(Nashville, Tenn.– Aug. 31, 2021) Cali-Country artist Dave Herrera released a new single, “Hella Country,” today, August 31. The song about farmers and ranchers has quickly transitioned from being a catchy tune into a lifestyle anthem. The single is now available on all streaming services here.
Herrera was inspired to write the song while working his family ranch in his town surrounded by rice fields, orchards, cattle farms, vineyards, and other blue-collar families. With the help of co-writer, Cory Coppin, and co-producer, Jeff Baldwin, he wrote “Hella Country” to remind listeners that being country is more than music. It is also a lifestyle of hardworking individuals fighting to keep their homes thriving amongst droughts, wildfires, and other natural disasters.
The song has become more than just a track for those in the fields. “Hella Country” represents a culture of people. It is a state of mind that people all over the United States embrace of hard work and living in beautiful landscapes.
Herrera explains,“What Hella Country means to me is a culture of people who are hardworking, never give up, and do what they can to provide for their families with the environment that surrounds us.”
Herrera calls on listeners to embrace the country side of themselves and celebrate it.“I hope listeners find their Hella Country! It is a sense of freedom, being outdoors, working hard, enjoying life or whatever makes you HAPPY! That is Hella Country!”
