• Spotlighting Blood Harmonies And Pointed Lyrics, Musical Monologue Chronicles The Good Place Amidst A Bad Break-up •

Friday April 25, 2025 NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Contemporary country breakout vocal group, Daves Highway, defined by its exceptional harmonies and introspective lyrics, has announced the release of its new single, “Happy To Be Sad."*The original recording, written by the Daves siblings (Delaney, Zach and Erika Daves) alongside Bill DiLuigi and Jude Toy, and produced by Geoff Sprung (bassist for award-winning, seven-time ACM and CMA Vocal GroupOld Dominion),is AVAILABLE NOW (preferred music platform) under the Good Company Ent. Records imprint.   Characterized by blood harmonies, melancholic vocals and picturesque storytelling, the musical monologue, "Happy To Be Sad" flows like a page from a personal diary chronicling moments and memories caught betwixt happiness and delusion, and the back and forth between holding on and letting go.Pointed lyrics ("can't be good to want somebody that bad,""...between gone for good and good as it gets") are the highlight of the "so long, good-bye" break-up song. The tick-tock clock rhythm beat keeps time to drive the direction. "The song and the sentiment came from a real personal place. It's about the muddling through and making it," introduced Daves Highway master guitarist, Zach Daves. “You know you have to go through the hard moments to realize you weren't in a good place; and to get there, you just gotta experience it,” said bassist Delaney Daves.“...where it finally feels good to be on the other side of the end of a relationship as the final destination – a better 'place',” added Daves Highway lead singer, and youngest sister, Erika Daves. The production showcases smooth yet soaring elements of the magical three-part, spirit-to-spirit vocals drawing listeners into the illustrative narrative of love, loss and moving on.   The lead single from Daves Highway waterfall series, "Happy To Be Sad" sets the landscape as an early introduction to the band's fifth album,IF YOU ASKED ME, featuring five original tunes and the trio’s interpretation of Martina McBride’s iconic hit ballad “Anyway” anticipated in August 2025.

Daves Highway is an intertwined, free-spirited breath of fresh air making a difference one song, and three harmonies, at a time.

The band name is family lineage derived early on when Zach (guitar), Delaney (bass), and Erika (lead vocals) traveled across the country as youngsters. The clan's shared passion for music, "together is better" philosophy, and unwavering "all or nothing" gumption, forms a tightly-knit bond in mutual trust and genuine friendship. Yet, each brings their own unique, individual talents to the assembly.
