Trailblazing singer/songwriter Bryan Ruby has released his new single, an updated version of his 2022 song, “The Standouts,” this time featuring Grammy-nominated and Dove Award-winning artist Ty Herndon. Download and stream the new music here.
A new video in support of the project was produced by Neilson Hubbard and Joshua Britt of Neighborhoods Apart Productions. The video for "The Standouts" brings recognition, awareness and a visual depiction to everyday people, including the LGBTQ community, to give them a moment in the spotlight along with various other professions and individuals. The video is available to watch and stream online here.
“The Standouts” is a song that Bryan Ruby hopes will empower people to be the best versions of themselves possible and that it unites different kinds of people together. He never wants anyone to be afraid of standing out from the crowd, no matter who they are.
“Ty is a true ‘standout’ because he came out before it was cool in country music, showing people that it’s okay to be proud of who you are,” shared Bryan Ruby. “It is because of standouts like Ty that the next generation of country artists like me can be honest and sing authentically from the start of our careers. It’s an honor to have him as my duet partner on this song. Also, this song has taken on a life of its own since we originally released it last fall. We’ve got a ton of messages from different people telling us about the standouts in their lives, and I’m proud that the song has come to represent honest, hardworking people who are doing good in the world.”
“When Bryan asked me to be a part of this song, I immediately said yes,” said Ty Herndon. “At a time when there are so many folks trying to divide us, this song demonstrates the values of love and acceptance - and respecting people for exactly who they are. The truth is, everyone can be a standout in their own lives, and I hope this track inspires young and old alike to show up as their true, authentic selves. When that happens, we all win.”
