Rising country artist Scoot Teasley is embracing his roots with his latest release, ‘Dirt Road Dropout,' now available on all streaming platforms. Written alongside Kelly Archer and Brett Truitt, the song is a tribute to the dirt roads that shaped him and a declaration that no matter where life takes him, he’ll always return home.
“Writing ‘Dirt Road Dropout' with Kelly Archer and Brett Truitt was one of those moments where everything lined up,” Teasley shared. “No matter where life takes you, you never forget where you came from or where you're headed. I'm proud of this one and real thankful for the roots that raised me.”
The new single follows Teasley’s well-received track ‘Gone To Dust' which earned praise from MusicRow for its “warmly forceful” vocals and striking production. Written by Teasley, Nicholas Sainato, and John Townsend, the song reflects on love, loss, and resilience, further cementing Teasley’s growing reputation in country music.
Named a 2024 Artist to Watch by The Nashville Briefing and a Tidal Rising Artist, Teasley first gained widespread attention with ‘This Truck Still Misses You.' The track landed on Billboard’s 8 Must-Hear Country Songs list, with the outlet praising his distinct, warm vocal tone and powerful upper register. The song is featured on his debut EP, ‘Country Back,' a four-track collection blending classic country influences with modern hip-hop and R&B elements.
Teasley has been making waves in Nashville’s live music scene, recently performing at the Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival, The Basement, Whiskey Jam, and Duck Blind for the Raised Rowdy showcase. Last June, he made his CMA Fest debut at Spotify House’s Fresh Finds Rooftop, further establishing himself as a rising force in country music.
