It’s no secret that country music celebrates the simple things in life: those everyday American principles like hard work, self-reliance, and small-town community.
But some artists connect the dots better than others.
Singer-songwriter Rayne Johnson, for example, works as hard as anyone in the business (literally).
And from his home base in Ohio, he’s the very definition of an independent spirit.
An emerging star with all the momentum of a freight train, Johnson’s been pulling double duty his entire self-made career, chasing dreams while working full-time as a railroad technician.
But after the organic success of his hit single, “Front Seat,” a new track lies ahead.
That tenderhearted good-guy anthem has racked up over 100 million streams so far and landed on both the Mediabase and Billboard Country Airplay charts – making him one of the few independent artists in years to reach the Mediabase Top 40.
His self-titled EP and follow-up projects (Mountain Road Records/Verge) all debuted in the Top 5 of iTunes’ Country Album Chart upon release.
While remaining tied to his raucous live shows, Johnson’s PRETTY LIKE YOU is in the heart of the new-country movement!
