It was a dream-come-true moment for Priscilla Block when she got to meet and talk with the iconic Dolly Parton as she co-hosted the red carpet at this year’s ACM Awards in Las Vegas. The pair definitely have a few things in common, including a songwriting gift, being talented performers and musicians and both petite songstresses have blonde hair. Priscilla admires and respects the global superstar and business woman for many things, including her talent.

“I would say one female country legend that I look up to would be Dolly Parton,” she says. “I love how honest she is and she’s always just embraced who she is as a woman, and I love that so much. Big hair, big hoops and…you know what’s next. (laughs) I love me some Dolly.”

Priscilla is currently making her way across the country on her Welcome To The Block Party Tour, as well as heading up the country charts with her latest song, “My Bar.”

Keith Urban opened Monday night’s (April 11th) CMT Music Awards with his inspirational, dream-big single, “Wild Hearts,” pumping up the crowd and the viewers at home for the show.

“It’s a refreshing and accomplished pop-country debut album, and an ambitious one too… The sheer scale of some of the album’s choruses – on “My Bar,” “Heels in Hand,” “Wish You Were the Whiskey” and others – recalls the power country of the 1990s and early 2000s, when the genre was taking its cues from arena rock, and when its pop ambitions were unfettered. Nothing about this album is shy.” – The New York Times

Last month, Priscilla Block attended her first awards show with her first nomination for New Female Artist of the Year, the ACMs in Las Vegas, and even co-hosted the red carpet show. Last week, she found out she earned her first-ever nomination for the CMT Music Awards for Breakthrough Video of the Year, and she couldn’t be more excited.

“I am up for my first ever CMT Award! (screams) Who is she? I am freaking out right now, mainly because y’all get to vote,” says Priscilla. “You can go and vote like 20 times a day, but I’m up for Breakthrough Video of the Year with ‘Just About Over You,’ the song that y’all changed my life with. So, go vote. Go tell your Granny. Go tell your mom. Go tell your grandpa, whoever. Go vote, and I will see y’all on April 11th on the CMT Awards on CBS.” (screams)

Priscilla is making her way up the country charts with “My Bar,” which is from her debut album Welcome To The Block Party.

She is set to take her party on the road beginning Thursday (March 24th) in Birmingham, Alabama with her Welcome To The Block Party Tour.

Priscilla Block brought her debut album, Welcome To The Block Party, to life in the recording studio, and she loved every single minute of the entire process.

“I absolutely love being in the studio,” says Priscilla. “You know, when I wrote these songs (for Welcome To The Block Party), I have this thing in my head where I envision how it sounds. So, it’s so cool to get there and see the musicians playing along with the song and really seeing it come to life fully. It was so fun being in the recording process with some of my best guy friends. We all got to collab on this project and make it exactly what it is today.”

Priscilla, who recently released her new single “My Bar,” will host the ACM Red Carpet on Monday (March 7th) and then head across the pond to perform during the three-night C2C Festival beginning March 11th in London, followed by stops in Glasgow (March 12th) and Dublin (March 13th).

Priscilla Block has been announced as one of the hosts of the red carpet at this year’s ACM Awards, taking place Monday (March 7th). The “My Bar” singer and New Female Artist of the Year nominee will be joined by Kristin Cavallari (TV Personality), Zuri Hall (Access Hollywood) and Elaina Smith (Nights With Elaina) with the Red Carpet Show on Prime Video at 7pm ET/6pm CT/4p PT.

Mercury Nashville recording artist, Priscilla Block, is making her ELLEN Show debut performing her RIAA Certified Gold single, “Just About Over You,” on Thursday (March 3rd). Check your local listings for air times.

Being on the Ellen DeGeneres Show has been something Priscilla had dreamed about since she was a child. “Going on the Ellen show has been something I have dreamed of since I was little. I mean I used to sit there with my mom watching Ellen every single day. I actually put a picture of Ellen on my vision board for last year, and I just thought that would be something so amazing to achieve in my career, and I didn’t think it would happen this year with this being this her final season. So, it’s just such an honor that I get to go on the show and live this out, and I’m so nervous like what am I gonna do? What am I gonna wear? I don’t know, but you can watch it all go down on live TV.”

Priscilla, who recently earned her first ACM nomination for “New Female Artist of the Year” has been one of the most touted new acts out of Nashville over the past year. She has landed on “Artist to Watch” lists by Amazon Music, Spotify, MusicRow, PANDORA, Sounds Like Nashville, and more. Since her first release in 2020, she has surpassed over 250 million digital streams (and counting.) Priscilla was also recently named “Breakout Artist of the Year” by MusicRow for their 20th annual CountryBreakout Awards.

See Priscilla out on the road on her first headlining tour, The Welcome to the Block Party Tour, where she will be performing her latest single, “My Bar,” among others.

Originally from Raleigh, NC, Priscilla moved to Nashville to pursue music shortly after high school.
