Singer/songwriter Elvie Shane has released his latest single. “Does Heaven Have A Creek,” available today.

Written solo in the days before recording his imminent album "DAMASCUS", “Does Heaven Have A Creek” came from a question Shane once asked himself following the passing of his grandmother, about what really matters, and what comes next. His alluring vocals take you to church, with the heartland hymn serving as another reminder of how the Kentucky native "forces you to rethink anything you think you know, or assume, about the genre’s Music Row bros” (Stereogum).
“‘Does Heaven Have A Creek’ is simply the wondering mind of a believer,” said Shane. “A testimony of hope that Heaven has a few of the simple pleasures we enjoy here on earth. Is Heaven only for A-List Christians? Is there room for a prodigal ‘Good Ole Boy’ from Kentucky just trying to live a decent life and be a good man?”

 
The track comes as the sixth release from Shane’s sophomore album "DAMASCUS", releasing April 19th. Full of unflinching honesty rooted in compassionate clarity, each track steps into the shoes of another, with Shane taking pieces of each character he’s met on his path, melding them into one beautifully woven work. The album is available for pre-order/pre-save/pre-add HERE.

One of Nashville Scene’s “2024 Artists to Watch,” Shane has already garnered buzz for the project, with releases of “Baptized,” “Jonesin’” and “Forgotten Man,” with the latter dubbed “an ode to blue-collar workers that exposes the heart-aching realities of the working class,” (Billboard), and with his track “Pill,” critics praised its gripping honesty as it “further cements Shane as a new voice of the damaged, addicted, and lost in country music,” (Rolling Stone). Shane also recently released “What Do I Know,” along with a moving video to accompany the track featuring a cameo by John Carter Cash, available to watch HERE.

ELVIE SHANE TO RELEASE DEBUT EP "COUNTY ROADS" APRIL 23

“My Boy” Singer Shares Rollicking Title Track With Fans Today

BBR Music Group/Wheelhouse Records artist, Elvie Shane announces his debut EP, County Roads will be released April 23. Named as one of Pandora’s “Country Artists to Watch 2021” with just one song released, the “My Boy” singer adds a second song to his catalog today as he surprises fans with the title track of his six-song project and introduces listeners to signature Elvie Shane. Listen to “County Roads” HERE.

Thus far, the world has only gotten to know Elvie Shane's tender side through his debut (Top 30) single, “My Boy” but across County Roads, the muscle car-loving Kentuckian reveals his full vibrance. Having co-written each track, Elvie shares his high-energy, larger-than-life personality by drawing upon his own blue-collar existence as the son of a truck driver, resulting in an honest portrait of life in small town America. The at times nostalgic EP combines picture-based lyrics, grit, classic rock electric guitar, soulful vocals to make for a colorful and proper introduction to Elvie.

“The response to ‘My Boy’ has been incredible and I’m glad y’all got to see my sweet side but I want y’all to get to know all of me—from the roughest edges to the smoothest surfaces and this EP tells folks where I came from, what made me who I am and why I am the way I am,” said Elvie Shane “I’m a product of small town America and County Roads is the raw, honest truth about my life.”

“My Boy” is a tender ballad in which describes his unconditional love for his stepson and was the catalyst for Elvie’s career as an artist. A video of the song went viral in 2018, catching the attention of many, earning him a publishing deal and eventually his record deal with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Released in 2020, the song has gone viral once again as tear-jerking videos of children playing the song for their stepparents began trending on TikTok, catapulting the song to the No. 1 spot on the platform. Now with more than 26 million on-demand streams in the U.S. alone, the family-inspired single has become an anthem of love to blended and unconventional families, leading Elvie to release a reimagined sister version of the single to meet fan demand.

In contrast to the sentimental single, Elvie unleashes his wild spirit with today’s release of “County Roads.” The rollicking ode to his upbringing was selected as the title track because it embodies the energy and sound of Elvie, through Country storytelling and elements from some of his biggest influences (Steve Earle, John Fogerty and Roger Miller). Wanting to honor his roots in the song and in real life, Elvie enlisted the choir from his high school to contribute backing vocals on the song and filmed the visualizer in his homestate. Watch the video HERE.
