Maddox Batson released the deluxe edition of his EP, First Dance (The After Party), on Friday (May 2) via Prosper Entertainment/Warner Records. It includes three new songs: “I Need A Truck,” “Somewhere South” and “2 Feet.”

“Last week at Stagecoach, Jelly Roll gave me some great advice. He said, ‘the next time you walk on stage, just walk slow and take it all in,’” shares the 15-year-old country singer-songwriter. “It’s been a whirlwind, and I’m so grateful to all the fans who take the time to listen to these songs, learn all the words and share them. Hearing you sing them back when they aren’t even out yet is beyond incredible, and I promise you, I am taking it all in with y’all!”

The deluxe EP follows Batson’s announcement of the “I Need A Truck Tour“, which kicks off on Sept. 7 in Richmond, Virginia and features 29 dates across the United States. After making his Grand Ole Opry debut in March and appearing at Stagecoach Music Festival in April, Batson will join Lainey Wilson’s “Whirlwind Tour” for select dates in September and October.
