Southerland “Boots Up” For Its Debut EP

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – River House Artists / Sony Music Nashville duo Southerland releases its debut EP, Boot Up, today, Friday, May 28, 2021. The seven song EP showcases Southerland’s innate ability to mix timeless country harmonies over modern production from Greg Bates, showcasing the true duo’s nostalgic, yet current, sound. Forbes has tapped Southerland as “a new duo taking country music back to its roots” while Rolling Stone notes Southerland continues to usher in a “traditional country revival.”

“We could not be more proud of the seven songs on this EP. When then pandemic hit, we took the opportunity to write and record music that truly tells the story of who we are as a duo,” shares Southerland. “These songs are such an authentic picture into who we are and the kind of music that influenced us.”

In tandem with their debut EP, Southerland releases a music video for the title track “Boot Up,” available everywhere today. The video highlights the working class – secretaries, military personnel, farmers, bartenders and construction workers- “booting up” for their daily shift. In case you missed it, yesterday the duo premiered a full-band performance of the entire seven song EP via livestream on Facebook, straight from The Nashville Palace.

This summer, the duo comprised of Matt Chase and Chris Rogers, have opened shows for Mitchell Tenpenny and Jon Langston and will join Michael Ray in June. More dates will be announced soon, bringing their all-new music to fans throughout the country. The singer/songwriters have shared the stage with Luke Combs, Lauren Alaina, Eli Young Band, Brantley Gilbert, Montgomery Gentry, Craig Morgan, Darius Rucker, Morgan Wallen and many more.
