From AXS Entertainment By Lisa L. Rollins, Nashville Country Music Examiner

Music City U.S.A. has no shortage of musical talent, to be sure, yet 2014 has yielded a string of musical standouts, and in particular, among the female set.

From powerhouse vocals to songwriting chops that delight and hold their own in a town known for its second-to-none tunesmiths, Examiner has compiled its list of the “Top 5 Female Country Newcomers” for 2014.

While one or two of these artists may seem somewhat familiar, each of the performers contained in this five-songstress collection deserve a thoughtful listen.

With hometowns that run the gamut, from Alaska and New Jersey to Florida, a commonality they possess is their desire to create heartfelt country music that resonates with country fans.

Thus, without further adieu, the following is a list of Examiner’s most-promising female country stars in the making.

LIZZIE SIDER

Last but not least, fresh-faced Lizzie Sider has captured the national spotlight with her impassioned anti-bullying campaign, dubbed “Nobody Has the Right to Ruin Your Day,” and a multi-city school tour, where she connects with kids, tweens and teens via her music and message. To date, the 15-year-old Sider’s shared her no-bullying message with 70,000-plus students. And as a spokeswoman for PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center, she’s uniquely qualified for her mission, since she was teased and ridiculed during her elementary school years.

During these presentations, the singer/songwriter tells her story, counsels that “nobody has the power to ruin your day” and asks kids to work together to prevent the tragedy that is bullying. The rising star ends each 30- to 40-minute appearance with a performance of her Top-40 country hit song/video,“Butterfly,” a song about her experiences that she wrote with Jamie O’Neal, and distributes bullying-awareness bracelets.

“Bullying doesn’t just happen in October during Bullying Prevention Awareness Month, it happens all year,” Sider shared in an email. “As someone who understands what it is like to be bullied, I am on a mission to help anyone who doesn’t think anyone will listen.”

The universal appeal of Sider’s music and the impact of her message have brought the media spotlight to bear on this engaging entertainer and made her “one to watch” 2014. Her burgeoning popularity has resulted in recent appearances on the “Queen Latifah” talk show, “The Daily Buzz Emotional MOJO” segment, Fox 35 Orlando and a feature in Country Weekly magazine, among other media exposure.
