Nashville, TN - June 13, 2024 – Country music sensation Chris Chitsey is set to release his highly anticipated new single and music video, “Every Small Town,” on June 18, 2024. The single is already making waves as it has been chosen as the theme song for the new television show “Only in Iola” which premiered in May on Roku and Amazon Fire TV. Fans can get a sneak peek of the music video before it is released worldwide by tuning in on June 13 to watch episode six, “God’s Small Town,” which features Chitsey and the official music video at the end.
“Every Small Town” is a tribute to the charm and character of small-town America. Chitsey’s lyrics and rich vocals paint a picture of life in close-knit communities, resonating with listeners who cherish the simple joys found in every small town across the country. The accompanying music video brings these themes to life, featuring scenic views and heartwarming moments that reflect the song’s celebration of small-town spirit.
Chitsey, known for his compelling voice and authentic country sound, expressed his excitement about the release:
“I wanted to create a song that captures the essence of what makes small towns so special – the sense of community, the stories, the memories. ‘Every Small Town’ is a tribute to those places and the people who make them unique. I’m thrilled that it’s also the theme song for 'Only in Iola,' a show that shares those same values.”
“Only in Iola” follows real-life characters, Shanalee, Perry, their son Braydon, and their beloved dog Sadee Dei, as they trade the comforts of an upscale city life for the rugged beauty of a rural Texas ranch in Iola, Texas, to embark on a new, simpler way of life. “Every Small Town” was chosen as the theme song because of its lyrical connection to the show’s celebration of small-town life.
“ ‘Every Small Town’ perfectly captures the spirit of our show. It’s a song that resonates with anyone who has experienced the warmth and simplicity of small-town living, making it an ideal song for our series. We believe it will connect with our audience and set the tone for each episode,” said Shanalee Sharboneau.
The single “Every Small Town” will be available June 18 on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. The official music video can be viewed on Chris Chitsey’s YouTube channel and the show’s website. Fans can also catch behind-the-scenes footage and exclusive interviews on Chitsey's social media channels.
