Alli Walker at Crawdads on the Lake

All concerts are festival style. Seating is avialable on the patio on a first come basis. Dinner reservations are highly recommended. Ticket purchase does not guarantee seating for dinner. This event is for those 21 and over.

One of our favorite artists from 2025 at Crawdads. We had so much fun with Alli and getting her back again this year was important. If you missed last year you have to come see this concert. She and her band will blow you away. High energy and you won't believe the addition of bagpipes to a country concert.

Nashville-based country singer-songwriter Alli Walker, originally from Prince Edward Island,

Canada, is quickly becoming one of the genre’s most exciting new voices. With nearly one million followers across social media and two CCMA Award nominations this year, Walker has

carved out a lane that is unmistakably her own. Her sound blends the storytelling heart of

traditional country with the energy of pop, rock, and the unique flair of her East Coast roots—

often punctuated by her signature use of bagpipes, which has become one of her most

recognizable calling cards.

Walker’s rise reflects both talent and tenacity. After getting her start performing in Canadian

clubs and festivals, she made the leap to Nashville, where she began releasing original music

rooted in honesty, vulnerability, and empowerment. Her songs often explore resilience, identity,

and the messy middle spaces of adulthood—earning her a devoted audience drawn to her

authenticity and fearless creative choices. Fans discovered her viral “mindful music” series

online, but stayed for her anthemic singles, dynamic live performances, and the way she balances

strength with a sense of play.

In 2024, Walker had a breakout year defined by several career-making moments. A standout

highlight was joining country icon Shania Twain on stage to perform Walker’s hit “The

Whiskey’s Gone,” complete with a soaring bagpipe solo that stopped the show and introduced

her to a global audience. She also recorded the heartfelt duet “First Time

Living” with Gretchen Wilson, a mother-daughter themed ballad exploring forgiveness,

generational healing, and the way families find their way back to each other. The track’s

emotional resonance quickly made it a fan favorite. That same year, Walker stepped onto one of

country music’s most hallowed stages—the Ryman Auditorium—marking a milestone she had

dreamed of since childhood.

Her career momentum attracted attention from both sides of the border. Walker is now signed

to 604 Records in Canada, the label owned by Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger, and to Huff Co. in

the United States, led by acclaimed producer Dann Huff. Her next album is already underway,

with new music produced by Kroeger, Huff, and hitmaker Michael Carter(Cole Swindell, Luke

Bryan). The trio’s combined sonic vision pushes Walker further into the powerful, genre-bending

lane she’s built—pairing anthemic hooks with raw emotional depth and the bold instrumentation

fans have come to expect.

Whether she’s delivering a gut-punch ballad, firing up a festival crowd, or marching across a

stage with bagpipes strapped to her back, Alli Walker is redefining what modern country can

look and sound like. Her blend of musicianship, magnetic storytelling, and unstoppable drive

marks her as an artist on the cusp of a major breakthrough. With new music, bigger stages, and

an expanding global fanbase, she’s stepping into the most exciting chapter of her career yet—and

she’s doing it entirely on her own terms
