In the vibrant world of country music, Trae Myers is rapidly making waves with his latest single, “On a Boat,” a track that beckons listeners to the carefree spirit of summer days spent on the water. This rising country music star has not only graced the industry with his fresh single but also an EP, “Nashville Sessions Vol. 1,” signaling a promising trajectory in his musical journey.
Produced by the talented duo Matty Monk and three-time Grammy winner Zach Allen, “Nashville Sessions Vol. 1” encapsulates a nostalgic 90’s feel. It showcases a collection of well-crafted songs like “Back to My Boots,” “Angel on My Shoulder,” and “End of the Day,” penned by Kyle Level, David Banning, and William Lee Martin. The EP boasts contributions from renowned musicians such as Jimmy Carter, Lynn Williams, Joel Keyes, and Justin Ostrander, adding layers of depth and authenticity to the tracks.
The centerpiece of Myers’ recent work, “On a Boat,” is a high-energy anthem celebrating lake and beach life, encapsulating the essence of sun-drenched, wind-in-your-hair freedom. This track was conceived in a burst of post-performance inspiration at 3 am in Trae’s basement, alongside his bandmates Jake Hollen, Tony Morick, and Colin Langdon. The result is an anthem that resonates with anyone who’s ever enjoyed the bliss of a day on the water.
Having carved a niche for himself in 2023, Trae now eyes a more strategic approach to his performances. He has shared stages with notable artists like Chase Rice, Kip Moore, Nate Smith, and Jameson Rodgers. His focus is now pivoting towards national stages, tours, and country music festivals, with Flannagans Dublin, Straub Productions, Reagans Productions, and 92.3 WCOL playing pivotal roles in his ascension to these larger platforms.
Despite his current residence in Columbus, OH, Myers is deeply intertwined with Nashville, TN, the heartland of country music. He spends a significant portion of each month in Nashville, immersed in networking and writing, and is even considering relocating his family there. This shift towards Nashville signifies his commitment to growing and evolving within the rich tapestry of country music.
Looking ahead to 2024, Myers plans to reduce his local presence in Columbus, OH, aiming to transform his performances into anticipated, exclusive events rather than regular shows. Yet, he remains committed to his Columbus fans, with plans for a headline show by year-end.
The creative fervor continues as Trae and his team, including producer/engineer Justin Wantz and co-writer/co-producer Ryan Robinette, have begun recording a new album in Nashville. This project brims with excitement and innovation, with plans to release singles at every opportunity.
