“Heartbeat Higher”
Nashville – Eric Paslay, who wrapped the last decade with the #1 song on Country Aircheck’s decade chart with his penned hit “Barefoot Blue Jean Night” for Jake Owen, will debut a new song and music video this Friday, May 8 with the release of “Heartbeat Higher.” The song, written by Eric, Zach Crowell and Sarah Buxton, and features Sarah, is the first of more material anticipated through this summer by the Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter. The music video was shot by director Timothy Hiele in Stockholm, Sweden during Eric’s “Nice Guy Tour” late last year.
“‘Heartbeat Higher’ has been around the block with me a time or two,” shares Eric. “Some fans have even seen me perform it live. I’ve loved it since the day we wrote it a few years ago and I always knew I’d release it. Now feels like the perfect moment for this song and sharing this with my friend and cowriter Sarah Buxton is a dream realized.”
Eric performed a sneak peak of “Heartbeat Higher” and some of his hits, during American Songwriter’s Facebook Live series “Behind The Mic” last Friday. Tomorrow night, Eric will take part in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s weekly “Songwriter Sessions” on Instagram at 8pm CDT where fans can pose questions. The series is hosted by Abi Tapia, the museum’s director of public programs.
This summer, Eric will tour the U.S. around the release of his new music and will join The Shires tour in the United Kingdom launching on October 21 in Bedford, UK.
