NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Country music singer-songwriter Makenzie Phipps’ latest single “Eighteen Wheels” is available today. Premiered by Voice of America’s Border Crossings with Larry London, “Eighteen Wheels” pays tribute to the men and women across the country who drive the semis, full of food and other cargo in bad weather, late at night, and during other hazardous condition so our country can function seamlessly. Written by Shane Begley and produced by Sal Oliveri (Chris Stapleton, Garth Brooks, Keith Urban), the song persists in showcasing Makenzie Phipps’ remarkable skill, while captivating every audience member she touches with each note. In support of "Eighteen Wheels," Cowboys & Indians also premiered an acoustic version as well.

“I am so excited to be releasing my new song “Eighteen Wheels," shares Phipps. "Shane Begley did a fantastic job writing this song and I think so many people out there will appreciate the meaning behind it. Not only does it convey a beautiful, tear-jerking story, but it also expresses our gratitude for all truck drivers out there. Some family members of mine were truck drivers and I appreciate their hard work as well as all of the truckers working all over today. I mean after all, without truck drivers, the world would not go ‘round. I can’t wait to see what everyone thinks of this song!” 

Phipps was recently surprised at The Southern Women in Film & Television Summit’s Women of True Grit Faith and Film Breakfast with the first ever “Rising Star” award, presented by author, Edie Hand just after her performance of her single “You Bring The Beer (I’ll Bring The Noise).”

“This was a wonderful surprise to receive the first-ever “Rising Star” Award from the ladies at SWIFT,” shares Phipps. “This has been such an incredible journey and to be acknowledged for my hard work is always humbling. I look forward to what God has planned for me next!”

Makenzie has been featured by Forbes, RFD-TV, Country Rebel, I Love Country Music, Classic Country Music, Addicted 2 Country Music, The Country Network, Center Stage Magazine, People.com, Newsmax, LifeMinuteTV, American Songwriter, Jesus Calling, and her single for “Life Gives You Love” was premiered by Taste Of Country. With a constant connection to her fans that is stronger than ever, Phipps continues to thrive on social media, releasing acoustic covers throughout the week.
