Country singer shines light on the sacrifices of chasing dreams
Kentucky-born songsmith Tyler Booth has shared “Bring On The Neon” via Sony Music Nashville. The track was penned by Booth along with Jamey Johnson and Jeremy Popoff, known from the band Lit (โMy Own Worst Enemyโ). Booth met Popoff after he was sitting in the audience one day while Booth was performing at Fox & Locke in Leiperโs Fork, TN. Popoff decided to introduce Booth to his good friend, Jamey Johnson, who also happens to be one of Boothโs biggest inspirations. Shortly after, the three came together and wrote โBring On The Neon.โ
“Itโs sort of a full circle song for me because itโs about chasing your dreams,” Booth shares of the track. “Growing up, Jamey probably influenced me more than anyone. Listening to his music took me down the path of Waylon, Willie, Cash, Hank, etc., so writing with Jamey and getting to know him and Popoff really is a dream come true.”
He continues, “‘Bring On The Neon’ is a story about how hard the road is out here and it sure takes its toll on ya, especially your personal relationships. Itโs about when one chapter ends, a new one begins, and the sacrifices we make chasing our dreams. Personally, this thing sure hasnโt been overnight for me. Iโve been busting my tail out here. Writing this one with Jamey and Popoff and getting to put it out is a reminder that hard work pays off. I look forward to hearing what people think about the song and what it means to them.”
“Tyler Booth has the kind of voice that resonates country music and feeds the soul,” Johnson adds. “He is an instrument custom crafted for that purpose. As a songwriter he is as astute and percipient as he is humble; a real working manโs torch bearer.”
“Bring On The Neon” follows Boothโs latest track, “Real Real Country,” which he debuted earlier this year. Recently, Booth shared stages with acts such as Darius Rucker, Jon Pardi, and Brooks & Dunn, and he is currently out on his headlining Real Real Country Tour as well as select dates with Cody Johnson.
