(July 21, 2023) – Today, Today, multi-platinum recording artist and songwriter Tyler Shaw releases “Driving,” the perfect pop song to complement summer. Listen HERE. The song is accompanied by a music video, with sweeping shots of the perfect road trip. Watch HERE.
Says Tyler, “I was inspired by the totally carefree feeling of hopping in the car with the top down, heading out on adventure in any direction. There’s nothing quite like driving in the summer, and I wanted to write a song that evoked that.”
Written by Tyler, Ari Hicks, and co-written and produced by Derek Hoffman (Arkells, Donovan Woods, Tegan and Sara), “Driving” nods to the classic road trip song and is the perfect soundtrack for summer.
“Driving” sets the stage for a productive fall and winter for Tyler, who will release new music in the fall, with more announcements to come.
