NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Sept. 16th, 2022) - Singer-songwriter Mike Ryan’s new single “Die Runnin’” is officially available today. The high-energy track and “kind of song you wish could go on forever” (Holler) will be included on Mike’s highly-anticipated new album Longcut, due out on Oct. 28th. Longcut ushers in an elevated sonic edge that signals growth for the artist and songwriter. Holler premiered the song ahead of release saying, “Die Runnin’ bursts into life like a wheel-spin on a gravel road before grinding down into gear and settling into a pulsing country groove.” Listen to “Die Runnin’” available everywhere today, here: https://lnk.to/DieRunnin-pre.
“Die Runnin’ has an urgency about it that’s really cool with this fun rock ‘n’ roll driving rhythm to it. There’s definitely some sonic growth on this new album coming, including this new single. We brought in a few new players and different elements that I thought were really crucial in making this album sound as good as it does,” said Mike.

THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS TOO FAR.
I’LL BE SHOWING UP ON THE DOUBLE.
FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE I’M COMING.
AND I’LL GET TO YOU.
