Avery Anna Rhoton (born March 3, 2004) is an American singer-songwriter from Flagstaff, Arizona who is signed to Warner Music Nashville. She gained attention when her single "Narcissist" became popular on social media, and for "Indigo", a duet with Sam Barber, which reached the top ten of the Hot Country Songs chart, the top fifty of the Billboard Hot 100 and charted in several international markets. Her music blends elements of country, rock, and acoustic pop music, and focuses on confessional, relatable songwriting largely based on her own experiences. Anna's debut album, Breakup Over Breakfast, was released on July 19, 2024.
Anna started singing at ten years old growing up in Flagstaff, Arizona and began playing guitar and piano at an early age. She gained prominence in 2021 posting videos of herself performing covers from artists such as Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Taylor Swift, and Kelsea Ballerini in her bathtub on TikTok and quickly amassed a sizeable online following, leading to her record deal with Warner Music Nashville. She also opened for Josh Turner, Parmalee, and Martina McBride in 2022, which further increased her profile. Anna made her Grand Ole Opry debut on September 30, 2022. She released her debut extended play, Mood Swings, on October 7, 2022. Of the project, Anna stated: "Mood Swings is made up of songs that are inspired by moments in my own life where I have felt either really happy, really in love, really confused, or even really sad. These songs come straight from the heart, so I am so excited for you to hear them!"
On June 10, 2024, Anna announced that her debut album, Breakup Over Breakfast, would be released on July 19, 2024 via Warner Music Nashville. In a post to Instagram accompanying the announcement, Anna stated: "These songs mean the world to me. It’s a little bit of rock, country, acoustic, pop, and everything personal. You have given me the safe space to write honestly and from the heart, thank you for always supporting me and sharing your stories and experiences with me through the music." She co-wrote all seventeen of the album's songs including singles "Make It Look Easy", "Two Sides of the Story", "Blonde", "Breakup Over Breakfast", and "Girl Next Door". The project also features collaborations with Parmalee, Dylan Marlowe, and Hillary Lindsey, Liz Rose, and Lori McKenna (known collectively as the Love Junkies).
On October 31, 2024, Sam Barber released "Indigo" from his debut album Restless Mind which features and was co-written with Anna. To date, it is the highest charting song of both artists, peaking at number 48 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number 8 on the Hot Country Songs chart. The song also became popular on the video-sharing app TikTok, propelling it to international success in various countries. Anna also features on the album's title track.
Anna released "Mr. Predictable", the lead single from her upcoming second album and her first solo music since Breakup Over Breakfast, on February 21, 2025. Anna subsequently announced her second album, Let Go Letters, would be released on May 16, 2025 alongside the debut of "Danny Don't", a single inspired by one of her fans who was struggling with his mental health. The title of the album is named after an initiative Anna began at her concerts in which fans would write down things they were struggling with as a way to process and let go of them, with each song on her album based on one of these letters.
