Nashville Duo Marks American Independence Day with the Launch of Their UK Tour and the Release of Their New Anthem, ‘Happy Hour Driveway,’ Out June 20th
Beloved Nashville-based husband-and-wife country duo Arbor North are set to soundtrack summer with their nostalgic new single, ‘Happy Hour Driveway,’ released on 20th June across all streaming platforms.
Inspired by the block parties that raised them in the 80s and 90s, ‘Happy Hour Driveway’ captures the warm, nostalgic spirit of an all-American neighbourhood gathering – complete with coolers brimming with cold ones and the irresistible scent of charcoal grills. Blending a classic country foundation with a generous dash of 80s pop shimmer, the single promises to be the ultimate feel-good summer ear-worm of 2025.
Built on catchy guitar riffs, retro synths, and Arbor North’s trademark Nashville production polish, the track is designed to transport listeners back to simpler, joyful days. It’s a golden-hour anthem perfect for dancing barefoot on the lawn long after the streetlights flicker on. Whether blasting through your boombox or pouring from your car speakers with windows down, ‘Happy Hour Driveway’ isn’t just a song – it’s a vibe.
Comprising acclaimed solo artist AC Jones and seasoned musician Michael Boris (formerly of country trio Lockeland), Arbor North brings a unique fusion of modern country, Americana storytelling, and rock-driven energy. Individually accomplished, Jones and Boris boast multiple hits on the Music Row and Billboard Country charts, and have shared stages with legends such as Blake Shelton, Marty Stuart, Tim McGraw, and Luke Bryan.
The duo captured global attention with their viral hit ‘You, Me and Jesus,’ amassing over 1.7 million views on YouTube and surpassing 750,000 streams on Spotify, cementing their reputation for resonant, heartfelt storytelling.
For Arbor North, the UK holds a special place in their hearts, becoming one of their favourite touring destinations. “The UK feels like a second home to us,” says AC Jones. “We feel truly connected with the audiences here, and have made some great friends along the way!.”
