TORI MARTIN / “Cowgirls Ride”
Writers: Bill DiLuigi/Kirsti Manna/Tori Martin; Producer: Bill Warner; Label: LuckySky Music
– Soaring and anthem-like, Martin wails above a femme harmony chorus, sometimes rapping, sometimes in a throaty alto. The twang production sits just right. The oft-repeated title words are pretty much the whole song. The video features cowgirls herding, barrel racing, doing equestrian show moves and saddling their steeds in the wide open spaces.

Tori Martin Delivers Western Cinematic Experience In New Music Video, “Cowgirls Ride”

Posted on by briserv
“This video is like a western oil painting come to life. A spectacular cinematic companion to a song that feels like an American standard. Simply beautiful!”- Allen Foster, Entertaining Options
Fort Worth, TX (September 24, 2025) – TRRR’s reigning New Female Artist of the Year Tori Martin delivers a high-impact Western cinematic experience with her new music video, “Cowgirls Ride.”  The video features an all-female cast of real cowgirls gathering before sunup for campfire coffee before saddling up and heading out to herd cattle, rope and ride. In addition to scenes of the women on the trail, there are vignettes of barrel races, rodeo queens, and synchronized Escaramuza team riding interspersed throughout. Cutaways to footage of Martin singing in different settings offers a dramatic juxtaposition. The reel features real cowgirls, vibrant and powerful, from the age of seven and up. The video is currently featured on the weekly Taste of Country Video Countdown, and the single is #2 on the TRRR charts. 
In the triple-digit heat of August in Weatherford, Texas, the video was shot in one single 23-hour workday, proving the dedication of Tori and her team. Producer/director Jason Engelman and camera operator/co-director Justin Frech filmed at several different ranches in the area. A last-minute venue change that could have led to chaos – instead led to a moment of pure visual perfection. Tori explains, “When our arena location fell through at the last minute, a friend found us a practice arena nearby. We were set to film at night, but the practice arena didn’t have lights,” Martin adds. “We ended up wrapping pickup trucks all around the fencing to illuminate the center with their headlights and it was epic. It was truly striking to see.”  Martin has already enjoyed two #1 singles: “Lost in the Country” (2024) and “Abilene” (2025) and hopes “Cowgirls Ride” will join them. She co-wrote “Cowgirls Ride” with Kirsti Manna and Bill DiLuigi and the single was produced by Bill Warner for LuckySky Music; fans can purchase the track here. Recent press includes Taste of Country, StarShine Magazine, Holler, Cowgirl Magazine, The Country Note, Country Evolution, and AOL.com. Check out Tori’s music, merch and more HERE.

About Tori Martin Born in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida this military brat lived in several states before landing in Azle, Texas at the age of seven. She spent most of her life just outside of the Dallas/Fort Worth area where she began singing in the local church choir. She cut her teeth on classics from Johnny Cash and Tammy Wynette, courtesy of her grandfather “Paw-Paw,” and by the age of 14 she was performing at Opry houses all over Texas. In 2014, Renegade Radio Nashville named her one of the “New Faces of Country.” Martin competed on Season 14 of ABC TV’s American Idol but departed the show in the Hollywood round. Taking all her experiences and a big dose of courage, Tori moved to Nashville in 2017. It didn’t take long before the talented singer/songwriter found herself co-writing with some of the city’s most famous tunesmiths, and it’s a path that has felt blessed from the start. A chance meeting at a mixer led to her working with producer Bill Warner and she signed to Nashville’s indie label, LuckySky Music, shortly thereafter. Now the two creatives are carving a path that is uniquely her own. With single releases like “What Would Dolly Do,” “Steppin’ In It” and “Lucky,” which reached #42 on the Billboard Indicator chart, Tori’s modern traditional Country sound comes from her roots as a true-blue Texas singer. Her previous single, “Lost In The Country,” reached #1 on the Texas Regional Radio Report, Top 25 on the CDX TRACtion Texas Chart and Top 15 on their True Indie Chart. She released the seasonal, “Warm For December” in November. Named one of the “Future Faces” of 2024 at the TRRR Music Awards, Tori opened for Drew Baldridge on select dates of his Fall 2024 tour. She won Texas Regional Radio Report’s 2025 “New Female Vocalist of the Year” award in March at the 15th annual Texas Music & Radio Awards Show in Arlington. Her single, “Abilene” reached #1 on TRRR chart, Top 10 on the Texas Music Chart and #11 on the CDX TRACtion Texas Chart in April. Her current single, “Cowgirls Ride,” was released in May. When she is not on the road, Tori enjoys antiquing, decorating and spending time with her husband and their two golden retrievers, Duke and Daisy, and French bulldog, Lucky.

Tori Martin’s Free-Spirited New Single,“Cowgirls Ride,” Out Today

Posted on by briserv

Country Evolution Premiered Earlier This Week
“With lyrics that draw on vivid imagery of Texas, open prairies, and free spirits, ‘Cowgirls Ride’ is a rallying cry for the women forging their own paths, whether in the saddle or in everyday life.”

  • Becky O’Connor, Country Evolution

Nashville, TN (May 23, 2025) – LuckySky Music recording artist Tori Martin’s powerful new single, the up-tempo anthem “Cowgirls Ride,” hits radio today. Following its premiere feature in Country Evolution earlier this week, the record is available for purchase now. The release follows Martin’s back-to-
back #1 Texas Regional Radio Report chart hits “Lost in the Country” and

“Abilene.”

“This song is for us,” says Tori. “It was inspired by cowgirls, rodeo queens and barrel racers, but it transcends to all women. It’s a mantra we were born to know. I hope it motivates cowgirls everywhere.”

Tori’s voice alternates between gritty challenge and gloriously sweet rafter- raising energy. Produced by Bill Warner, “Cowgirls Ride” evokes the high- drama moodiness of a classic Western movie soundtrack. Haunting guitars and a wide-open soundscape evoke the freedom of high prairie ranges. “I’m always
intrigued by the intangibles of a musical hook,” Warner notes. “We’ve been performing this live for a while and the chorus inevitably hits the mark with the audience.”

Well, they raise ‘em kinda restless
In the reckless heart of Texas
Bust the bolts right off the fences
They’re like tumbleweeds blowing
You can try but you can’t hold ‘em
Queens of the unbroken
Mustangs running wild
Cowgirls ride
Let the cowgirls ride (Bill DiLuigi, Kirsti Manna, Tori Martin)

Entertainer Tori Martin Rings In The Season With Jazzy New Single + Video, “Warm For December” 

Posted on by briserv

Nashville, TN (November 15, 2024) – Entertainer Tori Martin rings in the holiday season today with the release of a jazzy new single/video, “Warm For December,” for LuckySky Music. With her signature sultry vocal and a positive lover-to-lover message, this song is a celebration of emotion. Word play matches musical trills as a weeping steel guitar and evokes the comforts of a familiar touch backed by a slow-burning fire. In the video, a bare recording studio with a multitude of string lights allows the camera to focus solely on Martin, dressed in her 1940s cabaret singer-inspired best. “Overall, we wanted this to be low key with a throwback feel,” Tori recalls. “That inspired the video’s retro element as well. We wanted to create a smoky, late night jazz club vibe and I think we succeeded.”  

Tori co-wrote the song with hitmakers Bill DiLuigi and Kirsti Manna. The track was produced by LuckySky Music’s Bill Warner and recorded at WarnerWorks Studio, and features top-notch Nashville talent, including Russ Pahl (steel guitar), Dane Bryant (bass, keys), Bill Warner (guitars), and Brian Czach on drums. Directed by Skyler Wilson, the video, a Retro Current Marketing production, was filmed in Ft. Worth, Texas in early October.
 
A self-confessed “festive enthusiast,” Martin notes, “I love getting into the spirit early and I hope this song brings listeners much cheer.”
 
Tori’s most recent single, the upbeat and fun “Lost In The Country,” is currently #2 and rising on the TRRR charts, and she is now on tour with break-out artist Drew Baldridge. Remaining dates on that tour include:


11/15 – West Chester Township, OH – Lori’s Roadhouse
11/17 – Syracuse, NY – The Song and Dance
11/21 – Wyandotte, MI – District 142
11/22 – Rootstown, OH – The Dusty Armadillo
12/5 – Minneapolis, MN – Fine Line
12/6 – Des Moines, IA – Wooly’s

Tori featured in Western Slope

Posted on by briserv

Entertainer Tori Martin ditches the Big City in a big, white 1972 Cadillac and escapes to her rural roots in her latest music video, “Lost In The Country.” The clip was premiered last night via HEARTLAND TV Network.

The video follows the song’s storyline and features compelling imagery that begins with Tori’s ride (with her French Bulldog Lucky at her side) down a scarcely travelled two-lane country road. During the journey Martin’s pace slows and the tension unwinds as she is caught behind a pickup truck with a dog in the back (played by her own beloved Golden Retriever, Daisy), cattle by the roadside and pedestrians at the historic Fort Worth Stockyards. The turtle speed only encourages Tori’s animated singing, as she faithfully follows the road to a little white church where she shows some slick dance moves before trading vocal licks with a fiddler (Scarlett Deering) and a guitarist (her own band member, Austin Gardea). Cameo appearances feature Tori’s horse Butterscotch, gorgeous Texas sunsets and a campfire setting with friends.
