NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 07, 2023) – Country singer-songwriter Brei Carter is gearing up to release her next original song project, the jovial pop-country anthem âStraight Up Country Crazy,â on Friday, June 9 by way of Brown Lee Entertainment & The Orchard (orcd.co/BreiCarterCountryCrazy).

Carter co-wrote the song with Ken Matthiesen, Blaine Younger, and Rachel Seilerand, and is set to bring the songâs upbeat style to visual life in a newly produced concept video being filmed and directed by Karl Weidmann of Southern Cabin Films.Â
âLife is too short to not be straight up country crazy,â says Carter. âEmbrace your roots, kick up your boots, and let the twang of your heart lead the dance. Because when you’re country crazy, life is just a little bit sweeter!”

About Brei Carter:
Emerging crossover country and southern pop recording artist Brei Carter is proof that sometimes faith, patience and time pays off. Growing up in Monroe, Louisiana with a solid, southern upbringing, Breiâs family raised her on several authentic southern staples: the Bible, Lone Star Missionary Baptist Churchâs choir, Charley Pride, Loretta Lynn, Aretha Franklin, and no shortage of familial love and devotion. However, before she became the dynamic and vivacious country singer she is today, Brei was busy earning a Bachelors in Business from University of Louisiana in Monroe, a Masters in International Relations from Webster University, and a Doctorate in Theology from New Foundation Theological Seminary. She is also a proud Veteran of the U.S. Army, where she served as an enlisted soldier and as an officer. Having moved to Nashville soon thereafter, Brei has quickly established herself in the songwriters community as a smooth and sometimes edgy songstress who melds country, soul and southern pop into one fused style. Her first single at country radio âGave Him A Girlâ was immediately recognized as âcute and catchyâ by country music journalist and historian Robert K. Oermann in his weekly DISClaimer review column for Music Row Magazine. Brei made her CMA Fest debut in 2022, along with a performance on WoodSongs Old Time Radio Hour. Her growing catalog of new music includes her debut album Brand New Country, released in Fall 2022, and new music on the way in 2023 slated for April & June. Carter is quickly proving herself to be a welcomed addition to the emerging new styles of country music in todayâs diverse musical landscape.
