Country duo Dugger Band is kicking off the New Year with a powerful and timely uptempo new single, “True Colors.” Co-written with Nashville tunesmiths Jesse Felder and Kris Crepeau, the song was produced by multi-award-winning recording artist John Rich(Big & Rich) at the renowned Sound Stage Studios in Nashville.”
“True Colors” is an anthem of American pride, celebrating the strength that comes from embracing one’s true identity. With its mix of soulful vocals, gritty instrumentation, and heartfelt country storytelling, the song captures the essence of resilience and pride that defines the American spirit. Dugger Band’s deep patriotism, commitment to freedom, and profound love for their country and family are woven into every note, making it a timeless anthem for listeners of all generations. Inspired by the service of their great-grandfathers during World War II, as well as the current state of America, “True Colors” is resonating with fans across the country.
Already generating buzz, “True Colors” is slated for early features and airplay on major platforms, including Radio SoBro’s NuMu Friday (12 p.m. & 4:30 p.m. CST), Breakin’ Indies Countdown airing on KICKIN’ KOUNTRY 101 on iHeartRadio (Feb. 1 & 2 at 6 p.m. EST), and an upcoming episode of Jimmy Bowen & Friends, a TV music series reaching over 200 million households, set to air in April. The track is poised to make waves in the country music scene and beyond, further establishing Dugger Band as a duo to watch. “True Colors” is now available on all digital and streaming platforms.
“This song is very special to me and I believe that it’s the perfect time to release it with everything that is happening in America today. There are a lot of people that are tired of being told that they are wrong for loving this country and we want to be a voice that says patriotism is not only acceptable, but necessary to be able to keep the freedoms that so many men and women have fought for since this country was founded nearly 250 years ago. I believe that the United States is the greatest country on earth and I’ve never been prouder to be an American,” reflects Seth Dugger.
“Our great granddads served in World War II. I got to hear their stories growing up about all the things they went through. Their sacrifice and the sacrifice of countless others helped inspire our new song “True Colors”. I’m proud to be an American and fully believe freedom is worth fighting for,” adds Jordan Dugger.
“I see you looking down while I’m looking up
You’re just sitting there sipping on that Starbucks cup
Hating on everything, not doing anything
I crank up some Toby Keith, climb back in my truck
And it don’t matter where the chips may fall
That Statue of Liberty will be standing tall
The best part about the land of the free
Is if you don’t like it, you’re free to leave
But I ain’t leaving here
I’m an 8th generation
God-fearingm blue-collar, with the flag waving
And I don’t wait for the 4th of July
It’s year round, life long, American Pride
And right here right now, I’m drawing the line
If this country ain’t something you can stand behind
Then that’s the difference ‘tween me and you
Cause my true colors are
Red, white, and blue
Yeah my pappy served in that Second World War
I ain’t ever giving up all that he fought for
And if you’re coming here, aiming to take what we got
We gonna fight, fight, fight go on and take your shot…”
The Duggers posted a video from John Rich where he had this to say about his good friends, “I got to know these guys a couple of years ago. I was really impressed with their talent, their patriotism, and their musicianship. These guys are the real deal all the way around. They had a great song called ‘True Colors’about our country and how great She is and asked me if I would come produce this record for them. I said yes, I will do that so I came to the studio, we spent the whole day, had a great time, got the greatest musicians in town and recorded this song. ‘True Colors,’ I think it is an anthem for our country. Hit the link in this post, go download the song support these guys, they’re the real deal and I’m proud to be a part of it. God Bless you, and God Bless America.” Watch it HERE.
