NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Sony Music Nashville / Villa 40 up-and-comer and Kentucky native Tyler Booth releases new song “87 Octane” today. Listen here. The crowd-favorite written by Ray Fulcher, Josh Thompson, and Jonathan Singleton follows last month’s debut of “In God and Trucks We Trust.” “‘87 Octane’ may be my favorite ‘feel good’ song that I’ve recorded to date,” says Booth. “It gives me that roll your windows down, let the wind blow in, and sing it loud feeling of a backroads country summertime. I hope that it gives other people that same kind of feeling.” Last night Booth celebrated the release with a livestream on his Facebook page (view here), where fans tuned in to hear him perform the new track among others. About Tyler Booth: Road warrior, songsmith, and proud Kentucky native Tyler Booth has been making a name for himself in country music since he first started playing festivals around his home state as a high schooler. Born and raised in Wolfe County, Kentucky, he grew up in a musical family, often sitting in on the rehearsals of his dad’s rock band. After enrolling in Morehead State University’s Traditional Music Studies program, he quickly caught the attention of one of his professors, Scott Miller, an old friend of songwriter Phil O’Donnell (George Strait, Craig Morgan). After Miller made the connection, O’Donnell invited Booth to Nashville, where the two cut his first EP, Self-Titled, released independently in 2017. Fast-forward two years, and the singer’s star is rising quickly — he is featured on legendary duo Brooks and Dunn’s country swing-style ballad, “Lost and Found” on their REBOOT album, amid his heavy touring schedule, and a short nine months later, he becomes the first artist signed to Sony Music Nashville and Villa 40’s joint-venture agreement. Now, armed with an Outlaw bent and four infectious debut tracks, “Long Comes A Girl,” “Where The Livin’ Is,” “Half A Mind To Go Crazy,” and “In God And Trucks We Trust,” Booth continues to build a career in country music, one fan at a time.
