LANCO ANNOUNCES DEBUT ALBUM HALLELUJAH NIGHTS
AVAILABLE JANUARY 19
Band’s First No. 1 Single “Greatest Love Story” Already GOLD In Canada
Frontman Brandon Lancaster Credited for Penning All 11 Tracks on HALLELUJAH NIGHTS
NASHVILLE, TN – Nov. 27, 2017 – Rooted in the southern storytelling of Country music with the modern punch of rock & roll, HALLELUJAH NIGHTS (Arista Nashville) serves as LANCO’s coming-of-age debut album, out January 19th. Equal parts nostalgic and forward-thinking, lead singer Brandon Lancaster wrote all eleven songs and found success breathing new life into universal themes. Simultaneously, LANCO’s first-ever No. One “Greatest Love Story” reigns at the top of the Billboard Country Airplay chart for its second consecutive week in the U.S., while the GOLD hit also claims the top spot on the Mediabase Country Airplay chart today. HALLELUJAH NIGHTS is available for pre-order today in a limited edition bundle through Sony Nashville here (http://smarturl.it/lancohnalbumd2c) and beginning Friday (12/01), will be available for pre-order at all retail partners.
“We all go through more of the same experiences than we realize and songwriting is a process of observing those moments,” said Lancaster. “Our stories have different people, different names, different places, but they all have the same emotions attached to them. It’s not fantasy-related. To me, this album is about glorifying the reality of life.”

LANCO’s story begins in the small towns where all five bandmates — Lancaster, bassist Chandler Baldwin, multi-instrumentalist Jared Hampton, drummer Tripp Howell and lead guitarist Eric Steedly — were raised. Spread across Tennessee, Kentucky and Georgia, they lived normal lives full of late nights, long weekends, hard lessons and young love. Alongside award-winning producer Jay Joyce, LANCO focused on capturing the spirit of their exuberant live shows, sharing the same goal to make everything sound authentic and human. If a particular song didn’t click, LANCO would take it on the road and perform the new tune every night until things fell into place.

LANCO’s authentic style has resonated with fans throughout their self-titled debut EP, which can already count more than 100 million streams. “Shaking up the Country charts” with “his confessional style lyrics” (Entertainment Weekly), Brandon Lancaster takes credit as the sole writer behind their No. One GOLD hit “Greatest Love Story,” marking the first time in over ten years an artist’s first ‘No. One’ has been solely written by the artist. Simultaneously, it reaches No. One on Billboard’s Emerging Artist Chart ending Dua Lipa’s six-week reign at the top spot on the all-genre chart. Named as “the band to watch” by Bobby Bones, CMT, Entertainment Weekly, Hits Magazine, Pandora, Rolling Stone, Spotify and more, LANCO gained their status from touring the country’s top festivals including Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Watershed, Faster Horses and more. LANCO is currently on the road supporting Dustin Lynch’s THE RIDE OR DIE TOUR and will head out in January for Chris Young’s LOSING SLEEP WORLD TOUR.
