Ava Liv Mabry

Ava Liv Mabry is a folk pop singer-songwriter from Franklin, Tennessee, and the youngest recipient ever of the Songwriters Hall of Fame's Abe Olman Award. She grew up on gospel music and started out busking on Franklin's downtown streets. Her songs blend acoustic folk, americana, and folk pop, with confessional writing from a deeply female point of view about relationships, family, faith, and home. She's worked with producers Todd Clark (Phillip Phillips, Banners, Noah Kahan), Paul Mabury (Lauren Daigle), Marc Sibilia, and Austin Bianco, and with songwriter Hayley Warner on the Magnolia EP. She recorded the duet "All Just the Same" with Nashville songwriter Lori McKenna and co-writer Luke Laird (Carrie Underwood, Eric Church, Kacey Musgraves) in early 2025. Her debut album, All American Girl Doll, comes out September 2026. LONAS (Thelma and James) produced the record. For the new album Ava and Lori McKenna co-wrote together, alongside writing with Sam Tinnesz ("Play with Fire," "This Is How Legends Are Made"), Will Anderson (Parachute), Levi Hummon, Jake Ethridge (Thelma and James), and Melissa Fuller. The lead singles "Dreamboat" and "For the Records" are brighter and poppier than her earlier work, which includes "Roman Empire," "Generations," "Last Name (Acoustic)," and the Magnolia EP. Hi! I'm Ava. I love connecting with you, so come say hi @avalivsmusic.
