Aubrie Sellers

Aubrie Sellers introduced her distinctive approach to Americana upon issuing New City Blues in 2016, labeling the hybrid “garage country” to capture the way she fuses country structures with guitars that either generate noisy clamor or conjure vivid sonic landscapes. Her gentle vocals offset the darker tone of the rockers and ballads she favored, an approach she developed further on Far from Home in 2020 before pushing it to new extremes on Breaking Point, the 2021 album recorded with Jade Jackson.

Born February 12, 1991, to country singer Lee Ann Womack and Jason Sellers, a songwriter and guitarist recognized especially for his contributions alongside Ricky Skaggs, Sellers turned professional in her early twenties. Her earliest notable appearance on record came in 2015 when she joined her mother for a duet on the Ralph Stanley release Ralph Stanley and Friends: A Man of Constant Sorrow. Thirty Tigers issued New City Blues the next year; stepfather Frank Liddell produced the sessions, which earned widespread praise and paved the way for the 2020 follow-up Far from Home, again helmed by Liddell. The independent project earned Sellers a pair of Americana Music Honors & Awards nominations—one for Emerging Act of the Year and another for Song of the Year.

During summer 2020 she put out the covers EP World on Fire, which included atmospheric renditions of Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game” and Dwight Yoakam’s “A Thousand Miles from Nowhere.” In 2021 she paired with Ryan Culwell for a version of Nine Inch Nails’ “Head Like a Hole.” Later that year she and fellow Americana artist Jade Jackson formed the duo Jackson & Sellers, whose first album, Breaking Point, appeared on Anti- that October.
