A Historic Debut Expanded
Country artist Carter Faith released the deluxe edition of her acclaimed debut album, Cherry Valley Forever, on August 26, 2026. Issued via MCA, the expanded project adds five new tracks to the original record. These new additions include the song 'Nothin’ Better To Do' featuring Wyatt Flores, as well as 'Pearl Handled Pistol' featuring Laci Kaye Booth and Baby Nova. The deluxe release arrives after a historic run of accolades for the original project.
The original Cherry Valley album earned an ACM Album of the Year nomination. It became the first debut album in a decade to secure a nod in that category, following Chris Stapleton's Traveller in 2016. Rolling Stone further recognized the project by naming it their number one country album of the year and placing it at number 17 on their Best 100 Albums of 2025 list. The record was shaped over two years of writing with longtime producer Tofer Brown, and the pair officially entered the studio in 2024 to record the project.
Television Debuts and Career Milestones
Beyond her recorded music, Faith has recently reached several major career milestones. She was named an Amazon Music Breakthrough Artist and recognized as Music Row’s 2025 Discovery Artist of the Year. She made her late-night television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, having previously appeared on the program to perform her holiday single, 'Ugly Sweater'. Soon, she is set to make her acting debut in the upcoming Netflix film Heartland, appearing alongside Jessica Chastain.
Faith has also built a strong presence in the live music space. She has made over a dozen appearances at the historic Grand Ole Opry and performed a duet with Karen Fairchild at the 18th ACM Honors. Throughout her career, she has shared stages with a diverse range of prominent artists, including Post Malone, Jelly Roll, George Strait, Little Big Town, and Noah Cyrus.
Hitting the Road
This fall, Faith is embarking on the Cherry Valley Forever Tour, bringing her new music to audiences across North America. The extensive run of shows kicked off in late August with dates supporting Chris Stapleton in New York and New Jersey. The itinerary features a mix of headline performances and high-profile support slots alongside Kacey Musgraves and Shaboozey. The tour will carry her through major cities across the United States and Canada, culminating with a final headline show in Lexington, Kentucky, in mid-November.
