The Band Loula Offers Nostalgic Postcard From Home On New EP
Rising country duo The Band Loula will release their debut EP, Sweet Southern Summer, on Aug. 22 via Warner Music Nashville.
The project, which spotlights the duo’s powerful storytelling and swampgrass sound, was produced by John Osborne and Greg Bieck. The six-song collection includes previously-released songs “Can’t Please ‘Em All” and “Running Off The Angels,” and the title track is out today.
“Our new song ‘Sweet Southern Summer’ is a postcard from the things that raised us in North Georgia…dirt roads, rocking chairs, honeysuckle off the vine, and growing up on Lula Road,” says the duo’s Logan Simmons and Malachi Mills. “It bottles up the kind of front-porch summer that never really leaves you, no matter how much time passes. This track sets the tone for our upcoming EP, which is a patchwork of stories that encompass who we are.”
The Band Loula is currently on the road with Dierks Bentley and Zach Top as part of Bentley’s extensive “Broken Branches Tour,” and will perform at the Watershed Festival at The Gorge Amphitheatre in Quincy, WA on Aug. 3 as well.
