Raleigh Keegan’s Full-Length Album Clocks Roll Forward Will Release On October 15

In honor of Clocks Roll Forward being available for pre-save today, Raleigh has released the last new track — “Sure Like Lovin’ You” — ahead of the upcoming album.  The track is co-written by Keegan with Leslie Satcher and Phil Barton and can be heard HERE.

“I have been waiting for this moment since late 2019 when I started this project,” shares Raleigh.  “I think it will help people truly get to know me from the stories woven into the songs on this album, and it’s exciting to me to be able to connect in that way.  Clocks Roll Forward is the album title because time moves so fast and this album has brought so many influences of my past to life through song.  That’s also a lyric from ‘Way Back’ that speaks to me personally.  This album is a full length introduction to my life and a segue to the projects ahead that are already underway.”

Honesty is front and center in Raleigh’s songwriting, pulling from his unconventional start in life – Raleigh’s birth mother was incarcerated on drug related charges at the time she gave birth to him.  He was adopted by a loving family at just a few days old.  He expresses gratitude for the brave decision his birth mother made to have him adopted to provide him a better life.  Raleigh was finally able to connect with his birth mother as a teenager, though sadly she passed away from cancer 2 years after they met.

As an independent artist, Raleigh has always been driven.  He sold his house in order to pay for his first EP and has pounded the pavement, booking over 150 shows per year on his own in the first 3 years of his career, including an opening slot for Keith Urban.  He has grown his loyal social media fan base to nearly 150k followers and has more than 200k monthly listeners across platforms.

Clocks Roll Forward includes “Drink For That,” which “pits the soulful vocals of Cincinnati native Keegan against a backdrop of brooding alt-rock guitar work” (Rolling Stone Country) as well as “Trainwreck,” “Jealous Of The Sun,”  “Easy on the Trigger,” “Handyman,” “Long Line of Lovers,”  “Another Good Day,”  and  “Way Back.” 

Among the new tracks and topics on the upcoming LP are the powerful “Our First Goodbye,” written about his birth mother; the push/pull of a toxic relationship in “I Love You;”  the raw and personal “Like My Daddy Was” about his biological father; and the driving “Tell Me Something I Don’t Know.”

Fans can catch Raleigh as he performs some of the new music and talks about the album from a boat at Old Hickory Lake with host Misty Wells on “Let’s Take It Outside,” premiering on Bally (Fox) Sports on September 17 at 4 p.m. ET, with re-airs on Saturday, September 18 at 11 a.m. ET and Tuesday, September 21 at 4 p.m. ET.Raleigh has accumulated over 7 million streams across his catalog to date, and has opened for artists such as Eric Church, Brothers Osborne, Florida Georgia Line, Thomas Rhett, Drake White, and Mitchell Tenpenny.  Raleigh has been featured in publications such as  People,  Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, Billboard, Music Row, Sounds Like Nashville,  Taste of Country, Holler and more.
