Teddy and the Rough Riders are ready to make a boisterous return to the music scene. The country rock band featuring Jack Quiggins and Ryan Jennings are set to release their new album, Down Home, on October 11. It will serve as the highly anticipated follow-up to the group’s 2022 self-titled LP that was produced by Margo Price. To give fans a taste of what Down Home is going to sound like, Teddy and the Rough Riders have shared the album’s lead single, “’Catfish Summer,” a rollicking anthem for good times during the hot months.

“This one is about visiting my mom’s side of the family who lived in Rockmart, Georgia,” Jennings disclosed in a statement about the new single. “But instead, my mom dropped me and my cousin off at my uncle Bubba’s house for a few weeks.” Uncle Bubba’s “hillbilly shack” had a catfish pond close by, which gives the wistful song its inspiration. Following the release of Down Home, the band will play a few shows around Texas, Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia to close out October. (Holler)
