Tobacco Rd Band releases new 'THAT'S COUNTRY' single featuring Colt Ford to country radio, iTunes
By Lisa L.
CMT artist ERIC DURRANCE, founder and frontman for TOBACCO RD BAND, is proud to announce the official release of the band's smokin'-hot new single, "THAT'S COUNTRY" featuring COLT FORD.
Billboard Country News Editor Chuck Dauphin says this about the just-unleashed TRB-Ford collaboration:
"'That's Country' could very well be the modern-day anthem for the 18-34-year-old demo. Tobacco Rd Band has a great sense of musicianship that comes across ALMOST as well as their exuberance and their energy!"
Released by Big Southern Entertainment, "That's Country" is available now for digital download via iTunes. But even before its official Feb. 5 release, the feel-good track had generated a buzz, with early adds at country radio's 103.1/The Wolf in Tallahassee and 106.1/The Twister in Tulsa.
"The audience response to this song has been amazing,” Durrance says. “Everybody loves the song and they’re singing along by the second chorus. … Our hope is that Colt fans will appreciate it and become our fans, too. We feel like his fans are our kinda people. If you like Colt Ford, you're probably gonna like Tobacco Rd Band.”
Following the single release of “That’s Country” via iTunes, the Coors Light-sponsored Tobacco Rd Band--who just earned the 2013 Tally Award for "Best Group"--will release a “six-pack” EP for fans. Fans also can also watch for Durrance and TRB to be the featured cover story in the February issue of Nashville Music Guide.
To stay current on the latest TRB news, including concerts and music updates, please access the band’s Facebook page, official website or Twitter.

More about Eric Durrance & Tobacco Rd Band
CMT touring artist Eric Durrance formed the Tobacco Rd Band in 2010. The Tallahassee-born, four-piece band came out of the gate running in and accomplished more in its first year than what some bands spend a lifetime trying to do. Powered by the songwriting of hit-tunesmith Durrance, the soulful guitar playing of Lex Vance, the solid bass playing of Aaron Halford and the feel-good rhythm of drummer Joe Markham, the Tobacco Rd. Band has been a hit with country fans since the first time they stepped on stage. Earlier this month, TRB was named "Best Band" in the 2013 Tally Awards.
Lead vocalist-songwriter Durrance, who opened for Jason Aldean and Lady Antebellum on the 2008 CMT Tour, returned to his Florida roots to create the musical entity that he has called his "dream team." Says Durrance: “These are some of the best musicians that I have had the privilege to share the stage with.”
With a nonstop touring schedule and regional radio success to its credit, Tobacco Rd Band, in addition to performing its original crowd-pleasers such as "Stiff Drink," "Tailgate Saturday." "Boom!"and "Get A Little Loud," also performs the top-10 "Eight Second Ride" hit recorded by country singer Jake Owen, which was co-written by Durrance. The success of the latter song has opened many doors for Durrance & his Tobacco Rd players and continues to be a favorite in the band's set list.
Durrance & TRB are destined for even greater success. This rocking-country band is in it to win it, and by their own decree, music lovers are advised to "hold on tight cause it's gonna be wilder than any 'Eight Second Ride'!"
