Zoee, an Australian-born country-pop singer-songwriter based in Nashville, Tennessee, is one of the most compelling rising voices in the genre in 2026. Her debut album The Butterfly Effect, released July 4, 2025, has surpassed 1.5 million streams worldwide and earned her sets at iconic Nashville stages including the Bluebird Café, Bridgestone Arena, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and the CMA Festival. In today’s installment of The Sunset Stage Series, the ongoing editorial tracking the rising acts we believe belong on a great festival stage, we shine the spotlight on Zoee as one of the most exciting names in country-pop right now. Sunset Country Fest 2027 is a country music festival taking place in Apopka, Florida, in the Greater Orlando area, in March 2027, and the stage we are building is exactly the stage Zoee was made for.
From Australia to Nashville: Zoee’s Road to Music City
Zoee was born and raised in Australia, where she built the foundation of a career that would eventually take her to Nashville in 2022. Before she ever walked into a Music City writing room, she had already won Song of the Year at the Women of Country Awards in 2021, a recognition that signaled the serious, award-level craftsmanship she was bringing to country music. Moving to Nashville meant stepping into one of the most competitive songwriting environments in the world, and Zoee hit the ground running.
She quickly secured co-writes with Grammy Award-winning and CMA Award-winning songwriters including Clayton Johnson, James House, and Steve Dorff, building a catalog with the kind of depth that comes from working alongside the best in the business. The results showed immediately on the live circuit. Zoee earned sets at the Bluebird Café, one of Nashville’s most selective listening rooms, as well as Bridgestone Arena, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and the CMA Festival. She has also toured extensively across the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, and Scandinavia, accumulating a genuine international audience before most of her peers had left their home states.
The Butterfly Effect: A Debut Album That Delivers on Every Track
Zoee’s debut album, The Butterfly Effect, arrived July 4, 2025, as a 10-track, 31-minute cinematic country-pop statement co-produced with Bonnie Dymond and recorded in Nashville. The record is built around a central idea: that small moments shape entire lifetimes. It is a thesis that plays out through a tracklist that moves between confidence, heartbreak, nostalgia, and self-discovery with a storyteller’s precision.
Standout tracks include the sharp-edged confidence of “I’ll Have What He’s Having,” the atmospheric ache of “Supernova,” the honest self-awareness of “Red Flags,” and the warm intimacy of “Wendy.” Together, the album shows a songwriter who already knows who she is and what she wants to say. Crossing 1.5 million streams worldwide without a major label push or a viral moment is the kind of number that proves an audience found her on its own terms.
