Nashville, TN – Jeff Grossman, frontman and primary songwriter of the Texas country/rock band Saints Eleven released a statement today (3/27) saying he will give a free download of their new EP “This Town” to all their housebound fans via the band’s website. This offering is both in celebration of today being the EP’s release date, and also to provide some excellent new music for fans that are holed up at home during the current pandemic.
“With all the crazy stuff going on right now in the world, we’ve decided to give a free download to the new EP. People have enough to worry about right now and need to spend their hard earned money to care for their families. It’s just a very small token of our appreciation.” –Jeff Grossman
The EP can be downloaded by going to their website at www.saintseleven.com. While there, fans can also watch their new music video for the EP’s first single “Love In Hell” that was released earlier this week.
“This Town” is produced by Erik Herbst (Eli Young, Sam Riggs, Zane Williams) at Panhandle House in Denton, TX. It all starts with “My Home Is,” and Grossman decides to get real REAL right off the bat. This is one for the country side, an it-is-what-it-is look at a father watching his son grow up on the phone because the highway is his home. “Love In Hell” continues in the country vein with a direct shot to the bad bloodstream. It’s a long sad ride to nowhere when love dries up, and sometimes, in a strange way, it hurts less to continue that travel together. The bipolar aspect of Saints Eleven comes in loud and clear on the title-track. The perfect mood swing between country and rock has never been more palpable than in this finger in the air salute to old wounds. “The Crown” is where things get real personal for Grossman as he purges the anguish of a cancer diagnosis. The overall statement here echoes those words from that cherished comrade who says, “Yea, this sucks. Now let’s keep going.” “Let Us Be” rounds out the rock edges in a formidable reminder to “mind your own business.” The EP ends on a very tender note with “Song For Smiley.” Inspired by the untimely loss of a fellow Texas artist last year, Grossman understands all too well about poor decisions and mistakes made with catastrophic repercussions. He is definitely not a saint himself by any stretch, and, well, nobody is, but having compassion for our fellow lost souls does put into motion a saintly ripple effect.
Three potent album releases, twelve charted radio singles, a slew of virally intensive music videos, regular co-bills with many of the top artists in the scene, and most recently, taking home the 2019 Texas Country Music Association’s “Country Band of the Year” award, Saints Eleven stands tall in “This Town.”
