Nick Cain has today released his new video for the track titled ‘One More For The Road’. To say this is a country song is a misnomer of epic proportions. It’s not, at least to me anyway. It’s an homage to a life experience. Musically, there are country leanings, but not enough to sway those who go out of their way to avoid it because they love to say that they hate country. This is a musically accessible track meant for the masses and recorded for the ones that never got away.

Touching on that certain experience that we’ve all had but never talk about, either because we’re too embarrassed or never learned anything from it, ‘One More For The Road’ feels its way through the lyrics and listens to the heart for that queue to give you that feel moment, leaving your arm hair standing on end.

About ‘One More for the Road’

Opening with melodic guitar, Nick Cain’s resonant vocals call upon memories of finally holding the gaze of the woman he has waited for. This anticipated experience is relatable for anyone who has thought to themselves, “I’ve asked you out 100 times, you had excuses for the 99,” as he phrased in this single. Cain’s remarks, mixed with a sentimental undertone, create an honest and uplifting summer anthem. This track transports listeners to sentimental stolen moments spent with loved ones. “I wrote this song thinking about those feelings you can’t shake, that person who’s always been in the back of your mind, and the hope that maybe this time, they’ll stay a little longer,” says Cain. With production by Brandon Bell (Brandi Carlie, Dierks Bentley, Zac Brown Band), this ballad showcases moments of opportunity that come with flawless timing.

Nick Cain jumpstarted his career in country music at 39, after making the fateful decision to begin playing guitar and writing his own songs. The idea to forge a music career began for Cain when attending the Watershed Music Festival at The Gorge Amphitheater in George, WA. After this weekend of inspiration and the pause the pandemic placed on his real estate career, it was the perfect time and opportunity to unleash creativity. Despite his untraditional entrance into this industry, Cain has tremendous drive and passion for creating music with purpose.

With a predominant focus on his various life experiences, his music features authentic stories of heartbreak, family, and enjoyable experiences. His background in business and hard labor has also contributed to his success as the owner of a live music venue in Washington. This position has allowed him to tap into other musicians’ journeys by providing a professional stage for artists to perform, collaborate, and share their craft. Capitalizing on these same themes of time and opportunity, Cain delivers “One More For The Road,” following singles “Out Of The Blue” and “Pumping On The Heartbreaks,” which received praise from Wide Open Country, Americana Highways, and Holler.

About Nick Cain

At 39 years old, Nick Cain’s life took an unplanned but welcome detour that changed everything he knew about passion and determination. It began at The Gorge in Eastern Washington, at a country music fest – Watershed – that strummed the strings of his heart just as much as those of the guitar he would pick up following the event in 2019. With no musical background to speak of, Nick dove headfirst into the melodies and rhythms of country music, dedicating every possible moment to self-taught sessions that echoed through the basement of his home.

His regular life as a real estate developer was put on a pause by the Covid-19 pandemic, a break that proved to be a silver lining for Nick’s budding musical aspirations. With building permits on hold, his basement became a sanctuary where he nurtured his newfound love for music, strumming and studying with relentless enthusiasm.

The year-long confinement cultivated in him a desire not just to play guitar, but also to sing and craft his songs. His unyielding resolve led him to Los Angeles, where he had the good fortune of being mentored by celebrity voice coach Roger Love. It was Love who introduced Nick to the acclaimed songwriter Drew Lawrence. “Spending a week with Roger was a pivotal moment. Writing with Drew has been a great match.” Nick reflects on the experience that escalated his journey into the realms of music creation.
