On Tuesday night (1\/10) from the stage of the Grand Ole Opry,\u00a0Charles Esten<\/strong>\u00a0announced and performed his brand-new single, “A Road and A Radio.” Besides his charity fundraising anthem “Light The Night”, it is the actor & singer-songwriter’s first new music since completing his Guinness World Record-breaking, 54-track #EverySingleFriday campaign in 2017.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Co-written with J.T. Harding, and produced with Bobby Hamrick, “A Road and A Radio” is a rocking country ode to the open road and the music that has long been its soundtrack. Charles performed it last night with the same group of Nashville musicians who he recorded it with in the studio. Fans can find the new single on all platforms next Friday (October 11th 2019<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Later this month, Charles returns to the UK for a headline tour which will finish up on October 27th at the Royal Albert Hall, the final show of this year’s Country Music Week in London. Following a sold-out run of acoustic shows earlier in the year, this time he’s excited to be bringing a full band with him for the first time, fronted by\u00a0Nashville<\/em>\u00a0musical director and guitarist, Colin Linden. Chart-climbing UK-based Country trio The Adelaides will return as his openers.<\/p>\n

On November 1st, Charles \u2014 the National Honorary Spokesman for the LLS (Leukemia & Lymphoma Society)’s Light The Night campaign \u2014 will host the inaugural “Writers & Lighters” event at\u00a0Analog at the Hutton in Nashville, TN, with all proceeds going to benefit LLS (tickets\u00a0here<\/a>). The intimate “songwriters in the round” will follow the Light The Night Walk at Nissan Stadium, with doors at 8:00pm that evening.<\/p>\n

Regarding his new single, Charles says, “The freedom and spirit-regenerating power of being on the open road with the person and the music you love isn’t just a piece of American mythology. It’s real. This song attempts to capture a little bit of that. It would be nice to think that maybe when somebody out there, in an attempt to get away from it all, decides to get ‘a song turned up’ and ‘a ragtop down,’ this just might be one of the songs they turn up.”<\/p>\n
