Macy Tabor

Saturday, September 16, 2023 - 3:00 pm - Tennessee Ave Stage

Macy Tabor is a 20-year-old singer songwriter who is a force to be reckoned with. Her stage presence and impressive yodels set her in a niche of her own. Compared to a young Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Brenda Lee, or Tanya Tucker, this seasoned young artist has been said to have all the sassiness and class of her idols Shania Twain and Miranda Lambert. Macy has been performing on stage since the wee age of four. She says the bigger the crowd to perform in front of, the better. That would explain why performing the National Anthem in front of nearly 10,000 spectators in attendance for the Vanderbilt Commodores came so naturally for her. She has performed on stages from Los Angeles, CA, Ft. Myers, FL, Sevierville, TN, Chattanooga, TN, to where she can now be found performing regularly at some of Nashville's hottest spots. She has also performed on several different stages during the CMA Music Festival over the past several years.

As a former co-host on an internet radio show in Nashville called The Kids Radio Club Show, Macy was also a former emcee and performer on The Nashville Spotlight. In 2016, as a nominee in several categories, Macy had the honor of performing at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center during the Josie Music Awards for Independent Artist in Nashville, TN. She was the 2017 Young Adult Rising Star Award Winner at the JMAs. After receiving three nominations in 2019, Macy brought home the JMA Young Adult Artist of The Year Award for Independent Artist.  With 2021 being Macy's first year in the adult category, she was nominated for Adult Female Vocalist of the Year, the Songwriter's Achievement Award, and the Adult Female Rising Star of the Year Award in which she won. With four nominations at the 2022 Josie Music Awards that were held at The Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, Macy was presented an award for Holiday Song of the Year for a song Macy cowrote titled "Honky Tonk Holiday".
​
Macy serves as an advocate for Notes for Notes, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing youth with completely free access to music instruments, instruction, and recording studio environments. Her involvement with "Notes for Notes" lead her to being able to perform all four days at the 2019 Bonnaroo Music Festival, in her hometown of Manchester, TN, on the Musicians On Call Stage. She has also had the honor of being part of a collaboration with country music singer/songwriter Kane Brown and US Bank at the Notes for Notes studio in Nashville. This was on a continuation series with the CMA Foundation to support music education opportunities in schools and nonprofit organizations where there is a great need.  
​
As winner of the first Lynchburg Winery Shine on Series Singer/Songwriter Competition in 2018, Macy's songwriting has been compared to that of a young Taylor Swift's style of writing. Winning this competition gave her the opportunity to be the first artist to ever play on the main stage, of the first ever Lynchburg Music Festival in 2019. In 2018, Macy held the title of Miss Lynchburg Outstanding Teen. She also served as Lead Junior Spokesmodel for the Confidently Ready by Josie Passantino cosmetic, skin care, and hair care line. In her spare time, Macy enjoys volunteering in her community, and for any cause that is in support of our military and our veterans.
