NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 22, 2022) - Country up-and-comer Kelsey Lamb made her national television debut Monday night (March 21), performing tune “Never Like This” on the season and series premiere of NBC’s American Song Contest. Hosted by pop superstar Kelly Clarkson and hip hop/rap mogul Snoop Dogg, American Song Contest - a spin on hit show Eurovision - boasts contestants in all genres, and from each state or territory in the United States. Lamb joined the cast as the official representative of her home state of Arkansas.

Lamb’s rendition of “Never Like This,” co-written by country darling Carly Pearce, Parker Welling, and Casey Brown, garnered a standing ovation. Clarkson praised it “sounded like a hit country song,” while Snoop Dogg said it made him get “in my zone.”

And though 2020 and 2021 presented a myriad of COVID-linked hurdles, the Arkansas native continued her forward momentum, releasing a succession of successful singles, including “Talk to Me,” “Where Do You Go,” “Little By Little” - which has seen well over 1 million collective streams on its own - and “They Never Loved You,” a duet with now-husband and fellow artist Taylor Goyette.

Lamb’s most recent single, “Me & the Bar,” is a beat-driven tune that pays homage to the important role a place like a bar can play in one’s life. Outside of her musical endeavors, Lamb’s also had success in acting: she’s appeared in multiple movies, including Hallmark’s Christmas in Homestead and Traces, and UPtv’s A Very Country Christmas, in which Lamb acted alongside country star Deanna Carter (the film also featured several songs from her debut holiday EP Christmas with Kelsey, as did Hallmark hit Christmas Wedding Planner).
