ARTIST TO WATCH ERIN VIANCOURT RELEASES NEW SONG “CHEAP PARADISE”
June 30, 2023—Emerging singer, songwriter and musician Erin Viancourt’s new song, “Cheap Paradise,” a celebration of life’s simple pleasures, is debuting today. Listen/share HERE.
WON’T DIE THIS WAY TRACKLIST ERIN VIANCOURT CONFIRMED TOUR DATES
ANTICIPATED DEBUT ALBUM WON’T DIE THIS WAY OUT JULY 21 VIA LATE AUGUST RECORDS
FIRST ARTIST SIGNED TO CODY JINKS’ NEW LABEL
SUMMER HEADLINE TOUR DATES CONFIRMED
Of the song, Viancourt shares, “I think the thing that is so cool about ‘Cheap Paradise’ is that we all have our own version of it. Paradise doesn’t always have a price tag associated with it. A lot of the times it’s simply appreciating what you have and having the people you love near you.”
“Cheap Paradise” is the second song unveiled from Viancourt’s anticipated debut album, Won’t Die This Way, which will be released July 21 via Late August Records—the first artist signed to the new label founded and led by Cody Jinks (pre-order/pre-save here). Produced by Viancourt and Kyle Dreaden, Won’t Die This Way is an engaging introduction to the free-spirited and full-hearted artist, as she blends her authentic songwriting and timeless voice with traditional country sounds. Across these thirteen tracks, Viancourt explores the complexities of the human experience, addressing the joys, pains and chaos of everyday life.
Ahead of the release, Viancourt shared lead single, “Should’ve Known Better,” earlier this spring, which is currently #49 and rising on Music Row’s CountryBreakout Radio Chart. The song is also one of the most added singles this week at Texas Radio.
Reflecting on the record, Viancourt shares, “I hope this album makes people want to move around a dance floor with a cold beverage, sing at the top of their lungs with the windows down, and keep moving forward with whatever they’re looking for in life. Most of all I hope it reminds everyone that they’re not alone and we’re all a little crazy—so let’s all grow together and do it with style.”
Having spent most of her career on the road, Viancourt will continue to tour through this summer including headline shows at Pittsburgh’s The Crafthouse Stage & Grill, Cleveland’s Beachland Ballroom, Louisville’s Zanzabar and Nashville’s 3rd & Lindsley as well as select dates supporting Cody Jinks and The Steel Woods. See below for complete itinerary.
Recorded at Nashville’s Forty-One Fifteen and The Smoakstack Won’t Die This Way features Viancourt (vocals, acoustic guitar), Mike Daly (Dobro, pedal steel), Jake Finch (drums, bongos, percussion), Jordan Harazin (12 String Guitar), Dylan Jones (keyboards), Jake Lenter (acoustic guitar, electric guitar), Alex Lyon (bass guitar), Austin “Hot Rod” Tripp (pedal steel) and Austin Webb (electric guitar, acoustic guitar, baritone electric guitar, electric mandolin) as well as songwriting collaborations with Jinks, Kendell Marvel, Ward Davis and more.
Raised in Cleveland, OH, Viancourt began writing songs as a teenager after finding inspiration from writers such as Jerry Jeff Walker and Shel Silverstein. After high school, she moved to Nashville to hone her skills as a songwriter and musician, before heading out on the road, where she’s since established herself as a natural live performer.
