Country Now Premieres the “Country/Rock Feel” Track With
“Electric guitar riffs and steady drumbeats that emphasize Porter’s soulful vocals”
Nashville, TN – With a sound draped in an organic fusion of country roots, classic rock, and bluesy soul, Peytan Porter is making the most of 2024 with the release of her latest track “Lemonade,” a song with a fresh twist on a classic phrase. Written by Porter, Ian Christian and Matt Willis, and tied together with a live-and-let-live theme, the song explores the concept of tapping into various vices to cope with the challenges of day-to-day life. The Georgia native infuses her refreshing silken country sound and warm vocals to the track, giving the small town narrative a contemporary spin. “Lemonade” comes as the third song from Porter’s upcoming 2024 project available to listen to here.
“This is a song I’ve had in my pocket for a little while now, and it’s one that really taps into the music I love to listen to and create,” said Porter. “I’m so excited to finally release it – it got a lot of love on the road last summer. I can’t wait to share the rest of what I have in store for y’all this year!”
Produced by Greg Bates, “Lemonade” first premiered with Country Now, with the outlet praising how “Porter hones in the need for compassion while celebrating the fact that life doesn’t need to be taken so seriously all the time.” The release comes on the heels of a string of new tracks including Porter’s “Speaking of Georgia” that “will resonate with listeners everywhere as it rekindles the relationship a person has with the place where they were born and raised” (Music Mayhem). Porter also recently dropped “God’s Hotel” which drew comparisons to trailblazer Kacey Musgraves, with Taste of Country noting, “Musgraves hit a very narrow target that Porter often aims for. Yep, there’s more like it to come from this country newcomer.”
Named one of All Country News’ “Artists To Watch in 2024,” Porter is laying the groundwork for her imminent project and big plans for the coming year. The up-and-coming artist is set to perform in Gainesville, GA on January 19th with The Band Loula, with Ian Munsick (1/26 and 1/27), at Tortuga Music Festival (4/5), Gulf Coast Jam (5/30) and more.
In a world obsessed with choosing sides and validating preconceptions, Porter has separated herself from the pack. A self proclaimed small-town misfit from Dawsonville, GA, she’s breaking the molds of both polished commercial Country music and the rootsy-craft behind Americana, hooking listeners with vivid tunes that feel universal but raise interesting questions. Porter’s voice demands attention with an insightful stance as she signed her first deal in 2021 as a joint venture with Jody Williams Songs and Warner Chappell Music. Fresh off the heels of her acclaimed debut project IN MY HEAD earning 10 million streams across streaming platforms, Porter has also garnered a loyal and massive following in recent years, with 330k followers across all platforms and 50 million views on TikTok. The emerging artist has already earned a number of accolades including being a TikTok “Songwriter of the Year” Nominee at the 2022 iHeart Radio Awards and was named a CMT’s Next Up Now Artist. She has also served as direct support for Elle King and performed at CMA Fest in 2022 and 2023 and has opened for Willie Nelson, Jon Pardi, Larry Fleet, Brett Eldredge, Eli Young Band and more.
