New Country Duo Preps For BMI Key West Songwriters Festival "Kick-Off Party," UK And Denmark Tour Dates Before Heading Out With Tim McGraw
Sometimes it "All Goes South,” but for Heartwreckers (Brock Butler and Ryan Garrett), nothing could be further from the truth — it’s simply the title of their song chosen by ESPN for its SEC Network’s college baseball season. The new country duo landed its first sync deal with the sports behemoth earlier this month and released its second-ever single, “Don’t Trust That Truck,” last week.
“Don’t Trust That Truck” is the second track off Heartwreckers’ upcoming EP, "Shut Up And Drink", a collection of five envelope-pushing country songs all written by Butler and Garrett, reflecting the unblinking lyrical and sonic approach the duo applies to country music. Produced by Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Austin Snell, Pecos & The Rooftops), Garrett describes the project’s sound as “Country. Ass. Rock. With the periods!”
“It's like the truck is possessed,” Garrett says of the new track, “and every time I get in it, it drives me straight to where I'm not supposed to go — her house.”
“Then she kicks me out,” says Butler, “and I'm miserable again. That’s the theme of that song. It’s a fun one.”
"Shut Up And Drink" is set for release on May 24, supported by a run of live show dates beginning May 1st, when the duo is featured on the 28th Annual Key West Songwriters Festival, Presented by BMI "Kick-Off Party," at Sunset Pier with Dylan Marlowe. Heartwreckers then heads to Denmark for nine dates on the Nashville Nights Spring Tour ‘24, then to the UK for the Buckles & Boots Music Fest, before returning stateside to join Tim McGraw on his Standing Room Only summer arena tour with special guest Carly Pearce.
