Angaleena Presley

Born in 1976, Angaleena Presley is a budding country singer whose 2014 debut album, American Middle Class, exemplifies the classic Americana-style soul she brings to her songwriting. Presley initially began her career as a publisher, and through this position she came to meet Ashley Monroe and Miranda Lambert. These connections would eventually develop into a group called the Pistol Annies. Her breakout solo album has established her as a country musician who sticks to the Americana roots of the genre's beginnings, often telling deeply personal and moving stories.
