Summer anthem now available
With his Way Down Yonder Tour gracing sold out venues across the country and I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell already earning critical praise as one of the best early albums this year, Diamond-certified songwriter Chase Rice delivers summer anthem “Bad Day To Be A Cold Beer” to country radio with 43 first-week adds.
“One day at the Troubadour Golf Club here in Nashville, Justin Thomas walked up to me and said, ‘boys, it’s a bad day to be a cold beer,” Rice shares of the song’s unique origin. “He wasn’t wrong. Justin’s proclamation provided me a belly laugh – and writing (and consumption) motivation. Somehow, JT managed to win that round, but that day was the most fun I’ve ever had on the golf course and we have his one-liner to thank for this song.”
The song has seen a raucous response during Rice’s live show, including a recent sold out Pennsylvania stop. In addition to the new single, which credits Blake Pendergrass and John Byron as songwriters alongside Rice and Thomas, Rice has added all 13 songs on the recent album to his set list, earning a resounding response from fans.
Rice will continue headlining the Way Down Yonder Tour through July in addition to playing various festivals including Gulf Coast Jam, Country Stampede, Cheyenne Frontier Days, WE Fest and more, plus visiting arenas across the US with Old Dominion on the No Bad Vibes Tour later this year.
