NASHVILLE, TN (December 6, 2024) – Blending three unique backgrounds with rich, triple harmonies and a modern-organic philosophy, River House Artists’ latest country group, Old Hickory, has released their latest track, “Mr. Right Now.” The band, consisting of members Andy Austin, Dan Alley, and Timothy Baker, is a Country Music trio based in Nashville, Tennessee. Taking notes from the storied country groups of the 90s and early 2000s, they maintain the tradition of powerful vocals and rich harmonies while adding a fresh and modern perspective. “Mr. Right Now” channels the carefree spirit of ‘90s country with a bold and unapologetic anthem about living for the moment. Packed with charm, twangy energy, and throwback vibes, this playful tune tells the story of a man who’s honest about his intentions—he’s not here forever, just for tonight.
I ain’t your Mr. Right/I party way too loud I’m here to tie one on/Y’ain’t gonna tie me down I ain’t he kind to buy a ring/I’m the kind to buy a round I ain’t your Mr. Right/But I’ll be your Mr. Right Now
“I wrote this song with Dan, and Greg Bates wrote in June of 2023,” says Andy Austin. “We‘ve enjoyed playing it out the past 6 months and we’re sure any country music fans that run across it on their playlist will, too! It’s a super fun up-tempo song you can spin your lady to on the dance floor or sit back and let the guitar and harmony licks take you back to the days of Diamond Rio & Blackhawk.”
The members of Old Hickory first met in late 2019 and began experimenting with acoustic gigs, backing each other with casual but crystalline harmony and an easy connection. Adopting the Nashville-inspired name Old Hickory, the trio finally made it official in early 2023, starting a popular, twice-weekly gig at the famous Scoreboard Bar & Grill and writing songs for their debut, Tuesday Nights at Scoreboard. The band has performed with Luke Combs and went on the road with Dylan Marlowe last year. They will also be featured for five nights at the upcoming Rodeo in Las Vegas. The band keeps their standing gig at Scoreboard on Tuesday nights, showing their dedication and love for their craft.
ABOUT OLD HICKORY
Blending three unique backgrounds with rich, triple harmony and a modern-organic philosophy, River House Artists’ country group Old Hickory is a brand-new trio with a timeless, all-natural soul, ready to revive one of Nashville’s lost tenants. Comprised of North Carolina’s Andy Austin, Ohio’s Dan Alley, and Kentucky’s Timothy Baker, the three vocalist/guitarists look to the harmony-laced groups country past for inspiration – from Shenandoah and Alabama to Restless Heart and Rascal Flatts – along with Brad Paisley’s electrifying energy and the mystique of bluegrass. Adding it with their own flavor, they are now emerging as a vocal group for a new era. After first meeting in late 2019, the trio began experimenting with acoustic gigs, backing each other with casual but crystalline harmony and an easy connection. Adopting the Nashville-inspired name Old Hickory, the trio finally made it official in early 2023, starting a popular, twice-weekly gig at the famous Scoreboard Bar & Grill and writing songs for an upcoming debut, Tuesday Nights at Scoreboard. Aiming for a refreshing mix of up-tempos anthems, easy-going charmers, and the occasional broken-down ballad – all-embracing the rich warmth of ‘90s country and steeped in harmony – the trio will continue performing in the capital of country music as those original songs take shape.
