Avery Gipson and Carson Mac

“(Avery Gipson) demands attention for what her lyrics convey: no matter where you end up, you are always connected to your roots.”
— Neon Tunes

Atlanta native Avery Gipson is an award-winning singer-songwriter who tells universally relatable stories that both capture and move listeners. Often writing about the “hard stuff” we go through in life, Avery has a craft for making something tragic sound beautifully human. The winner of the Eddie’s Attic 49th Bi-Annual Songwriters’ Open Mic Shootout and a three-time National Young Arts Merit Winner in Voice-Singer/Songwriter, Avery recently graduated from the Belmont University songwriting program. 

Avery has a passion for performing live, breathing life into her songs wherever she goes. At the young age of 15, Avery started playing notable venues in Atlanta and Nashville such as Eddie’s Attic and Hard Rock Cafe, opening for acts including Communicant Band and playing festivals alongside artists such as Rayland Baxter. In fall 2022, she released her third studio single “Til Death Do Us Part”, which has been her biggest hit yet at 120k streams. As a songwriter her cuts include “Freight Train” by Corrina, “Say” by Savannah, and “Fool’s Gold” by Elaina Christiana. In 2025, Avery released her fourth studio single, “Sit in Silence”, which will be the last record on her upcoming debut EP, which she is working on now.
