MUMBAI: Rising country music star Laine Hardy released his brand-new song “Tiny Town” today, July 10. Both a studio version and a stripped-down acoustic track are available at https://smarturl.it/LHTinyTown. The “Tiny Town” acoustic music video is set to go live on July 17. Written by Michael Tyler and produced by Michael Knox (Jason Aldean, Thomas Rhett), the down-to-earth lyric rings with humble honesty coming from the Livingston, Louisiana (pop. 2,000) native.

YEAH THAT’S LIVING, LIVING IN A TINY TOWN

9 TO 5 AND FRIDAY NIGHTS WEARING MAIN STREET DOWN

YEAH JUST LIVING, LIVING IN A TINY TOWN

HARDWOOD FLOORS AND LIQUOR STORES LETTERS BURNING OUT

WHAT I WOULDN’T GIVE RIGHT ABOUT NOW

ONE OF THESE DAY I’LL ROLL ON OUT

HOME TO MY TINY TOWN

The new music is a welcome bit of good news, as the singer announced a Covid-19 diagnosis last month. The 19-year old is thankful for what has been a mild case and successful recovery.

“What a crazy summer. I am lucky to be feeling better and want everyone to stay safe and healthy out there. It is more important now than ever for younger people to step up,” says Laine. “Thanks for all the well wishes from my own hometown community and beyond. I’m grateful to still be able to get music out over the summer and hope you guys enjoy ‘Tiny Town.’”

Laine plans to continue his virtual tour with a second leg this summer. Tickets and information for last season’s winner of ABC’s American Idol upcoming digital dates are available now at https://lainehardy.bubbleup.live/.

The virtual performances follow a highly successful online tour, garnering over 2 million views spanning April and May around the launch of two brand-new songs. Music Row proclaims “(Laine) brims with sincerity on this love letter to his hometown” on “Ground I Grew Up On,” while “feel-good anthem” (Sounds Like Nashville) “Let There Be Country” dials up the fun. Both tracks, a definitive nod to Laine’s deep Louisiana roots, are now available on all streaming platforms via Hollywood Records/Industrial Media’s 19 Recordings. Newly released acoustic versions of the tracks, also produced by Michael Knox along with brand new videos, are available now at https://smarturl.it/GIGUOAcoustic/Vevo
