Carly Pearce bared her soul on her latest album, 29: Written in Stone, and while it was therapeutic and cathartic for her, she also did it for people who have ever been through or felt similar things.  “I write songs for people who are on a journey, for people who are going through things, for people who are living life, for people who are lost, for people that wanna feel uplifted, and honestly just for people that want to feel understood and seen,” says Carly.  “Because I think all of us, all we wanna do is feel like we’re not alone and that somebody understands.”

Every night when Carly performs and she sees people in the audience responding to her music, she knows the vulnerable honesty in her songs was worth it.  And she says, “I’m writing my songs from a place of looking at these people at my shows, cause I see them being moved by the lyrics, and saying, ‘I understand, me too.’”
