Acoustic ‘Hangar Session’ Live Performance Available Now

NASHVILLE, TN – Leaving another triumphant mark on the country music scene, the Josh Abbott Band has added a new accolade to their storied career with the Gold certification of their hit single “Settle Me Down,” by the RIAA. Watch the debut of its acoustic Hangar Session here.

Reflecting on this milestone, Josh Abbott remarked, “This is our third gold single, yet this one means even more! To have this success 12 to 15 years into our journey is a true testament to maturing as a writer/artist/musician, building relationships with fans, touring, and utilizing streaming as an asset. I co-wrote this song along with friends of mine (Ryan Beaver and Josh Jenkins) that I’ve known since I first started my career. I wrote it with my wife and my faith as inspiration. I’m proud of my bandmates on this album as well as our producer and engineer and the magic we created that session out at Sonic Ranch in West Texas. Also honored to have Catie Offerman singing harmonies. It’s simply a phenomenal song that resonates with people and to have this success a decade and a half into touring as a band, it just truly means more.”

This latest achievement, representing more than 500,000 units sold in the U.S., adds another illustrious chapter to the band’s growing legacy. The success of “Settle Me Down” follows the band’s previous Gold-certified hits, “She’s Like Texas” and “Oh, Tonight” featuring Kacey Musgraves. With each independent release through their label, Pretty Damn Tough, Josh Abbott Band is redefining their place in the country music scene with each milestone.

In January, the Texas troubadours released their first full-length album, Somewhere Down the Road, while forming their new Nashville team with Make Wake Artists and Deep Roots Management. The 11-track project was met with widespread acclaim, with Whiskey Riff lauding the album, saying, “Josh Abbott continues to prove that his sound is timeless, reminding fans with each release why he has been a legendary force on the Lone Star circuit and beyond for well over a decade now.”

In the months following the album release, the band launched a nationwide tour performing their eclectic album to thousands of fans in new markets, including their debut performance at Stagecoach Festival. This fall, fans can look forward to a special hometown show in Lubbock, TX and a memorable night at Austin City Limits Live at The Moody Theater. Find a full list of tour dates below.
