Music Minute - Scoot Teasley: Runnin' Outta Summer

 

Rising singer-songwriter Scoot Teasley fights the season's ticking clock in his new track “Runnin' Outta Summer,” out now. A windows-down anthem about a guy wanting to convey how he feels before his love interest heads back to college, the song comes at the perfect time for the back-to-school season. Watch the accompanying visualizer here.   “We wrote 'Runnin' Outta Summer' back in the summer of '23, and it's one I've been ready to release since the day we finished it,” said Teasley. “I hope this song takes listeners back to that summer love you never really wanted to slip away — windows down, music up and nothing on your mind but the moment. It feels good to finally share this one.”    LISTEN: “RUNNIN' OUTTA SUMMER”   Written by Teasley, Mason Thornley and Jon Stark, “Runnin' Outta Summer” follows Teasley's most personal release yet, “Tower Road,” which pulls inspiration from the dirt road he was raised on in Toccoa, Ga. Written by Teasley, Forrest Finn and Dawson Edwards and produced by Brett Truitt, the song gives thanks to his roots and honors the family and community who shaped him, opening with audio from his own grandfather.   The Georgia native continues to add to his growing catalog, with 2025 releases including “Whiskey Burns,” “Dirt Road Dropout” and “Gone To Dust,” the latter of which brought MusicRow to state, “his singing is warmly forceful and the percussion touches are ear-catching on this depiction of the end of a relationship. The muscular production matches the potency of his performance of this midtempo rouser.”   The Nashville Briefing 2024 Artist to Watch and Tidal Rising Artist will bring his hits to stages across the country this fall as he joins Lily Rose on tour. Kicking off on Sept. 11, the tour will hit major markets including New York, Boston and Atlanta. He has made his rounds in Music City this year as well, playing at The Basement, Whiskey Jam, Duck Blind's Raised Rowdy showcase, Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival and various events throughout CMA Fest.
