Longtime buddies, Country trailblazers and Texas legends Randy Rogers and Wade Bowen tribute the only life they know in “We Ain't The Only Ones” – celebrating the musician’s life with first track off their upcoming Hold My Beer Vol. 3 (pre-save here).

Co-written by Rogers, Bowen and Rhett Akins, “We Ain't The Only Ones” delivers a sauntering tip of the hat to the hard-touring, hard-living world of musicians everywhere – and especially those in perpetual orbit around Austin, Texas.

A sing-along honky-tonk anthem full of fiddle, tavern-style piano, gravely voices and fun, the tune shouts out fellow Texas artists like Miranda Lambert, Willie Nelson and Cody Johnson, in a twangy/tenacious celebration of all those living life one night – and one crowd – at a time.

“This is a tribute to our lifestyle. Our love for music, but mostly life on the road,” shares Bowen. “Cheers to all who walked this path before us and cheers to all our friends on this journey with us now.”

“It’s time to fill up the ice chest! Summertime is upon us,” adds Rogers. “This song is for all the crazy dreamers like us chasing that neon rainbow.”

Out now on all major digital platforms, “We Ain't The Only Ones” pops the top on Hold My Beer Vol. 3 – the third installment of Rogers and Bowen’s acclaimed collab series. 

LISTEN TO “WE AIN’T THE ONLY ONES”

Arriving on July 7, the project features six new tracks co-produced by the stars themselves, and co-written with friends like Akins, Drew Kennedy, Allen Shamblin and more.

The culmination of over two decades of friendship, the initial Hold My Beer collaboration was an unplanned happenstance that has since blossomed into a thriving outlet of artistic expression that “offers up a lightheartedness — a departure from their more heartache-ridden solo work — and the fine art of breaking open a cold one with buddies,” as declared by American Songwriter.

Looking ahead, the duo will team up for more good times on another leg of their HOLD MY BEER TOUR, which kicks off July 19 in College Station, Texas, and will wind its way across the state through the summer. The party-starting trek will also include stops in Lubbock, Dallas and Corpus Christi, plus two shows at the famed Billy Bob's Texas in Fort Worth, before concluding in Helotes on August 19.

ABOUT RANDY ROGERS:
Fronted by singer-songwriter Randy Rogers and featuring Geoffrey Hill (guitar), Jon Richardson (bass guitar), Brady Black (fiddle), Les Lawless (drums), and Todd Stewart (guitar, fiddle, mandolin, keyboards), the Randy Rogers Band was founded in San Marcos, Texas, and has spent the last 20 years bringing the Texas Country tradition to dedicated fans around the nation and beyond. With nine studio albums behind them, global streaming numbers in the hundreds of millions and a reputation for must-see Country-Rock performances, the band has charted seven singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, five Top 10 albums on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and numerous Texas Country Radio chart #1s, securing its place in the pantheon of Texas musical giants. Following their 2019 album HELLBENT (produced by Grammy-winner Dave Cobb), the group's latest project, 2022's HOMECOMING, has received critical acclaim and celebrates the group's two decades together. The new album brings the band back to where it all started with original producer Radney Foster, culminating in a project that nods to the past with its roots planted firmly in the present. In addition to fronting the iconic band, Rogers' artistry also includes work with Jerry Jeff Walker, Alison Krauss, Radney Foster, Willie Nelson, and the mystery duo called The Stryker Brothers, which was revealed to be Randy and mentor, Robert Earl Keen. Rogers and Bowen's latest Hold My Beer Vol. 3 EP is the latest in their series of hit Hold My Beer projects.

About Wade Bowen:
Twenty years and more than 4,000 shows into his career, Wade Bowen has become synonymous with country music, songwriting, and captivating live performances -- and for good reason. An artistic descendant of American icons like Guy Clark, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Robert Earl Keen and more, Bowen is an important voice in a legacy of Texas troubadours stretching back more than 50 years. Regarded as one of the genre’s finest and most authentic modern voices, Bowen’s approach is rooted in tradition, but also stands on the creative cutting edge. His focus remains on writing unique songs with a literary quality, and shifting his sonic territory to match his life. Wielding a knack for direct, poetic songwriting that never panders, Bowen matches his gravel-road growl to an organic sound spanning the whole of Texas, tapping both country and rock influences. A dozen albums have shown his musical diversity – including six studio sets, two live collections, a gospel album and an ongoing series of buddy-country hits with fellow Texan, Randy Rogers.  A road warrior, Bowen continues to perform more than 200 dates a year across the U.S. including regular visits to WSM’S famed Grand Ole Opry. A philanthropist at heart, Bowen founded the Bowen Family Foundation which has helped children and families in and around central Texas by raising more than $6 million for beneficiaries including March of Dimes Waco, CASA of McLennan and Hill Counties, City of West Disaster Relief, Boys & Girls Clubs of Waco, Inspiración, The Mentoring Alliance and more.
