For lead singer Connor Christian, The Southern Gothic is a passion project and one that has grounded him and allowed him to find a true home. The son of an American serviceman and Diplomat, he has spent much of his life moving across cities and countries but is now based in Nashville; The home of country music and his sound is evolving, as is his songwriting craft.
One More For The Road is a collection of songs that put The Southern Gothic on the map. Showcasing their grit and determination and allowing them the opportunity to put the spotlight on their unique country-rock style that sets them apart from their counterparts.
Written by Connor Christian and some of Nashville’s most talented writers – Elvie Shane (My Boy), Russell Sutton (Nate Smith-Whiskey on You) Emmy-Winner Andrew Rollins, and many more, this record shows a songwriter 10 years on from New Hometown, and brings to life all the struggle, joy and growth that decade has brought, and a musical partnership that’s still unafraid to make its own rules.
Speaking about the album’s lead single, frontman Connor Christian says: “The lead single for the album, Dreaming Big In a Small Town, was written by myself, Elvie Shane, and Elvie’s brother Dakota Payton. The song is from the point of view of a small-town lifer, someone born in a small town, raised in that town, and he’ll die in that town. Some people just weren’t made for change. But our protagonist is in love with a different kind of woman – the kind that was made for the California sunshine and big city lights. He knows she’s not coming back to settle down in that little town with him, but he’s still dreaming of her”.
