Burnout and touring fatigue

Ella LangleyAmerican country singer-songwriter from Hope Hull, Alabama

• Langley says she toured almost continuously from 2022 to 2025, mostly in a van and later a crowded bus.

  “we toured pretty much minus a couple weeks here and there from 2022 to 2025, you know. And I mean, hot and heavy. Most of that was in a van”

• Langley says the mental side of the music career, rather than the performing, has been the hardest part for her.

  “I think the mental game for me is definitely... the hardest part of this job. Like, I can do the gigs. I can do the shows”

• Langley says she is her own toughest critic and rarely feels she performed well after a show.

  “I'm definitely my toughest critic. You know, like when I watch something, I'm never like, oh yeah, I crushed that”
