Callie McCullough is excited to share new single, “What If I Don’t” on September 8
Having recently teamed up with GRAMMY-nominated producer, Dave Brainard (Brandy Clark, Jamey Johnson, Jerrod Niemann), Callie McCullough will showcase a whole new side of her artistry on Friday, September 8, with the sassy, fun, and whimsical “What If I Don’t.” Penned by Callie and Scotty Kipfer, “What If I Don’t” marks her first release since 2021.
A modern singer/songwriter inspired by timeless classics and old-school country music; Callie McCullough has chased her own unique muse for years making contemporary roots music that nods to the legends who came before her. It’s a sound anchored in honest storytelling and McCullough’s angelic voice, whose Alison Krauss-worthy tone and Dolly Parton-sized beauty stand in contrast to her dry humor and larger-than-life personality.
“What If I Don’t” playfully challenges the expectations of marriage, having babies, making money, and the notion of getting older — asking all the “what if’s” with a wink and a nod. An official music video personifying that light-hearted humor will follow the single release on Tuesday, September 19.
As Callie explains,
“You hit a certain age and it feels like there’s pressure coming from every direction that it’s time to settle down. It’s all stories of the biological clock, running out of time, and being afraid of getting older… I for one think getting older is going to be a blast and I can’t wait to continue doing whatever the hell I want for the rest of my life.”
Banjo, dobro, and harmonica give us grassy textures woven together by handclaps, drums, loose grooves, and three-part harmonies on “What If I Don’t.” All led by McCullough’s vivacious personality and angelic voice, this infectious and downright refreshing sound is a taste of what we can expect in her forthcoming collection of new music.
