Lanie Gardner

Hailing from the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, Lanie Gardner has quickly established herself as one of country music’s most distinctive new voices, blending the storytelling heart of country with the grit of rock, the soul of blues and the hooks of pop. She first captured global attention with her viral cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams,” which has amassed more than 100 million views and helped launch her career. Since then, she has been named a 2025 Artist to Watch by the Recording Academy, and a member of CMT’s Next Women of Country: Class of 2025. Gardner made her Grand Ole Opry debut in 2025 and has performed everywhere from Stagecoach to TODAY, while sharing the stage with artists including Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Jelly Roll, Ty Myers, the Jonas Brothers, Cody Johnson and ZZ Ward. Her songwriting has also led to collaborations with Thomas Rhett, Warren Zeiders and Dorothy, with “What Could Go Right." Released in 2025, Faded Polaroids introduced listeners to Gardner’s most personal collection of songs to date. Now, Faded Polaroids (Deluxe) expands that story with three new tracks, continuing to explore the experiences and emotions that have shaped Gardner both personally and creatively.
