Brittney Spencer, the Baltimore-born country singer-songwriter, brought a refreshing blend of country and R&B to ACL Fest’s first weekend.

Spencer’s setlist featured songs primarily from her debut album “My Stupid Life,” set to release in January on Elektra Records. The crowd was treated to “I Got Time” and “Night In,” which had fans singing along, and the ballad “Deeper” that showcased her soulful storytelling. A highlight was “Sober & Skinny,” a poignant take on a self-destructive relationship, which led into “Reaching Out,” an anthem for the isolated and downtrodden.

The band’s performance was not just about the music; it was a narrative of Spencer’s journey. From her viral Twitter cover that caught the attention of country artists to her upcoming album, Spencer’s path reflects a dedication to her craft and a connection with her audience. Her biggest songs, like “Bigger Than the Song,” resonate with listeners for their authenticity and relatability.
