New track available now
LANCO continues to move forward while nostalgically reminiscing on the past with the release of “First Beer” via Arista Nashville. Written by frontman Brandon Lancaster, drummer Tripp Howell and The Cadillac Three’s Jaren Johntson, the new song’s timeless yet in-the-moment lyrics look back on life’s most intoxicating moments, underscored by a sweeping signature LANCO melody. “First Beer” is now available at all digital retailers.
“There are some memories in life where you don’t remember every detail but one vivid experience that stuck with all of us was our first drink and the people we were with,” Brandon Lancaster shares. “It’s a universal song thats going to be fun to get back on the road and play for our fans. They might not remember the beer but they will take away an experience which is the entire sentiment of the song.”
“I love that this song turns into a conversation piece after listening and it gives people the chance to reminisce on their own story,” drummer Tripp Howell adds. “That’s how this song started to quickly come together….when we are on the road and someone spills a drink the running tag line is ‘I remember my first beer’… and we just went off our own memories and the song started to write itself.”
The new track follows the root-frontier explorers just released “Near Mrs.,” which made its television premiere on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last month. With the new music, LANCO’s “welcome return” (Billboard) leads with the notion that the past has made us who we are through clever lyrical storytelling. The evolution of LANCO’s songwriting has “the band looking at life from a whole new vantage point” (American Songwriter) as they continue to create and pull together the heart of country, the classic-rock soul and the rhythmic forward momentum of modern pop, all in anticipation for the day they return to the stage.
