Golden Guitar-winning country music star Jayne Denham has been hit with a devastating social media hack less than a month out from releasing her new album, Moonshine.
Taking to Facebook on Saturday (6 April), Denham addressed followers by telling them that when they land on her page, they’ll likely see many missing posts.
“Long story short is, we got scammed by a scam artist who posed as a big-name podcaster who was meant to be interviewing me for a podcast,” she explained in a video statement.
Denham’s Facebook account was hacked, and six months of posts disappeared. Luckily, Denham got her Facebook page back, but she’ll have to start again—a harsh blow when her album is coming out so soon.
“I’m just quite devastated because all the links and everything to the album stuff, all the touring dates and ticket sales [are] now gone,” Denham continued, but there’s an easy way for you to help.
“When we start to post again, if you could engage in those posts, it would really help us get the algorithms back up and people getting the information we need to get out,” she said.

Jayne Denham will release her new album, Moonshine, on Friday, 3 May.
With special guests Colt Ford and Hurricane Fall, a stunning list of co-writers, including Brandy Clark, Miranda Lambert, Shane McAnally, and Jon Randall, and production from Brian White and Brian Bunn, Denham has prepared an all-star release of country-rock outlaw tunes.
“Moonshine is the next evolution in my series of era-inspired albums,” Denham commented in a press release. “While Wanted paid homage to the rugged, horseback days of old spaghetti westerns, this new record delves into the gritty, rebellious spirit of the prohibition era. Imagine mixing up a big pot of outlaw tales from the hills seasoned with country rock.
“It’s about capturing the essence of a time when moonshiners ruled the backwoods and fast cars roared through the countryside. I wanted to infuse this album with that untamed energy and transport listeners to a world where the spirit of rebellion runs deep, and the music hits hard.”
She continued, “These stories remain wild and outlaw with a contemporary twist. I thoroughly enjoyed curating songs that perfectly complement the narrative of this album. From the badass anthems to the moments of pure fun, party vibes, and heart-wrenching ballads.”
