49 Winchester, the alt-country powerhouse hailing from the heart of Appalachia, announced their return with a brand new album, "Leavin’ This Holler," slated for release on August 2nd, 2024. The 10-song collection, produced by the band and Stewart Myers, promises a blend of rollicking country and searing rock music, showcasing a matured approach and a newfound sense of purpose.
The announcement comes on the heels of 49 Winchester Day, celebrated today, April 9th, in their hometown of Russell County, Virginia. Building on the success of their previous album, "Fortune Favors the Bold," which garnered critical acclaim and over 150 million global streams, "Leavin’ This Holler" is poised to captivate audiences once again.
Featuring appearances by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, singer-songwriter Maggie Antone, fiddler Philip Bowen, and guitarist Cole Chafin, the album promises a diverse sonic landscape that explores every possible sound while staying true to the band's signature style.
Lead singer and guitarist Isaac Gibson reflects on the band's journey, from their humble beginnings in Castlewood, Virginia, to sharing the stage with country powerhouse Luke Combs. "It's a testament to the uncommon fact that we’re musicians from a very specific place in the world," says Gibson. "And it’s a testament to viewing each other more as family than as friends."
Ahead of the album release, 49 Winchester will embark on a UK/Europe headline tour, with shows spanning across England, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, and Belgium. The tour kicks off next month, supported by Drayton Farley, promising electrifying performances and sold-out venues.
