On the heels of penning another #1 song, Luke Bryan‘s “Waves,” songwriter and artist Ryan Hurd has just announced his debut album, Pelago, to be released October 15.
The project was inspired by Ryan’s upbringing on the shores of Lake Michigan, and was produced with his childhood friend and longtime collaborator Aaron Eshuis. Additional collaborators include Jesse Frasure (Thomas Rhett, Kane Brown, Little Big Town) and Teddy Reimer.
Fans are already familiar with the first single from the project, “Chasing After You,” the first official duet with his wife Maren Morris.
They debuted the song at the 55th ACM Awards, and it is currently Top-15 (and climbing) at country radio.
