Shawn Lane of supergroup Blue Highway is releasing a solo single called "One More"  on Friday, July 31.  The song penned by Shawn Lane and Ronnie Bowman is Shawn's third single from his upcoming album on Cat Town Music, "Shawn Lane: Family & Friends." 

The new single features Shawn on guitar and lead vocals, sons Grayson and Garrett Lane on harmony vocals, Gaven Largent on Dobro, and GRAMMY Award winner Barry Bales on bass.   

Of the single, Shawn writes: 

"One common thread we all share in this journey of life that we’re on is that we will be knocked down to the ground several times, by several different things. When that happens, we have two choices: either to stay down, or to get back up. This song is about getting back up, no matter how hard it may seem. With God's help, you can, and it'll sure feel good when you do. I was proud to get the opportunity to write “One More” with one of my best friends, Ronnie Bowman. I hope this song helps someone who may be down to get back up again."

Shawn Lane is a three-time GRAMMY Nominee and 28-time IBMA Award winner with Blue Highway.  As explosive on fiddle as he is on mandolin and guitar, Lane is a heralded instrumentalist, vocalist, and songwriter. Shawn was nominated as 2015 IBMA Songwriter of the Year, and has written multiple #1 hits for the 25-year strong supergroup he co-founded, Blue Highway.  Notably, he also penned his first solo single “I Met the Man,” which topped the Bluegrass Today Gospel Chart at #1 for 7 weeks and spent 28 weeks in the chart's Top 10 in 2018.

The new single will premiere on radio on Friday, July 31, including on Bluegrass Junction with Kyle Cantrell which airs on Sirius XM channel 62 @ 7:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. ET.
