Country music at the Ritz

TIFFIN --- The Ritz Theatre welcomes country music artist RaeLynn at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. RaeLynn says, "It's going to be such a fun show, I can't wait for the fans to go on that journey with me." RaeLynn describes her music as "modern country with old country music songwriting." She has released three new songs this year, including "What's Wrong With That?" and "It's Happening Right Here," a ballad for human trafficking awareness that was featured in the film of the same name. "In country music, the storytelling is just my favorite. I love the fact that its honest people telling the honest truths about their lives." A natural writer, RaeLynn also released a children's book, "Raisin' Me a Country Girl," based on her song of the same name. The book, released this July, was inspired by her daughter, Daisy. Audiences can expect an energetic and passionate show. Tickets are available on The Ritz's website at https://ritztheatre.org/events/raelynn. After appearing on The Voice with mentor Blake Shelton, RaeLynn moved to Nashville. Now 11 years into the game, RaeLynn still takes inspiration from her childhood, learning music in church and listening to artists like Dolly Parton, The Chicks, and Shania Twain. RaeLynn's first album "Wildhorse" reached #1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart. RaeLynn says "I'm still the same girl that moved here at 18 years old. It's been a whirlwind, but as the doors keep opening, I'm going to keep walking through them!"
