Texas native singer, Laci Kaye Booth, is not a stranger to the limelight, as she was on Season 17 of American Idol and placed in the Top 5 and was named one of CMT’s “Next Women of Country.”

But through her journey of success, she faced challenges and overcame them to continue her passion of creating music, with tour appearances scheduled throughout the end of the year and a new single, “Damn Good In a Dive Bar”, slated for release soon.

Booth said, one of the challenges she faced on the journey to becoming a popular singer-songwriter was breaking out of her introverted and shy nature. Although, her experience on American Idol helped her to overcome those challenges, it presented other ones.

“I feel like starting out in country music as a female, there really was a big pressure especially being on American Idol; people love powerhouse singers,” Booth said.

She also said, she believes her ability to make a song her own and stay true to her voice made it possible for her to stay in the competition for so long and achieve success in the music industry.

Tonight at 7 p.m. Booth will open for the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour Presents: Blanco Brown event at the Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center.
