Noelle Toland Lights Up 615 Live with Sparkle, Soul, and Sound to Remember
At Brickshore Media’s 615 Live event during CMA Fest in Nashville, rising country artist Noelle Toland didn’t just take the stage—she owned it. Dressed in sparkling sequins and tall glittering boots to match, Noelle delivered a performance that was warm, energetic, and absolutely unforgettable.
Backed by her guitarist in a stripped-down, yet vibrant acoustic set, Noelle ran through a series of original songs that showcased the depth of her catalog and the sincerity of her artistry. From the first note, it was clear: this is a woman who knows exactly what she’s doing and who she is as an artist.
Originally from North Plains, Oregon, Noelle brings a West Coast authenticity to Nashville’s storytelling heart. Though far from the genre’s typical southern roots, she grew up tailgating, riding horses, and living the kind of life that country songs are written about. Her background adds a refreshing edge to her music—one that listeners can’t help but take notice of.
One of the standout moments of her 615 Live set was her critically-acclaimed single “Nashville Numbers.” With a must-see official music video released on the American Country Network in late June, the song is a twangy, heartfelt ode to the pain, nostalgia, and liberty of letting go of love that wasn’t right and finding revelation in the chaos. The track captures both the ache of heartbreak and the thrill of reinvention—the accompanying video set against backdrops of Music City and golden coastline. Live, the song took on new life, blending vulnerability and strength in a way that brought the crowd to a trance.
Noelle has several singles under her belt, and each one builds on her mission to modernize and personalize old-school country. Her voice, both literally and artistically, is rooted in the classic storytelling tradition, yet there’s something distinctly fresh about her delivery. Songs like “Sun Will Rise,” “It Matters to Me,” and “Watermelon Crawl,” have already introduced fans to her blend of soulful vocals and fiery ‘90s country influence. With every stand-out performance, she makes it clear that this is only the start for her.
As a special treat for the 615 Live audience, Noelle previewed an unreleased track titled “Hand Made,” a soulful, introspective ballad that highlights her DIY spirit and emotional depth. She introduced the song with a nod to the hands-on hustle it takes to build a music career in today’s landscape and to simply thrive as a person—a message that resonated with aspiring artists and fans alike.
And there’s more on the horizon: “Noelle Toland released her latest single I’ve Been Led, continuing her streak of heartfelt, roots-driven music. If “Nashville Numbers” is any indication, fans can expect more of the lush storytelling and polished grit that has become her signature. However, we can never count out a surprise from a true artist like Noelle.
Throughout her set, Noelle’s energy was magnetic—confident but approachable, polished yet authentic. With influences like Trisha Yearwood and Faith Hill guiding her sound, Noelle Toland is carving out a lane that’s both classic and revolutionary. Her performance at 615 Live proved that she’s not just a rising star, she’s a force.
As her boots reflected the stage lights and her voice rang out with clarity and conviction, one thing was crystal clear: Noelle Toland is someone Nashville and the world can only expect to see more of.
