Tyler Farr Releases New Single “Our Town” To Country Radio

Tyler Farr is set to return to country radio on Monday, September 26, with brand new single, “Our Town.” Written by Liz Rose, Nathan Chapman and Arista Nashville singer/songwriter Seth Ennis, “Our Town” serves as the first release from his forthcoming studio album that is anticipated for release early 2017.

“It’s been an interesting year for me with having to take time off after my micro-laryngeal surgery, but taking that time not only was a huge benefit for my voice, it was a benefit to my spirit. I had time to think, actually sit down and watch the news and see what is happening out there,” says Farr.

He adds “I saw that the world today isn’t the same one that I remember from my youth, back before I left my own home town, and it got me thinking. Man, there’s a lot of anger, hate and straight up disrespect for others that seems to show no end. That doesn’t sit well with me. Where did faith, hope and love go? In my town I see constant reminders of how life used to be, and I miss that. It’s not all bad, I still do see some good things happening and I hope with “Our Town” my fans can take a second and share that feeling and conviction with me, because buddy it’s strong.”

“Our Town” is available on digital music outlets now. Grab your copy on iTunes, and be sure to request Farr’s new single at your local country radio station.
