Nashville-based country music artist Shelby Lee Lowe is set to make waves in the country music scene with his latest single, 'Honky Tonkaholic,' dropping on January 31st, 2025. Written by Chris Stapleton and Brett Beavers, the track represents a powerful fusion of traditional and contemporary country music styles.
The single follows Lowe's successful fall release 'You Just Missed Me' and showcases his unique approach to country music. Described as a high-energy, boot-scootin' anthem, 'Honky Tonkaholic' features epic guitar riffs, thumping bass, and classic fiddle and steel elements that pay homage to country music legends like Hank Williams Jr. and Waylon Jennings.
Lowe, a Tennessee native with a music business degree from Middle Tennessee State University, has been carving out a distinctive space in the country music landscape. His musical style blends neo-traditional country, Bakersfield grit, and indie rock influences, creating a sound that appeals to both traditional country enthusiasts and younger audiences.
Recorded at Amber Sound Studio by Ryan Youman and produced by Andrew Scott Wills, 'Honky Tonkaholic' is positioned as a potential Country Music Song of the Year. The track represents Lowe's commitment to maintaining the authentic spirit of country music while introducing innovative elements that resonate with contemporary listeners.
Since signing his first publishing deal with Banner Music in Nashville in 2016, Lowe has established himself as a full-time songwriter and performer. His approach to music emphasizes storytelling and emotional depth, drawing inspiration from country music icons like Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings.
As 'Honky Tonkaholic' prepares to hit music platforms, it signals Lowe's continued evolution as an artist committed to pushing the boundaries of country music while respecting its rich traditional roots.
