RICHARD TYLER EPPERSON
—EMERGING SINGER-SONGWRITER—
RELEASES LEAD SINGLE
“BEAUTIFUL DAY”

FROM FORTHCOMING EP
ANOTHER DAY
OUT OCTOBER 15

NASHVILLE, TN (August 20, 2021) — After a seven year hiatus from music, Salt Lake City-based singer-songwriter Richard Tyler Epperson will release “Beautiful Day,” the lead single from his forthcoming EP, Another Day. The new song — which Epperson wrote to help promote a positive mindset — arrives alongside an animated lyric video.

“I wanted it to be a positive song for people stuck in a dark place. The song is me telling them I understand and letting them know they’re not alone,” explains Epperson. “Really just trying to get them out and help them see some beauty in the day, no matter how dark it might feel.”

“Beautiful Day” marks the promising introduction to Epperson’s forthcoming seven-track Another Day EP which is set for an October 15 release. The singer-songwriter acknowledges that a gradual ascent is bittersweet at times, but the rewards of fortitude are fruitful. It’s been seven years since Epperson’s last project, 2014’s Hourglass and the previous Falling Between The Stars from 2013. Epperson embraces the ups and downs of the creative process as he continues to climb his artistic mountain nearing the arrival of Another Day. The hiatus provided Epperson with inspiration in the forms of family and fatherhood, which added more colors to his artistic pallet. 

Epperson leans into his inner singer-songwriter with Another Day opener, “When I Build My World.” Placing a spin on the love ballad, his smooth vocals sing of the beginning of two lives coming together. “I think it’s a grow-with-me type of love song. There’ll be good and bad things in life and you just need a good foundation to keep you strong,” says Epperson. Switching styles, the versatile musician experimented with a digital audio workstation (DAW) to produce “Tonight (Wicked Lies).” The resulting track is a standout with dynamic percussion and electronic elements showcasing Epperson’s ability to musically stretch out into new sonic territories. The album’s title track, “Another Day,” riffs together a symphonic undertone with Epperson displaying guitar work reminiscent of U2’s The Edge. 

Continuing the theme of pushing through hard times, Epperson’s “What Should I Do” emanates the chaos and confusion the world is facing, and he delivers it in a relatable singer-songwriter package. Another Day’s closer, “Beautiful Day, calms that chaos by providing relatable lyrics and an optimistic message to focus on the beauty.
