Gayle Thompson

Gayle Thompson has been part of the country music scene for almost two decades. Her list of outlets is extensive, including Billboard, Rolling Stone, PopCulture.com, Country Weekly, Prevention, Wide Open Country, and more.

  • “When we recorded The Mirror, I had such a hard time narrowing it down. I’d co-written so many songs for this project, and I just didn’t want any of them to get lost,” said Yearwood. “This whole writing portal opened for me, and these songs were too important to leave behind. The deluxe really feels like an extension of the album, every track could have lived on the original record because they’re all part of the same story.” “The Mirror Tour is really about bringing these songs to life in the way they were written, with just a guitar and a story. It’s intimate and stripped down, which is how I love to share music,” Yearwood added. “I can’t wait for folks to hear The Mirror in this setting, alongside the songs that have been part of my career all along. It’s going to be a fun way to share this chapter.”
