NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Rising singer/songwriter Annie Bosko is stepping into a new chapter with her debut album, California Cowgirl, arriving October 3 via QHMG/Stone Country Records. Growing up a farmer’s daughter, the collection reflects her West Coast roots that run deep in the heart of California’s agricultural country while blending her love of timeless storytelling with a sound that’s equal parts confident and catchy. Pre-save/pre-add California Cowgirl HERE

  

California Cowgirl is a colorful tapestry woven from the threads of my life — with a fabric for everyone,” shares Bosko. “From the grit of growing up a farmer’s daughter to the faith that’s kept me chasing my dreams, this album reveals both the tender and the tough sides of who I am. It carries the pioneer spirit of the West, the heartbeat of the American dream and a Golden State glow with country soul.” 

To accompany today’s announcement, Bosko also releases a new studio version of “Honky Tonk Heartbeat,” a track fans may recognize from Ariat’s buzzed-about “Line-Men Dancing” campaign, featuring fellow Ariat ambassador and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. 

  

Penned by Bosko specifically for the campaign, Purdy leads his center Jake Brendel, retired tight end Bear Pascoe and a squad of Stanford University linemen in a choreographed line dance, bringing “Honky Tonk Heartbeat (Football Line-Men Dance)” to life: 

  

He’s a 24/7, 365 

Sun up til sun down 

Man on the grind 

But every now and then, he’s gotta cut loose 

Mud on his cleats and Ariat boots 

When that fiddle kicks in like a 99 drive 

He’s comin’ alive 

   

1, 2, 3 step 

Tip your hat, dip it back 

Show ‘em what them boots are for 

Cross over, heel, toe 

Gold buckle, do-si-do 

Touchdown, go for the score 

When he hears that ole 6 string 

He’s just like the first string 

First one out on the floor 

From tailgates to city streets 

He got that honky tonky heartbeat 

  

Working with producers Trent Willmon and David “Messy” Mescon, and writing alongside the likes of Mescon, Jeffrey Steele, Bridgette Tatum, Danny Myrick, Terri Jo Box and more, Bosko co-wrote over half the songs found on California Cowgirl, including the already released title track, “God Winks, “Tequila Time,” “Country Girls! (Who Run the World)” and “Heartburn” featuring Dwight Yoakam. The project also features tracks penned by Lainey Wilson, Garth Brooks and Hannah Dasher. 

  

Bosko will join Dolly Parton for Dolly: Live in Las Vegas at The Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace on December 10, following her album release party on October 3 at Desert 5 Spot in Los Angeles. She is also set for a headlining performance at Nashville Dance Fest this Sunday, September 7 and a date supporting Jessica Simpson at Genesee Theatre on Saturday, Sept. 20.

About Annie Bosko 

With a voice that beams like a ray of California sunshine, singer-songwriter Annie Bosko is channeling fresh inspiration into a new chapter of music with her debut album California Cowgirl via QHMG/Stone Country Records on October 3. Writing alongside David ‘Messy’ Mescon, Jeffrey Steele, Bridgette Tatum, and more, and collaborating with producer Trent Willmon, Bosko is crafting songs that reflect her upbringing as a farmer’s daughter. With fresh releases such as “Tequila Time,” “Country Girls! (Who Runs the World),” “God Winks” and “California Cowgirl,” the project showcases a sound shaped by ‘90s country twang and raw, heartfelt storytelling. Her self-titled EP saw the Golden State native making her late-night debut on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” with a performance of “Neon Baby” – a track that also marked her first charting single at Country radio. Bosko followed her acclaimed EP with stunning collaborations featuring country icons including Vince Gill on the reflective ballad “Higher Ground” and Dwight Yoakam on the Bakersfield-rooted “Heart Burn.” Her heartfelt rendition of “Help Me Make It Through The Night,” honoring Kris Kristofferson, has garnered 1 million streams on Pandora. Top 40 duet “Better Than You” with Joe Nichols hit the Country radio airwaves as a top five most-added song for five consecutive weeks, including one week before impact. Bosko broke out in 2014 with the SiriusXM/CMT hit “Crooked Halo,” which has amassed more than 3 million streams, earning her a title as an Artist to Watch from Rolling Stone Country. She went on to write songs recorded by Willie Nelson and Jessica Simpson, tour alongside Tim McGraw, Dierks Bentley and Blake Shelton, sell out the famed Troubadour and perform on the Grand Ole Opry and at Ryman Auditorium while also becoming an in-demand studio vocalist. Bosko will join Dolly Parton for Dolly: Live in Las Vegas at The Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace on December 10, following her album release party on October 3 at Desert 5 Spot in Los Angeles. She is also set for a headlining performance at Nashville Dance Fest and a date supporting Jessica Simpson at Genesee Theatre, among additional shows throughout 2025.For more information, visit AnnieBosko.com or follow along on InstagramTikTokX @AnnieBosko and Facebook.com/AnnieBoskoMusic.
