New York, NY (Top40 Charts) JUNO and CCMA Award-winning band, The Washboard Union, will unleash their highly-anticipated, brand new single "I Run On Country" on March 24, 2023 via all streaming platforms.
Recorded in Brentwood, TN, with producer Matt McClure (Lee Brice), the new anthemic song signals the first taste of the next chapter for the band. "I Run on Country" delivers an undeniable 'sing your heart out' melody and is borne directly out of their love of country music and country life.
"I Run On Country" is The Washboard Union's first new track in over a year since the release of the group's award-winning album Everbound in 2020, which earned two Gold-certified singles for "Country Thunder" and "Dock Rock'', a SOCAN Country
Music Award for "Country Thunder" and two CCMA Awards for Group of the Year and
Roots Album of the Year.
"I Run On Country is a love song and tribute to the music that has fueled us every single day, and we hope our fans feel that same energy and excitement," said Chris "Dunner" Duncombe from The Washboard Union. "We're so excited to share this new music, and this is just the beginning of what we have in store for our fans in 2023."
