Nashville Americana/Country artist, India Ramey will be playing the Mercury Lounge June 22, 2023.

Georgia born, Alabama raised and Nashville based Americana and Country artist, India Ramey was singing before she could talk. The granddaughter of a Sand Mountain, Alabama bluegrass and gospel singer, she came by her love to music honestly. “There was always music around me growing up whether it was Grandaddy’s gospel singing or Saturday house cleaning days with my Mom and sisters singing Fleetwood Mac at the top of our lungs."

India’s musical journey was not typical. “Having grown up poor, there was a lot of pressure for me to ‘go to college and make money’ so I convinced myself that music was just a hobby”. Ramey, a domestic violence survivor graduated college, got a law degree and became a domestic violence prosecutor. Despite her love of helping people, Ramey’s love for music won in the end. She gave up her law career to become a full-time musician and songwriter, moved to Nashville and has never looked back.

Featured as one of the “Must See Acts at SXSW “(No Depression, Austin Chronicle), a Nashville’s Lighting 100 artist of the week, a two-time Americanafest showcasing artist, and one of NPR’s “10 Nashville Artists on the Rise”, India has only continued to rise among the ranks of as one of Country and Americana’s brightest up and coming artists. Ramey’s last two albums’ mix of Americana noire, country and southern-gothic songwriting helped expand Ramey’s reputation far beyond the Deep South and she toured heavily around and beyond those releases. Her most recent album, Shallow Graves debuted at number six on the Euro Americana Charts and landed a song as Rolling Stone’s pick of the week.

Now, Ramey is wrapping up recording a new album with Grammy award winning producer, Luke Wooten (Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley, Sunny Sweeny, Jim Lauderdale). The new album leans further into India’s classic country sound but still features her affinity for dark cinematic imagery. The album has a big, warm sound and is some of India’s best, most introspective writing yet. “I have experienced so much growth as a human and as an artist over the past three years and it’s all here in these songs.” -India Ramey
