With “Bar By Now” climbing the Music Row Country Breakout Chart, California country-rock artist Stephen Styles shifts gears with his new digital release, “Whiskey And Vinyl.” Solely written by Styles and available now on all streaming platforms, the track reveals a quieter, more reflective side of the rising singer-songwriter.
“There’s something different about vinyl, it’s raw, imperfect, and real, and that’s how emotions are too,” Styles shares. “For me, this song represents using music as a way to survive hard moments.” Built on his signature “Zero to Hillbilly” blend of classic country grit and Southern rock edge, the track leans into heartbreak, reflection, and finding calm within chaos.
“Bar By Now” continues its strong run with Top 10 most added honors at country radio, international airplay, a #2 spot on PlayMPE’s UK Streaming Chart, and placement on more than 500 Spotify playlists. “Whiskey And Vinyl” deepens the narrative, offering emotional honesty and a reminder that sometimes music is the only thing that truly understands the weight of the night.
