Jenna LaMaster was well on her way to making a name for herself on the professional rodeo circuit when she chose to pursue her other passion – country music.
Originally from the mountains of Northern California, Jenna’s love for country music took root early, fueled by the 90s country music that filled the cab of her family’s farm truck.
Out on the rodeo circuit, Jenna always had her grandpa’s Martin guitar stashed in the trailer for downtime singalongs and to lead worship at Cowboy Church. As the passion for music became more fruitful than winning in the arena, she made the decision to trade the rodeo for a career in music. The barrel-racing western songbird realized her calling was to write lyrics that make people feel seen and understood – the very reason she fell in love with country music in the first place.
After moving to Nashville, Jenna signed a publishing deal and dedicated herself to honing her craft as a songwriter where she’s written songs for artists such as Ashland Craft, Kasey Tyndall, Faren Rachels, Dylan Marlowe, and Jake Worthington. In late 2023, she took the pivotal step of releasing her debut single, Drunk Thoughts – a raw, vulnerable story of heartbreak. Inspired by the authentic and honest country music that she grew up on, Jenna sought out producers and musicians who could capture her vision and sound, shaped by the influences of Lee Ann Womack, Patty Loveless, George Strait, and Miranda Lambert. She joined forces with the legendary Paul Franklin and Grammy-winning Glenn Worf to produce six songs – including her follow-up singles – to showcase her powerful songwriting and distinctive voice.
Proving herself as a rising star in country music, Jenna made her debut at the iconic Ryman Auditorium opening for country music legend Terri Clark and earning a standing ovation. She also hit the road with fellow westerner Ian Munsick and will be playing the “Next From Nashville” stage at Tortuga Music Festival next April.
