NASHVILLE (June 5, 2024) — Fresh of his recent rodeo with the American Idol stage this year and opening for acts like Randall King and Moe Pitney, Brody Rivers — a raw and authentic red dirt troubadour — has announced his new single, “Back to You,” will be released on Thursday, June 13.
Drawing a mix of inspiration from the legendary George Strait and modern acts such as Luke Combs and Cody Johnson, Brody Rivers infuses his music with energetic and heartfelt honesty. "Something I now live by is never doing something half-assed, and always being consistent,” declares the South Texas-based Rivers, who earlier this year released the five-song EP, Stepping Stones.
In a musical landscape where conformity often reigns supreme, Rivers' sound stands as a beacon of individuality, a testament to the power of authenticity in an industry often plagued by imitation. Born and raised amidst the sun-scorched plains of South Texas, Rivers' journey began amidst the whispering winds of the Rio Grande Valley where life can be analyzed by a series of decisions one makes; good or bad. The forthcoming single from Rivers, “Back to You,” pulls from those exact forks in the road that we all come to in life.
"With 'Back to You' I was figuring out how to do life again after leaving home, leaving family and closing off friendships," Rivers shares. "But more importantly, seeing if the people I left still had room for me back home." In this vulnerable track, Rivers lays bare his soul, expressing the longing to return to the embrace of loved ones. "It’s mostly directed to my mom. Back to her is being back home; feeling loved and carefree like a child again," he reveals. Brody Rivers’ lyrics have a way of resonating with anyone who has felt the tug of nostalgia and the ache of distance. Missing everything he left behind for a dream he couldn't achieve alone, Rivers pours his heart into every note, crafting a song that speaks to the universal yearning for belonging and connection.
As the echoes of his music reverberate across the heartland, one thing becomes abundantly clear: Brody Rivers is not just a country artist, he's an embodiment of the very spirit of the American South. Following his run on ABC’s American Idol in 2023, Rivers released his five-song debut EP, Stepping Stones, and earned early charting success with his songs “Calm Me Down” and “Buying my Way to Debt” on the Texas Country Music Charts and Texas Regional Radio Report.
Country music is ingrained in Brody Rivers’ soul, mind, and heart. Already sharing stages with acts such as Randall King, Moe Pitney and Huser Brother Band, Rivers' journey is just beginning.
