New track showcases his signature storytelling, rooted in faith, family, and real-life experiences
(Nashville, Tennessee – May 8, 2026) Country singer-songwriter Colton James returns with his latest single, “Take Me There,” available today (here) on all streaming platforms.
Driven by his signature blend of traditional country influences and personal reflection, “Take Me There” captures the essence of slowing down and reconnecting with life’s meaningful moments. The song continues to build on the foundation that has defined Colton’s artistry, music grounded in authenticity, heritage, and a deep love for country living. The island-inspired anthem brings listeners straight to the water’s edge. With scenes of flip flops in the sand, cold drinks in hand, and days spent drifting on “island time,” the song captures the essence of letting go and living freely. It’s a soundtrack for anyone craving a break, where the noise of everyday life fades into the background and simple pleasures take over.
“In today’s fast-paced life, I wanted to paint a picture for the listener that lets us escape the trials and tribulations of everyday life,” shares Colton. “I hope with this song that everyone gets to know me a little better through my life experiences. As my grandmother once told me, a painter paints with a brush and a songwriter paints with a pen. She said she could foresee me painting with a pen one day. I hope I’ve fulfilled her legacy. So crank it up loud and let me take you there with my new song.”
Colton James’ country roots run deep, shaped from an early age by time spent in the front seat of his father’s truck, listening to legends like George Jones, Keith Whitley, George Strait, and Merle Haggard. His musical foundation was further influenced by his family, with both grandmothers playing piano and organ, and his mother passing down her gift of singing.
Known for his down-to-earth mentality and passion for country music and America, Colton has shared the stage with artists including Carrie Underwood, Florida Georgia Line, Toby Keith, Jon Pardi, and Jason Aldean. His music continues to resonate with audiences through its honesty and relatability.
Beyond music, Colton remains actively involved in a variety of ventures, including RedSunset Entertainment, a Nashville-based multimedia company, and philanthropic efforts such as the Land 4 Heroes Lodge, which supports Veterans by providing a space for connection and community.
Colton is also an active supporter of Veteran and first responder initiatives through his partnership with Honor Brewing Company. Through this collaboration, he regularly participates in Honor Sportfishing experiences at Oregon Inlet Fishing Center in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, creating meaningful, memory-driven moments for those who have served while honoring the legacy of fallen heroes. His alignment with Honor Brewing reflects a shared commitment to service, recognition, and giving back.
With “Take Me There,” Colton James offers more than just a song, he delivers an experience, inviting listeners to pause, reflect, and journey alongside him through the stories that have shaped his life.
