Nichols, Sara Evans, Parmalee, and more — earning her following the honest way, show by show, fan by fan.
Her conviction runs through everything she does. Wilkins is a dedicated advocate for Veterans in Nashville’s music community, working with Warrior Rounds, Operation Standdown, and a Soldier’s Child. She has sung AT bedside through Musicians On Call and was honored to perform at VA memorial services. She pioneered the first live virtual performance program for Veteran patients and produced and delivered a nationwide Fourth of July broadcast to VA hospitals via closed-circuit television. Of her retreat days writing alongside Veterans through Warrior Rounds, she says simply: those are her favorite writing sessions. She also serves on the NRA Board and partners with organizations dedicated to telling stories of American excellence — commitments that reflect the same values woven through her music.
Her path to Nashville was anything but ordinary. She moved as a young child from Switzerland and England to Arkansas and Tennessee, found her footing in the Nashville songwriting community, and put in the work quietly and consistently — writing for herself and others, honing her craft while completing a degree in Business and Political Science from Belmont University on a full-time tour schedule.
New music is coming. In the meantime, when she isn’t in the studio or on the road, she’s with her family and her dog, adding to her collection of old books, writing articles, or getting her hands dirty on her 1989 F-150 Lariat.
