Song is third from forthcoming album

Five-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan releases a new song “Southern and Slow” across all digital platforms via UMG Nashville. “Southern and Slow,” the third song off a forthcoming album, was written by Matt Dragstrem, Josh Thompson and Chase McGill and co-produced by Jeff Stevens and Jody Stevens.

“‘Southern and Slow’ reflects on simple times,” Bryan states. “Those picture-perfect moments like the sun setting behind a water tower, honey dripping off a spoon, well, it doesn’t get much country’er than that. Let’s slow it down southern style because this life seems to be moving faster than ever.”

Bryans current radio single “But I Got A Beer In My Hand,” the follow up single to his 30th career No. 1 “Country On,” is climbing the charts.

Earlier this week, Bryan announced the final dates of his record-breaking Las Vegas headlining engagement at Resorts World Theatre which concludes its two year run in January 2024. Tomorrow night (Sat, Aug 12th), he brings his Country On Tour back home to Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

Bryan was recently forced to cancel shows in Boise, Salt Lake City and a headlining performance at Watershed Festival due to vocal issues. Bryan said he could “hardly even talk” and needed more time to heal.

Bryan will also headline the six city Farm Tour 2023 from September 14-23, raising money for farmers. The 14th annual trek is sponsored by Bayer.

Next spring, Bryan returns as a judge for ABC’s seventh season of American Idol, alongside Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. Veteran host Ryan Seacrest also returns to help discover America’s next singing sensation for the show’s 22nd season overall airing in spring 2024.
