ELI WINDERS HITS THE ROAD WITH “TWO WHEEL DRIVE COWBOY"

Rising Country singer-songwriter Eli Winders has shared his most energetic single thus far, “Two Wheel Drive Cowboy,” available now via Atlantic Records/Bad Realm Records here.

“‘Two Wheel Drive Cowboy’ is a change of pace from the songs we've been putting out,” says Winders. “It’s really upbeat, fun, and a step in the direction I want to take my music sonically. It’s one of my favorite songs I co-wrote in 2023 and I’m so excited to play it on the road this year.”

Winders has hit the road on a series of live dates supporting Conner Smith, wrapping this weekend at West Peoria, IL’s Crusens (2/23) and Bloomington, IN’s The Bluebird (2/24). In addition, Winders will be supporting Tanner Usrey at The Basement East in Nashville, TN on 3/14.

“Two Wheel Drive Cowboy” marks the latest in a string of singles including the heartwarming “Carolina Blue,” available now here. Originally teased on TikTok, the tender track is joined by a stripped down, acoustic version available here.

Last summer saw Winders making his Atlantic/Bad Realm debut with the bittersweet “Pack My Hometown.” Recorded in Nashville with producer/co-writer Eric Arjes (Tim McGraw, Kane Brown, Eli Young Band), the deeply moving track – which was heralded in a series of TikTok teasers that amassed over 2.5 MILLION views – is joined by an official music video streaming now here. “Pack My Hometown” was met by instant applause from such outlets as Countrypolitan Magazine, which raved, “‘Pack My Hometown’ has all the hallmarks of a great song: heartfelt lyrics, rich acoustic foundation, and an emotive, moving vocal performance. There’s no telling what else Eli Winders has in store, and we just can’t wait to hear what he does next.”

ABOUT ELI WINDERS:
Born and raised in the heartland of North Carolina, 19-year-old Eli Winders is a classic yet fresh voice in Country music. After only having access to music through the radio until his teens, Winders’ musical exploration truly began when he received a phone for his 16th birthday – a gift that opened the door to streaming music for the first time. As he delved into a rich tapestry of melodies and lyrics, he found himself captivated by the timeless sounds of Country music’s golden era and wanting to write songs of his own.

Throughout 2022, Winders dedicated his days to working in a feed mill, attending college classes at night, and scribbling song ideas between it all. His first breakthrough arrived when he began sharing his musical talents online. By posting heartfelt covers and soul-stirring original songs, Winders quickly gained an enthusiastic following, drawing in listeners with his genuine artistry and Carolina charm. Recognizing the young artist’s exceptional talent and commitment to his craft, Atlantic/Bad Realm Records fulfilled a dream for Winders, swiftly signing him to their roster. Now, with “Two Wheel Drive Cowboy” and more new music to come, Winders’ musical journey has truly begun in earnest.
