Mercury Nashville recording artist Travis Denning is releasing his debut album, Roads That Go Nowhere, on May 24. The Paul DiGiovanni and Jeremy Stover produced album features 15 tracks, 12 of which were co-written by Denning. It also includes features by HARDY and Josh Ross. The title track, “Roads That Go Nowhere,” written by Denning, Ben Foster and James McNair, is out today.
“‘Roads That Go Nowhere’ is a culmination of songs and stories that I really believe reflect where I’ve come from, what I’ve been through, and the places I’ve yet to go and where I want to go,” said Denning. “That’s with love, music, life, everything. I’m at that point in my life where I’m able to look back and reflect on the things that have gotten me here. A lot of them are positive and there are some negatives for sure. But I think that’s kind of everybody’s goal is to be able to look back and just be happy with the progress they’ve made and the potential they’ve still got. I wanted to take that mindset lyrically and production wise for the record that I’ve gotten to where I am, and I’ve had the successes I’ve had because I just stuck to the guns of what I enjoy doing. That’s being a guitar player, it’s trying to moonlight as a metalhead in country music and telling the stories about the things I have conviction about.”
Denning has tour dates through the fall. This spring and summer, he will support HARDY on his Quit!! tour.
A native of Warner Robins, Georgia, singer/songwriter and Mercury Nashville recording artist Travis Denning first made waves with the release of his Top 40 debut single “David Ashley Parker From Powder Springs,” which has also been certified Gold by the RIAA. Denning celebrated his first No.1 and Platinum certified single with the “shadowy” (Rolling Stone) “After A Few,” from his debut EP Beer’s Better Cold, which debuted in the Top 20 of Billboard’s Country Albums chart. Last summer Denning released the EP, Might As Well Be Me. Crafted for the stage with all of Denning’s hard-charging energy and mischief-making signatures intact, the collection also captures an artist maturing. Denning’s songwriting extends to other artists – he has co-written for Morgan Wallen, Chase Rice, Jason Aldean, Justin Moore, Michael Ray and he has a cut on the latest Morgan Wallen album, “Devil Don’t Know.” Denning has previously headlined his own “Heartbeat Of A Small Town Tour,” toured with Brother’s Osborne, Cole Swindell, Dustin Lynch, Alan Jackson, Riley Green, Dierks Bentley and Jake Owen and will be on the road this spring touring with HARDY. With almost 750 million streams worldwide, Denning has been spotlighted for his head-turning sound and is making his mark withing the industry, being previously selected as one of CRS New Faces, an Opry NextStage recipient and a CMA KixStart Artist.
