Jeremy Porter and The Tucos, along with GTG Records, announce the release of their new single “Tonight Is Not the Night” b/w “DTW” on 7” limited edition opaque red vinyl! This is The Tucos’ sixth 7” single and their first release since the 3-CD career retrospective Bottled Regrets: The First Ten Years.

The songs were recorded during the Candy Coated Cannonball sessions in the winter of 2020, just before the Covid-19 pandemic shut the music industry and the rest of the world down. Both songs are previously unreleased and will be available initially only on vinyl and digitally through the accompanying download card that will be included with the record.

Jeremy Porter says, "These weren’t exactly leftovers from the Candy Coated Cannonball album, but intentionally set aside for the single. The A-side, “Tonight Is Not the Night” was played live a few times leading up to the recording of that record. It’s your standard Tucos midwestern-powerpop-heartbreak song, and the B-Side, “DTW” is our twangy/honkytonk-instrumental answer to Rush’s “YYZ,” played live more often than not these days. We worked it up as the theme song for an animated series in 2019 that never got off the ground, so it needed a home!"

Cover art is the painting “A Slight Change of Plans” by long-time friend Nick Walters, from Lexington, Kentucky. “Nick’s a good friend from way back, when we first went to Lexington. He’s an amazing artist, and I saw this painting and couldn’t stop staring at it. It just captures such a great image that goes along with the songs and also stays consistent with our other 7” records that all use illustrations and paintings for cover art.” Each 7” includes a hand-silkscreened insert and a download card.

The 7” will be released on September 9th, 2022 and supported on the Tucos’ Fall Tour across the eastern and southern US and Canada. Pre-orders start August 12th and will ship in advance of the release.
