Today, rising Country artist making a splash in Nashville and beyond, LANIE GARDNER, announces her highly anticipated debut album A Songwriter’s Diary, out October 25 via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. This 10-track collection, penned entirely by Gardner, offers a deeply personal glimpse into her journey as an artist — serving as both a reflective journal and an introduction to her musical identity.
In celebration of the album’s upcoming release, Gardner unveils her new song, “Somewhere, Nowhere in Carolina” today. This soulful track captures the essence of her experience in the music industry, exploring feelings of disconnection and longing for home. “I was defeated and wanted nothing more than to be ‘somewhere’ back home and ‘nowhere’ in my career,” Gardner shared about her inspiration. Through this song, she found her authentic self again, stating, “Today, I write songs for my fans, my friends, and my family who pulled me through such a dark time. But that day… I wrote a song for me.”
