Nashville-based singer Janelle Arthur talks first on-screen role in upcoming country drama 'Runnin' From My Roots'
Fast-rising country singer Janelle Arthur is all set to showcase her vocal chops on her first on-screen appearance in the forthcoming family-friendly drama 'Runnin' From My Roots'. Arthur stars in the lead role as country singer Faith Winters, who after a very public fall from grace, seeks refuge in her rural Texas hometown. Old feelings of affection are rekindled as drama ensues in Winters' life in the film that also features country stars Deana Carter and Neal McCoy, as well as Nia Sioux from Dance Moms, Janine Turner and Leigh-Allyn Baker.
Growing up in the small town of Oliver Springs, Tennessee, Janelle Arthur began singing in the heart of the Smoky Mountains when she was just eight years old. Arthur was also exposed to theater at a young age, being hired as a child performer for the Country Tonite Theater in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. She later returned to the theater stage as an adult performer and remained with the cast for another four years. After cutting her teeth in the local music scene and thousands of shows later, Janelle moved to Nashville to fulfill her childhood dream in 2010.
