Marty Shirley Unveils New Album "Midnight Honey" – A Journey Through Heartache, Open Roads, and Honky-Tonks
Anderson, SC – Today, acclaimed singer-songwriter Marty Shirley releases his highly anticipated new album, "Midnight Honey", a soulful follow-up to his 2022 album, "The Trouble With The Truth". Known for his rich storytelling and authentic country sound, Shirley takes fans on a new journey through tales of open roads, cheap motels, love, regret, and the dusty fringes of the American South. Infused with traditional country roots and a hint of blues and country funk, "Midnight Honey" is available on all major streaming platforms starting today, October 11, 2024.
"I've always been inspired by the places and people that live on the edge of things," says Shirley. "Each song on this album is a story, a moment captured from those crossroads in life where people make mistakes, take chances, fall in love, and sometimes lose themselves."
Shirley, hailing from Anderson, SC, has earned a reputation for his evocative lyrics and unforgettable melodies. His original songs have been featured in the major motion picture "Elbow Grease", starring Burt Reynolds, and his song "The Actress" recently won Best Country Song at the Pensacola Beach Songwriters Festival. On "Midnight Honey," Shirley continues to hone his craft, adding depth and complexity to his narratives, wrapped in a musical style that marries traditional country with a soulful, bluesy edge.
The album was recorded at Fellowship Hall Sound in Little Rock, Arkansas, with renowned studio owner Jason Weinheimer on bass, and the talents of Jesse Aycock and Paddy Ryan—legends in the Tulsa music scene—on guitar and drums, respectively. Together, the trio creates a rich, dynamic sound that perfectly complements Shirley's vocals and songwriting.
Shirley will also be hitting the road for a series of tour dates in support of the album, bringing his music directly to fans and performing live renditions of new tracks, along with favorites from his previous work.
