Rising country singer honors fiancé in advance of upcoming wedding
Mercury Nashville recording artist Travis Denning has released two new songs, celebrating his fiancé just weeks ahead of his upcoming wedding. The songs are a surprise to his future wife, Madison Montgomery. “Second Best Thing,” was written by Denning, Nathan Spicer and Scooter Carusoe and “New Year’s Kiss,” which is a peek into their relationship, was written by Denning, Shane McAnally and Nathan Spicer. Both tracks were produced by Jeremy Stover and Paul DiGiovanni.
The pair of songs were written a while ago, but Denning saved them to put out at the right moment. He thought they would be a great pre-wedding surprise for Madison, who will hear them today, along with fans, for the first time.
“I’m not necessarily the best gift giver, but I always like to think that I can express the way I feel best when I write,” said Denning. “That’s definitely the case with me and Madison and our relationship, and my love for her. These songs felt like a nice gift that I wanted to give to her and show Madison and the world how much she means to me. She does not know these are coming out today, so I’m hoping that she really enjoys the surprise. Madison is pretty smart though, so I wouldn’t be surprised if she, is onto me!”
A native of Warner Robins, Georgia, singer/songwriter and Mercury Nashville recording artist Travis Denning first made waves with the release of his Top 40 debut single “David Ashley Parker From Powder Springs,” which has been certified Gold by the RIAA. He celebrated his first No.1 and Platinum certified single “After A Few,” from Denning’s debut EP Beer’s Better Cold, which debuted in the Top 20 of Billboard’s Country Albums chart. Last summer Denning released the EP, Might As Well Be Me. Crafted for the stage with all of Denning’s hard-charging energy and mischief-making signatures intact, the collection also captures an artist maturing. His most recent track released, “Buy A Girl A Drink,” is a candlelit confession that features Denning’s tender lyricism and marks the most first-week streams of Denning’s songs to date. Denning’s songwriting extends to other artists – he has co-written for Morgan Wallen, Michael Ray, Chase Rice, Jason Aldean and Justin Moore. Denning has previously headlined his own Heartbeat Of A Small Town Tour, toured with Brother’s Osborne, Cole Swindell, Dustin Lynch, Alan Jackson, Riley Green, Dierks Bentley and Jake Owen and he is currently out on the road headlining and playing festivals throughout the summer. With almost 720 million streams worldwide, Denning has been spotlighted for his head-turning sound and is making his mark within the industry, being previously selected as one of CRS New Faces, an Opry NextStage recipient and a CMA KixStart Artist. Denning is in the studio recording his next project.
