TNB – What’s the best classic country song of all time? (Why)Įaston – “I’d probably have to say Merle Haggard’s song “The Day I Started Loving You” because I’ve always loved the emotional country songs that tear you apart. In fact, I probably got to spend more time with them during that facetime call than I would when we have meet and greets on the road. A few weeks back, I did a virtual meet and greet that benefitted several charities in Nashville and got the chance to facetime with 10 of my biggest fans and it showed me that it is possible to connect with them during this time. Now, you’re having to get creative and find new ways to connect with fans. Typically, you release music and immediately try to hit the road to play it for fans. TNB – What has it been like promoting this project during covid? Any interesting opportunities come up that might not of otherwise?Įaston – It’s been different for sure. I’ve really tried to always marry the two styles to form my own unique sound. Does the style mean something different today than when you were starting out?Įaston – I think a major part of it is always trying to stay relevant and that means trying to keep one foot in the traditional country space and another in the modern style as trends change over time and you’ve got to learn to adapt with that.
With that being said, it feels like especially during quarantine, people are back listening to classic country. TNB – You have always stayed true to a classic country sound, and have ridden the wave with many different trends in the genre. I’ve now got a large list of songs that I wanted to be on the project and this is just the beginning.” So I’ve really taken the past few years to spend time out on the road with fans and focus on my writing. What made this the right moment to put something out? Was there something you were inspired to say or get across?Įaston – I once heard that you get your entire life to write your first record… you don’t get to do that often.
