Bexar plans for major label debut
A nod to the phonetic spelling of the band name, the EP was produced by Ross Copperman and Luke Laird and features six tracks.
"This project is the cumulation of years of work and persistence by our whole team," said the band. "These songs mean the world to us. We feel like they are a true representation of who we are as musicians and more importantly as people."
Bexar released "Key To Life." Cowritten by the band's Chris Ryan alongside Barry Dean and Luke Laird, the banjo-filled song provides a glimpse into the blend of Kentucky bluegrass and Texas country. "Key To Life" follows the release of "One Day" and "Again," the band's first major label song.
Two weeks after the release of the EP, they will join Keith Urban on "Keith Urban Live – Las Vegas" from Sept. 17-25 at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
Bexar draws inspiration from groups such as Mumford & Sons, The Avett Brothers and Avicii. The band is comprised of Chris Ryan (lead vocals/guitar) and Logan Turner (vocals/banjo/guitar), The name comes from Bexar County, Texas, where Ryan spent much of his childhood. They self-released an EP in 2018.
