There’s a lot going on with The Reklaws with the release of their single, dropping their first live album, and the soon-to-be release of the single’s music video
First, their new single:
Multi-PLATINUM duo The Reklaws are giving fans something to be “honky tonkin’ about” with the release of “Honky Tonkin’ About” feat. international breakout artist Drake Milligan on July 28. Slipping into their country roots with unmistakable southern tones, the new track will deliver the rowdy Reklaws party in a way that traditional country music fans will openly embrace. It was written by Stuart Walker (The Reklaws), Blake Redferrin (Florida Georgia Line), Thomas “Tawgs” Salter (Lights, Josh Groban, Hunter Hayes), and Callum Maudsley. This song came together as the group dreamed of being able to get back into bars and onto stages during widespread lockdowns in 2021.
Jenna Walker says,
“No surprise given the name, “Honky Tonkin’ About” feels a little more western than what you might be used to from The Reklaws, which is why we called in Drake to help out on this one. We’re so excited to have him bring his authentic Texas spirit to what we hope will be this summer’s biggest party anthem.”
Stuart Walker shares,
“We were trying to pull ourselves out of a funk one day during the pandemic so we sat down and thought about what we would want to party to at a honky tonk on a Friday night with our friends. From those daydreams, this song was born.”
Said Drake Milligan,
“I was honoured to get the call to be on my first ever feature with The Reklaws. They are so much fun to work with!”

Second, their live album:
The Reklaws, on July 28, dropped their first live album The Reklaws: Live At History. They are bringing their epic live show into the homes of fans across the country with this album. Reminiscing on their sold-out record-setting show, becoming the first country artists to sell out Toronto’s iconic new venue History earlier this year during their Winter’s a Beach Tour, the album captures all the award-winning pair’s top hits and the unmatched energy of their live show to perfection.

Last, but not least, the upcoming music video for “Honky Tonkin’ About”:
The official music video for the western-inspired new track will premiere next month, taking fans on a wild journey into the depths of an American honky tonk during the 1800s. Featuring appearances from Christopher McDonald (Happy Gilmore), Robert Knepper(Prison Break) andMary-Louise Parker (Weeds) the video was shot on-site in Romania on the set of The Grey House (Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman) with an Oscar award-winning team.
On a side note, earlier this month, the record-setting duo was announced as the hosts for the 2023 CCMA Awards, taking place live from Hamilton, ON, on September 16 and broadcast on CTV. They have also garnered five nominations.
