Luling, Texas, native embarked on a musical experience in Nashville as the winner of the Life Out Here Emerging Artist Program

BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States, announced today that Gloria Anderson from Luling, Texas, is the winner of its Life Out Here Emerging Artist Program. The Company partnered with multi-platform selling and CMA Award-winning country music artist Cody Johnson for the return of the program, which strives to discover and support emerging country artists who live and love Life Out Here.

Tractor Supply names Gloria Anderson the winner of its Life Out Here Emerging Artist Program.

Anderson’s original song “A Little Bit of Cowboy” tells the story of how the spirit of hard work and persistence—the cowboy spirit—exists within us all. With a sweet melody that blends Americana, country and a hint of bluegrass, Anderson’s entry stood out among thousands of submissions.

“Artists like Gloria are hometown performers from many of the communities we serve across the country,” said Kimberley Gardiner, Chief Marketing Officer at Tractor Supply. “Their songs are rooted in stories of Life Out Here. Through our Emerging Artist Program, we’re proud to support these artists in their journey and play a small role in opening doors along the way.”

The Emerging Artist Program is designed to reinforce Tractor Supply’s deep connection to rural culture and country music through genuine support of emerging talent and storytellers who reflect the values of its community. From October 15-December 1, Tractor Supply conducted a nationwide search to discover and support up-and-coming country music artists whose songs reflect the heart and spirit of “Life Out Here.” The Company selected five finalists who live Life Out Here as a firefighter, a Navy veteran, a rodeo rider, and alumni of 4-H and FFA before naming a winner. They are: Dzaki Sukarno, Zoe Walega, Chip Knox, Brooks Herring and Anderson.

Gloria Anderson grew up moving around the country but calls Luling, Texas, home. Her father shared his love of music, teaching Gloria her first five chords on the guitar. She followed her passion to Belmont University in Nashville where she studied songwriting and has since performed at many renowned venues and songwriter festivals. When not writing songs, Anderson enjoys riding horses and baking homemade bread.

As the winner of the Life Out Here Emerging Artist Program, Anderson received a once-in-a-lifetime Nashville experience, including mentorship opportunities and the chance to perform before a private Cody Johnson concert, record a song at the iconic Blackbird Studio, meet with music industry executives and more.

Tractor Supply first launched the Emerging Artist Program in 2023 with country music powerhouse Lainey Wilson and a team of all-star mentors. The inaugural Emerging Artists class featured Drew Hale, Tae Lewis, Austin McNeill, Cosette Smith and Hailey Verhaalen.
