Emerging country artist Gable Burnett showcases her unique voice through authentic storytelling and upbeat energy. Her latest single, “Trouble,” is an enthusiastic introduction to her fusion country sound, complete with a vivid retelling of a childhood experience through the town rumor mill.

Gable Burnett has been passionate about creating music for as long as she can remember. “I started in music at a very early age,” shares Gable. “My mom’s side of the family was very musical and full of talented musicians. I’d always been around music in that way. Even at a young age, growing up in Knoxville, Tennessee, with an acres of land all around, I ran around outside singing to trees and making songs about creeks.” Spurred by her cousins’ abilities to play instruments by ear, Gable dabbled with a variety of instruments before finally settling on the guitar. “My mom was hesitant because she’d given up on so many jokingly. But then we borrowed a family friend’s son’s guitar for six months and I practiced all the time.” Under the wing of Dawn Wills, Gable went on to master the guitar over the next few years.

Before 2020, Gable had her next steps aligned: she would move to Nashville, take one of many opportunities she had waiting, and make her way to center stage. Unfortunately, life presented a few hiccups along the way, including a major pandemic and years of uncertainty to follow. When she finally dusted off her old plans, Gable Burnett found herself starting a new chapter.

Gable isn’t just a great musician—she is also a captivating storyteller. “I knew I needed a manager who could walk into a room for me and say I was worth hearing,” shares Gable. “My mother is a real estate agent—and proud parent—who would play my song on playlists while driving clients around. That’s what she did with a client who was moving from Dallas to California. She mentioned I was looking for a manager and we wished we knew someone… then the lady said she did know someone.” That is how, around the time of her third independent release, Gable serendipitously met her soon-to-be manger, Lisa Kaiser.

Through subsequent artist development under the guidance of her manager, Gable improved her vocal delivery and rerecorded the vocals to her original songs in an upgraded studio setting.

Gable isn’t a common name. Like many areas of Gable’s life, it comes with a fascinating story. “My grandmother grew up in California and went to a Catholic girls’ school with the daughters of famous parents. My great-great grandmother was a costume designer at a theatre that performed next to movie lots where they shot at frequently those days. Actors would come to the theatre and network in the lobby. My grandmother loved old Hollywood and wanted to be an actress herself. Clark Gable was big around the time my aunt was born. When my grandmother went into labor, they couldn’t find my grandfather anywhere. After 17 hours, he walked in holding a cigar and asked what the baby’s name was. Gable, she said, because Clark Gable wouldn’t treat me half as poorly as you have.” Gable’s aunt, the original Gable, would later become her namesake.

Since its creation, “Trouble” has received musical upgrades. “The core elements are the same, but the arrangement production is different,” shares Gable Burnett of working with producer Nick Brown. “I kept the original instrumental recordings from studio musicians. Nick put his twist on the original. It turned out better than I could’ve hoped for.”

The song speaks to a personal experience she hopes resonates with listeners. “For me, it kind of is a way of poking at people who took some of the things I did as a kid and blew them up over time. It started out as a family joke. One time I went in my neighbor’s backyard and took one of their koi fish. It was like going fishing with my dad—how did I know? Then another time, I ran away from my Girl Scout troop that met in the elementary school across from my house. I didn’t want to deal with it, so I walked home without telling anyone.”

When the stories got out of hand and snowballed into a persona that didn’t fit the real Gable, she found a way of pushing back—through song. “Anyone who knows me knows I’m no trouble at all,” she adds.

Gable finds inspiration comes to her everywhere and anywhere. “I usually get lyrics here and there or little melodies that go with them or by themselves. I’ll write them down in the notes of my phone or record a quick voice memo. Inspiration can strike anywhere, and it does quite often,” she explains. “Trouble” began in the same vein, as a small voice in her head repeating the catchy “Trouble” that echoes throughout.

“I sat down with my cowriter and shared the ideas I had written down. At this point all I had was a bit of the chorus. So, I wrote the chorus with her and then built the song around it.” When it came to the instrumentals, Gable trusted her studio musicians to know their instruments best. “I knew I wanted certain ones in the song—fiddle and electric guitar—but I let all the musicians run wild with it.”

At the end of the day, Gable Burnett hopes listeners will enjoy her single and relate to it on their own terms. “My goal is to connect with people through music and make them feel seen and heard,” adds Gable.
