NASHVILLE, Tenn. – New country duo, War Hippies, released their long awaited self-titled album today! Comprised of combat veterans and musicians, Scooter Brown and Donnie Reis, War Hippies are no newcomers to the music scene with a combined history of over 20 million streams and counting, 26 Billboard Top 10’s, and 25 years of touring around the world.

Featuring eight original songs plus four carefully selected covers, the album follows the storyline of their past as USMC and US Army Combat veterans. In the focus track “Make It Out Live,” the pair touch on the heartbreaking growing veteran suicide rate. Reis and Brown are no strangers to loss and their authentic, deeply-personal lyrics help encourage those dealing with these struggles to keep pushing on and live each day for what they are given. “The Hangman” has garnered thousands of streams since its release and this album is highly anticipated by the loyal fanbase they’ve built organically touring the country.
“We couldn’t be more excited to join forces and start this next chapter of music in our careers. This project is 100% us and we couldn’t be more proud of the music we are creating with War Hippies,” says the pair.
“I hope this record has a positive impact and makes a difference, provides hope and inspiration and is a breath of fresh air for country music and the world at this moment in history,” adds Donnie Reis.
Along with the physical CD version of the album, fans have the option to pre-order a limited edition Vinyl containing exclusive versions of “American Son,” “Make It Out Alive,” and “Warrior’s Farewell.” In conjunction with the album release, War Hippies are currently on the U.S. Cant Miss Tour with Travis Tritt and Chris Janson:
