#coldchocolate #recordrelease #june26

Happy Friday y’all! Today we continue on the road toward the release of our new record! Red Line Roots has the premiere of our live video single and title track “Down the Line.” We shot this video at the beautiful Great North Sound Society, where we tried to capture the energy we give this tune live. We LOVE RLR so much, Brian’s writing is so honest and heartfelt while truly pumping you up with his words. Please enjoy this video, and check out the studio version on @bandcamp, @spotify, etc. Full video and article at the LINK below:

"There is a groove, there is a flow, there is a feel the way in which these two pour forth the music. The live element only further adds to that feel and the honesty of a performance, a fleeting moment in time..."

We are overjoyed to release the first single off of our new record today!  The full album will be released on June 26th, 2020, but the title track can be streamed and downloaded today at the link below!  Much love to you all!

Announcing Cold Tour 2020!
🎸🎸🎸🎸
2019 was quite the busy year for us! All told, we played just shy of 80 shows, most of them in new cities and venues. We recorded a brand new album in April, which we are excited to release in 2020 (which could be any day now...stay tuned!) But till then, come see us somewhere during this, the Coldest, Chocolatiest, time of the year. We’re kickin’ off our new year in Virginia! Happy New Year, y'all!
