Hitmaker and Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame member, Kent Blazy, has announced the release of the debut single, “A Breeze,” off the highly anticipated upcoming album, Where I Am Now. “A Breeze” is a self-penned song reflecting a feel-good ode to the one who calms the chaos when life is on fire. With imagery of wind through live oak trees, the song celebrates love that cools hot tempers, steadies rabbit-hole spirals, and restores hope. Anchored by gratitude and unshaken faith, it’s a soothing reminder that with the right person, peace comes easily. The new music is available everywhere on music streaming and download platforms HERE.
Kent Blazy shared, “The image of wind in the live oak trees stuck with me, steady, calming, real. That’s the way the right love feels, and that’s ‘A Breeze.’” He added, “I wanted a feel-good reminder that peace doesn’t have to be complicated; sometimes it’s just the right person whispering, ‘Let it go.’”
The new single showcases the talents of an exceptional team of musicians and engineers who helped bring Kent Blazy’s vision to life. Studio musicians include Billy McClaran on saxophone for “On a Breeze,” Steve Allen (guitars), Kevin Murphy (drums), Lee Francis (bass), and Blazy himself on guitars and vocals. Engineering was handled by Chris Utley and James Viega, with mastering by Utley, ensuring the project’s warm, dynamic sound that perfectly complements the heartfelt storytelling throughout.

About Kent Blazy:
Kent Blazy is an American country songwriter born in Lexington, Kentucky, now calling Nashville home. A member of the 2020 Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala, Blazy’s catalog includes enduring hits such as Garth Brooks’ “If Tomorrow Never Comes” and “Ain’t Goin’ Down (’Til the Sun Comes Up),” and Chris Young’s “Gettin’ You Home (The Black Dress Song).” Garth Brooks began writing with Blazy in 1987 and took the stage at the induction to present him and perform their breakout hit “If Tomorrow Never Comes.” Beyond multiple singles with Brooks, Blazy has penned songs recorded by Gary Morris, Diamond Rio, Patty Loveless, Chris Young, and more, amassing seven No. 1 hits to his credit.
Raised in Lexington, Kentucky, Kent Blazy began playing rhythm guitar and singing in local bands at an early age, drawing inspiration from The Byrds, Rodney Crowell, and Joe Ely. He later toured with Canadian icon Ian Tyson before former Exile member Mark Gray encouraged him to move to Nashville. After an initial publishing deal dissolved, Blazy scored a breakthrough when Gary Morris took his song “Headed for a Heartache” into the country Top 5. In the late 1980s, he met a then-unknown Garth Brooks, with whom he co-wrote “If Tomorrow Never Comes,” Brooks’s first No. 1 hit. Their collaboration continued throughout the 1990s with singles including “Ain’t Goin’ Down (’Til the Sun Comes Up),” “It’s Midnight Cinderella,” “She’s Gonna Make It,” “Somewhere Other Than the Night,” and the George Jones duet “Beer Run (B Double E Double Are You In?).” Blazy also co-wrote Diamond Rio’s “That’s What I Get for Lovin’ You” and Patty Loveless’s “Can’t Get Enough.”
