Highway Home Signs with Warner Records, Drops Major-Label Debut Single

On June 8 2026, Nashville’s Highway Home—Stanton Langley, Eamon Owen and Conner Sweeny—announced a partnership with Warner Records, immediately followed by the release of their first major‑label single, “No More Drinkin’ Songs,” on June 12. The deal marks the trio’s debut signing to a major label after a decade of independent releases, extensive touring, and viral harmony videos that have built a devoted fan base. Their catalog, which includes “Missin’ You Goes,” “Ring On Red” and “Look At You,” showcases a blend of modern country songwriting and classic storytelling, while their live history boasts a debut at the Ryman Auditorium and a first appearance at CMA Fest in 2026. In Warner’s statement, the band said, “The most important thing to us has always been making sure the music stays true to our vision, and the folks at Warner have been completely aligned with that from the start. Warner Records feels like home, and a great place to create the music we are passionate about. We couldn’t be more excited to join the team and write our next chapter with Warner!” Kelly Bolton, vice‑president of A&R at Warner Records, added, “Highway Home is a band built on rare individual talent—each member is a gifted singer, musician and songwriter in their own right. Their three‑part harmony is unmistakable. Their songwriting bridges the soul of ’90s and 2000s country with a sound that resonates right now, and that’s exactly what makes them cut through. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome them to the Warner Records family.” Produced by Ryan Gore, whose credits include Kacey Musgraves, Jon Pardi and Thomas Rhett, “No More Drinkin’ Songs” layers fiddle, steel guitar and piano beneath the trio’s harmonies, telling a story that moves from a barroom scene to a declaration of lasting commitment; the accompanying music video, shot at Nashville’s Donelson Pub, features Sweeny’s wife, Mary Claire, and their dog Rocky. Highway Home’s path to a major‑label deal has been driven by grassroots momentum: the trio has toured with Luke Combs, Sara Evans, George Birge, Sister Hazel, Graham Barham and others, while their online presence grew through videos that showcase original songs, country classics and unexpected covers. Warner’s involvement is expected to broaden their reach through radio promotion, streaming placement and larger touring opportunities, leveraging the label’s history of supporting country acts from emerging artists to established stars. The release of “No More Drinkin’ Songs” is the first taste of a partnership that aims to develop a full‑length album and a national tour, although specific dates have not yet been disclosed. The current situation is that Highway Home is now under Warner Records’ umbrella, with their debut single available on all major streaming platforms and a music video circulating on social media, setting the stage for the next steps in their transition from independent success to a wider national presence.
