  THE REKLAWS - One Beer Away - Universal Music Canada

Multi-platinum duo The Reklaws are back with a brand-new single, one that has all the makings of another hit for the award-winning outfit.  “One Beer Away” is available now, both digitally and on all streaming platforms, via Universal Music Canada.

The Canadian duo made their U.S. network debut to a rousing response, and has just released a summer anthem that is worthy of unprecedented airplay and fandom.  The track serves as a taste of new music for the pair, which continues to explore new realms of the country genre while always incorporating those trademark elements that fans have always loved about them over the years.

“We have a ton of new music we’re really excited about, but ‘One Beer Away’ felt like the perfect song to share right now,” Jenna Walker of The Reklaws said.  “It takes us back to ‘Long Live the Night’ every time we listen to it, capturing the essence of the perfect summer night in your small town.”

This is a no-doubt, feel-good party song that pays homage to the down-home country way of life, full of good times with close friends while meeting new people and living in the moment.  Strictly about having fun, the song doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is exactly what we, the listeners, want for a party song with the downs down on the weekend.

“From the taste of freedom on a Friday night

To letting go and falling into the time of your life

If you asked God and he answered with a neon sign

Let’s raise some hell for heaven’s sake

‘Cause I’m only one beer away”

Written by Jenna and Stuart Walker, along with Callum Maudsley and Scott Helman, this is an ode to life’s carefree moments that pays homage to the memories made and flashes of time that will live on in our hearts and minds for years to come.  A down-to-earth, clear message accompanied by an upbeat tempo and catchy chorus, “One Beer Away” checks all of the boxes for a summer time smash hit.

Ever since the release of their debut single, “Love Live the Night”, the brother-and-sister duo has been mesmerizing fans in their native Canada as well as in the U.S., with their ever-growing collection of top-notch country tunes.  To date, The Reklaws hold eighth JUNO nominations and eight CCMA Awards, along with four No. 1 songs at Canadian radio and over 300 million global streams.
