Evan Bartels Set To Release New Album In May

April 11, 2025/by Lauryn Sink

Evan Bartels is set to release his upcoming record, To Make You Cry, on May 23 via UMG Nashville’s Lost Highway Records imprint.

Produced by Bartels, Rico, Csabai and Dave “Squirrel” Covell, the six-song project explores the sacrifices and spirituality of a working musician.

“I wanted these stories and songs to be very intimate, where it feels like you’re hearing something through a wall, or you’re seeing something through a window, and you perhaps shouldn’t be,” explains Bartels. “Also, I wanted it to feel expansive. I wanted it to sound like the West, which is often stark and intensely beautiful in a way that takes your breath away.”

The title track, written by Bartels, Bobby Tomberlin and Curt Gibbs, is available now.

2. “Lula” (Evan Bartels)
3. “Montana” (Evan Bartels)
4. “The Highway” (Evan Bartels)
