Two time CMAA Golden Guitar ‘Female Artist of the Year’ Finalist in 2022 & 2023, ICMA ‘Most Popular Femal Artist of the Year’ in 2024 & CMC Award Finalist 2018, Hayley Jensen, is well known for her souring, powerhouse vocals and dynamic stage show.
Her fresh new single, ‘Stomping Ground’ out on April 12 via MGM Distribution is a foot-stomping anthem that promises to set airwaves on fire & ignite festival stages. Produced by the award-winning production team MSquared (Casey Barnes, Zac & George, Kaylee Bell, James Johnston) and co-written by Jensen alongside Troy Kokol and Alexandra Adamoski (Alee), "Stomping Ground" is a catchy, high-octane celebration of freedom & friendship. The lyrics paint vivid scenes of late-night escapades and carefree revelry that transport listeners to a world where gravel roads lead to unforgettable nights. With its infectious energy "Stomping Ground†is destined to become a staple in country-pop playlists.
