Texas native and rising star George Birge longs for the perfection of days gone by in the new track “It Ain’t Austin,” a wistful Country ballad recalling a moment of pure romantic bliss.

Co-written by Birge with Paul DiGiovanni and Joe Clemmons, “It Ain’t Austin” arrives as a smooth, swaying narrative with a classic theme and modern-timeless sound, proving moving on is sometimes easier said than done.

Produced by Will Bundy with a nostalgic, sunset-Country disposition, a propulsive beat and Birge’s tender vocal, the tune follows a guy who left home looking for a new start but comes to realize he left his heart behind. The track stands as a stirring reminder that the grass isn’t always greener, and the best only happens once – so soak it up while you can.

"It Ain’t Austin” previews Birge’s forthcoming Cowboy Songs EP (RECORDS Nashville) due out April 5 as he revealed on social media and is available for pre-add/pre-save here.

The start of 2024 saw Birge’s breakout debut with seductive anthem “Mind On You,” reaching #1 at Country radio. The hitmaker was then highlighted in the coveted New Faces of Country Music showcase at the 2024 Country Radio Seminar in February, sharing an honor previously bestowed on stars like Jelly Roll, Luke Combs, Luke Bryan and more as their career heated up.

That industry support continues as Birge’s current single picks up steam, with the stormy “Cowboy Songs” becoming one of the most-added songs at Country radio upon release earlier this month and Billboard predicting the follow-up success with, “three more minutes of magic."

Meanwhile, Birge is making waves on the road as well. The newly minted chart-topper is currently supporting Parker McCollum’s BURN IT DOWN TOUR 2024, with select shows all across the U.S. ending June 1 in Jacksonville, Florida. He’ll then join Luke Bryan for the superstar’s MIND OF A COUNTRY BOY TOUR starting August 8, with more nationwide dates scheduled through the end of summer. See here for full list of tour stops.
