As an actor, I love dialogue that sounds authentic. Maybe that’s why sometimes when I’m writing lyrics, I like to try and just…say them. Try some of your favorite songs. There are definitely exceptions that veer towards the abstract, but in general all my favorite writers have lyrics that sound super conversational - like something someone would say. If these lyrics speak to you then be sure to go pre-save my debut album at the LINK IN MY PROFILE because “Make You Happy” drops THIS FRIDAY! #SayT

DOWN THE ROAD is the penultimate track on my debut album LOVE AIN’T PRETTY. I wrote it with my friends, @ericpaslay and @dylanaltmanmusic, and from the very beginning, I could tell it was special. Whether I played it acoustically in a small round at @bluebirdcafetn, with an electric guitar and a stomp box on the road, or with a full band behind me at the @opry, it had an energy and a message that always seemed to connect with the crowd. This was never more true than when my cast and tourmates @c

Deep into pre-production of my debut album, I wrote LOVE AIN’T PRETTY with my producer Marshall Altman and our friend the great Jimmy Yeary. Before we’d even finished, I knew it would be our title track - because it encompasses so much of what the other songs were already saying in that single phrase. “Love ain’t pretty, but damn it’s beautiful..” | Charles Esten

Whenever I’m performing in a venue, I like to go to the topmost seats to see what those folks will be seeing. I did that at the gorgeous @benedumcenter during the orchestra rehearsal the night before we opened THE MUSIC MAN. I just happened to start videoing at the PERFECT moment as our amazing musical director @neumayerbobby was conducting our incredible orchestra! What a joy it’s been to perform with these incredibly talented musicians. #themusicman @pittsburghclo #pittsburgh | Charles Esten

It’s hard to believe it’s been 11 years since 'The Lights of Graceland' was released. Singing it with the incredible SixWire backstage at the @Grand Ole Opry brought back all the memories of that first recording and the timeless charm of Graceland at Christmas. Grateful for these moments and all of you who’ve made this song a part of your holidays. ✨ #CharlesEsten #Opry #Christmas
