Ilse DeLange, frontwoman of The Common Linnets, has shared a video of her debut in the American series Nahville.

Ilse DeLange plays the role of Ilse de Witt, a coach in a talent show. The Dutch singer is very proud of her first major acting venture, no less in a popular show such as Nashville on CMT, in the United States.

She shared a video of her debut on Facebook:

It’s 4.30 am here in Nashville… so, proper Jetlag time to be awake:) just saw this post of Nashville on CMT and wanted to share it…. it is still kind of surreal that I’m a part of this great show. A show that’s about the music scene in Nashville, the place where my career started all these years ago. It’s a full circle kinda thing for me… feeling very thankful that I get to live this dream. Always still feeling like I’m at the beginning of new adventures is a great way to live. Thank you Callie Khouri for this amazing opportunity.

Another Linnet on the show

Alongside Ilse DeLange, fellow Common Linnet Jake Etheridge playes a major recurring role as Sean, a veteran with a passion for music who also suffers form PTSD:
