Rising artist Mo Pitney and his wife Emily are celebrating the birth of their first daughter.
The 23-year-old country singer shared the first photo of their newborn via his Instagram page. Little Evelyne Nadine Pitney was born a day early, which apparently led to some chaos before her arrival.

Last October, Pitney released his debut album, Behind This Guitar, which earned high acclaim from fans and critics alike. His traditionally-inspired sound has gained a strong fanbase and a budding relationship with the Grand Ole Opry.

Mo and Emily were married on March 5, 2016 in a private ceremony in Emily's hometown of Carbondale, Ill. Although Mo has seen a lot of success with his debut album, he's taking time off the road to stay close to his family over the next few months.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
