The 5 Best Moments From Ella Langley’s Intimate Show at Denver’s Grizzly Rose
The "Choosin' Texas" star played for 1,000 fans on Tuesday night (Oct. 6) as part of the SiriusXM Small Stage series.
Ella Langley’s concert at Denver’s Grizzly Rose on October 6th saw approximately 1,000 fans fill the venue. Despite the large crowd, Langley’s performance shone through, making the country singer’s 10-song show part of SiriusXM’s Small Stage Series feel more like a backyard gathering than a mass crowd. Dressed in black and strumming an acoustic guitar, the 27-year-old singer reminisced about her humble beginnings in Hope Hull, Alabama, and hinted at her fast-rising career.
She introduced her 2026 ballad, "Somethin' Simple," which speaks of missing her late mother, describing it as a song that details her rural roots. Langley’s deep, powerful voice delivered a regretful country-rocker, "Choosin’ Texas," about trying to retain a man in Tennessee who is more attracted to a woman in Texas. The song, which has spent 24 weeks on Billboard’s Hot 100, broke a longstanding Mariah Carey record.
Langley also shared her mental health struggles during her ascent to stardom, interspersing her speeches with various tracks from her 2026 album, Dandelion. She expressed her happiness at playing at the intimate Grizzly Rose, a venue that previously hosted Garth Brooks in early October, before heading to the larger Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
