BoomTown Saints (Chris Ramos and Ben Chism) gained notice as one of a handful of artists featured in Billboard’s 2023 feature, “What’s New in the New Year,” and wowed fans from all over the world when they made their CMA Music Fest debut in June sharing their excitement in a pre-CMA Fest story on Grammy.com.
The self-titled EP takes listeners on a journey through a range of emotions and musical styles. “All Trucks Go To Heaven,” the first single, earned the “DisCovery Disc of the Day” from Music Row legend Bob Oermann who praised the song as “brilliantly accomplished” while the accompanying video won fans on Taste of Country and CMT.com. This powerful track introduced the world to Boomtown Saints’ infectious sound and set the stage for the EP’s release. The new single, “Blacktop Don’t,” captures the energy that defines the BoomTown Saints and is gaining momentum as it steadily climbs the country music charts currently sitting at #32 on the Music Row chart, #3 on the CDX True Indie Country Chart and #59 on the CDX Mainstream Country Chart.
Also featured on the new EP is a poignant ballad, “How To Lose A Lady,” co-written by the duo along with noted tunesmiths Adrienne and Keith Follese; “Dive Bar Heart,” a descriptive story of finding comfort in a familiar place, penned by Ashley Ray, Ryan Beaver and Benji Davis; and a stripped-down acoustic version of the emotional song, “All Trucks Go To Heaven,” written by Taylor Phillips, Ben Stennis and Jeremy Bussey.
“We’re so proud to release this EP and are having the time of our lives sharing these songs with our fans,” commented the duo’s Chris Ramos. “The past several years have been a whirlwind. We are thankful to radio and our entire team for supporting us and helping us realize our dreams.”
With their upbeat attitude, positive spirit and energetic live show BoomTown Saints are winning fans wherever they play. While out on the road touring this summer, Ramos and Chism have been making the rounds visiting radio stations while spending down time writing songs for their full-length project coming early next year.
