Following the release of their sophomore album Californ I Ain’t, Few Miles South saw great success out on the road in 2019. Playing over one hundred shows across the United States and Canada, including a coveted full-band performance at the 2019 Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California, the classic southern grit and authentic country soul duo are kicking off the new decade with a fan favorite single Outlaw from their most recent album.
The single was written by the duo, consisting of Tori Lund and Blake English, and came to fruition after the two began messing around with the line ‘everybody wants to be an outlaw’. “We’ve met people along the way who don’t seem interested in making art just making money or gaining fame by being part of a trend” says English. “The fan feedback the song received while on the road over the past year served as the main reason we decided to release the song.”
Lund and English chalk that up to the song’s groove and pulse being more rocker-like in comparison to other songs on their album. Lund also notes “we had fun with the acapella intro which nods to old timey tunes, and it’s really fun to play live which is why I think the fans enjoy it so much”. The duo has already hit the ground running with their 2020 touring schedule, having played shows in Florida and Georgia, and have future shows booked out through July 2020.
Outlaw is available on Spotify, Apple Music, and all other digital retailers now.
About Few Miles South:
This duo comprised of Tori Lund from Los Angeles and Blake English from South Georgia met playing at a church in L.A. where they bonded over a shared love of country music. Each with musical backgrounds —Lund a classically trained vocalist and musician, English a musician, producer and engineer —they began to write together, eventually realizing the songs they once hoped to shop would be best suited for themselves. Their new dreams took them across the nation deep into the woods of Georgia where they planted roots and got to work. Their debut single, On Down the Road was released to rave reviews and charted in the Top 40. The success resulted in the February 2018 release of their debut five-track EP, Might Could. It catapulted the band to new audiences and towns as they began a coast to coast tour, performing nearly every night for hundreds of shows. While this lifestyle is not for the faint of heart, FMS has embraced it. You can find them, dogs included, packed into their van soaking up every second of their never-ending road trip.
