Growing Pains

Courtney Hale Revia is a Southeast Texas born and raised artist who finds balance between work and play. Her 3rd album, "Growing Pains", is due to be released in Europe on October 14th,, 2022. It is a true representation of her growth as a songwriter and woman, containing songs that touch on topics ranging from suicide and grief, to rainbows and hope. "Growing Pains" is a culmination of her life as a mother, teacher, wife, daughter and now a live music promoter.

The title track and 1st single off her third album was a song that, due to time and money, didn't make it onto her 2018 album and it has since unintentionally became the self derived theme of her current work. The album was tracked and finalized during 2020 and 2021, the same year she lost her father to covid 19.

The last song on the album pays tribute to her dad’s songwriting influences and completes the legacy of 'blooming where you are' that has been a subliminal message in Courtney's life since the song was written by her father, James T Hale, back in 1989. It was recorded live at her 7 Oaks venue. Courtney didn't realize this song was indeed her father’s until she found it in his book of songs in August of 2021, just 2 weeks after his passing. In reflection of the completed album, Courtney finds the theme of 'blooming where you are' to be mentioned in multiple songs including, "Rainbows At Night" and "One Way Out", giving power to the overall spirit that has come to be known as her album, "Growing Pains".

Courtney is unapologetically a confessional songwriter. As the daughter of a songwriter, she has experienced 1st hand the importance of storytelling and putting both experience and truth to music. She sees her purpose in entertaining, educating and inspiring. Her music is an eclectic mix of country, alt rock, americana, spiritual and folk.
