Music Minute - Reid Haughton: Day You Don't

 

River House Artists' up-and-coming singer-songwriter Reid Haughton debuts with his groovy new single, “Day You Don't,” available everywhere now. Accompanied by a music video, “Day You Don't” is backed by a roaring choir with a rollicking guitar lick, reflecting Haughton's Southern rock influences. Produced by Sadler Vaden and written by Haughton, Rivers Rutherford, Ben Foster and Joybeth Taylor, the soulful track with telecaster twang finds Haughton longing for the day his love interest realizes she can do better than the guy she is currently with.

WATCH THE “DAY YOU DON'T” MUSIC VIDEO HERE   "'Day You Don't' was one of the first songs I had been a part of that truly sounded like the music I listen to daily and have been influenced by," shares Haughton. “I grew up on Southern and classic rock sounds, so taking my music more in that direction has always been on my mind, and writing 'Day You Don't' showed me that I could do that. This song sets the tone for what's to come and I'm so excited to get it out there!”   Last week, Haughton was featured in Hoda's Morning Boost on NBC's TODAY after his TikTok video went viral. In the video, Haughton soothes his friend's crying baby by performing his soon-to-be released song “She Is.” Check out the TODAY shoutout here.  To celebrate the start of a new chapter of music from the rising talent artist, Haughton will take over Nashville's The Basement on Monday, Jan. 23 with special guest Brian Fuller. Tickets are free on a first come, first served basis. With plans to release more new music in 2023 via River House Artists, Haughton will embark on tour with fellow Country artist Tyler Booth this February.

ABOUT REID HAUGHTON: A country singer songwriter from smalltown Haleyville, Alabama, Reid Haughton mixes contemporary Country melodies with modern Southern rock inspired vocals. Haughton's influences were shaped by his father's vast taste in music, which included everyone from Lynyrd Skynyrd to the Grateful Dead. With no interest in ever becoming a front man, Haughton picked up a guitar for the first time during church lessons. It wasn't long until his music teacher pushed him to hum some melodies along with his guitar. This quickly started Haughton's transition from wanting to know how to play a few songs to tirelessly working to become a Country musician.   In his map dot town of population: 4,000, and until recently, a dry county, there were not many opportunities for Haughton to hone his craft. When Haughton attended college at Auburn University, he'd knock on business doors and offer to play at local bars for free. He quickly became immersed in the college circuit, performing all throughout the Southeast.   Haughton's ambition and ability to evolve has shown through his music career. After releasing the second song he had ever written titled “Make You Mine” in 2018, Haughton began participating in co-writes working with writers such as Adam Craig and Jordan Walker. In 2021, Haughton released his single “Got the Girl” and toured throughout the South with rising artist Jordan Rowe. The up-and-comer has completed opening slots for artists like Dwight Yoakam and Jon Pardi and will tour across the Southeast this February with Tyler Booth. With plans to release his first project via River House Artists later this year, there's a whole lot more on the horizon for Haughton.
