The Washboard Union kick off 2024 with their new single “Neon Needs The Night”
JUNO and 9X CCMA award-winning band The Washboard Union, composed of step-brothers Aaron Grain, Chris Duncombe, and their best friend David Roberts, have not only carved their place as one of Canada’s top country bands, they have released their new love song “Neon Needs The Night” via Universal Music Canada on January 12. It’s the fourth track of new material from the band’s new collection of songs.
“Neon Needs The Night” was written by the band, along with their producer, friend, and co-writer Dave “Dwave” Thomson (Lady A, High Valley), and is a love song that makes you want to drive with the top down on a desert highway with the warm wind in your hair and that special someone by your side. It speaks to the idea that sometimes you simply can’t live or won’t function without each other. This mid-tempo track is a nod to classic ’90s country and marks a bit of a departure from what some people might expect from the band.
Chris Duncombe shares,
“Some things don’t just belong together, they need each other. It’s like you can’t have one without the other because it just doesn’t work. “Neon Needs the Night” is a love song about how the best part of you comes alive when it finds the person you were meant for. It was a song we had been playing a lot backstage in warmups so it came really easy when it was time to record it with Dwave Thomson who co-wrote the song and produced it with us as well.”
