Nashville, the inspirational home to multi-PLATINUM duo The Reklaws, sparks their latest release “Honky Tonkin’ About” featuring international breakout artist Drake Milligan. The new track showcases their southern country roots, offering a lively party anthem that traditional country music fans will love.
Jenna Walker of The Reklaws shares, “Honky Tonkin’ About’ feels a little more western than what you might be used to from The Reklaws, which is why we called in Drake to help out on this one. We’re so excited to have him bring his authentic Texas spirit to what we hope will be this summer’s biggest party anthem.”
The track, co-written by The Reklaws’ Stuart Walker, Blake Redferrin, Thomas “Tawgs” Salter, and Callum Maudsley, emerged as the group envisioned returning to bars and stages during the pandemic lockdowns. “We were trying to pull ourselves out of a funk one day during the pandemic, so we sat down and thought about what we would want to party to at a honky tonk on a Friday night with our friends. From those daydreams, this song was born,” shared Stuart Walker.
Drake Milligan expressed his honor to be featured with The Reklaws, stating, “They are so much fun to work with.”
The music video for “Honky Tonkin’ About” will premiere next month, offering a western-inspired journey into an 1800s honky tonk in America. The video stars Christopher McDonald, Robert Knepper, and Mary-Louise Parker and was filmed on the set of The Grey House in Romania with an Oscar award-winning team.
The Reklaws, fresh off performances at Country Thunder Wisconsin and Cavendish Beach Music Festival, will hit more stages across North America this summer. With their upcoming hosting gig at the 2023 CCMA Awards and multiple nominations, including Fans’ Choice and Album of the Year, the duo is set to make a lasting impression on the Canadian country music scene.
Fans can catch The Reklaws at Country Thunder Florida, Rock The River, Gone Country, Rock the Park, Riverfest Elora, and back-to-back nights at Jackson Triggs Estate Winery.
