With its “Simpsons Forever” campaign, Disney+ is celebrating fans’ forever love of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie and the service’s comprehensive collection of “The Simpsons” entertainment. The campaign will come to life all year long with on-service content and product updates, special events, social activations, and surprise and delight moments.

Honey Country Releases Double Single "Cry Wolf" and "Ghost Town!" #HoneyCountry

HONEY COUNTY RELEASES DOUBLE SINGLE “CRY WOLF” AND “GHOST TOWN” PREMIERED BY TOWNSQUARE MEDIA’S THE BOOT AND TASTE OF COUNTRY




Honey County released their double single “Cry Wolf” and “Ghost Town” today exclusively premiered by Townsquare Media outlets, The Boot and Taste Of Country. These two singles define the new Honey County as true storytellers, while still staying true to their harmonic roots. Composed of founding member Dani Rose and 2020 addition Sofie Lynn, “Cry Wolf” and “Ghost Town” solidify the duo as a force to be reckoned with. Listen to the double single here.

“As our first release as a duo, we wanted to surprise our fans and bring back the idea of double a-sided singles on vinyl. We loved how ‘Cry Wolf’ and ‘Ghost Town’ fit together,” says Honey County.

“A bold drum beat drives "Cry Wolf," which uses fairytale imagery and its familiar titular expression to express that enough is enough.” - Angela Stefano, The Boot

“Far away tones carve out a moody arrangement for the two women to showcase their storytelling skills.” - Billy Dukes, Taste of Country

“Cry Wolf,” produced by Maks Gabriel and Katelyn Clampett, is the telltale story about that person that comes to you only when they need something. While most might relate it to a romantic relationship, the original idea stemmed from a story about an ex best friend.

Dani Rose and Sofie Lynn wrote “Ghost Town” with Kalie Shorr, Maks Gabriel and Haley Powers to describe how it feels to be left suddenly by someone you love, and haunted by the memories of what you once had. 

Honey County is featured in Nashville Briefing's New Music Roundup, NYCountry Swag's New Country Music playlist and Apple Music's Hot Tracks.


About Honey County:
Rooted in southern storytelling, punctuated by pop hooks, and brushed with California sunshine, Honey County is a harmony-heavy country duo featuring Dani Rose and Sofie Lynn. Formed in Los Angeles, the band also has roots in the Bible Belt and Texas. That diversity is reflected in Honey County's music, a blend of contemporary country and timeless pop/rock that makes room for Nashville twang, West Coast harmonies and everything in between. Rose and Lynn created their own musical landscape: a place where the songs are anthemic, the harmonies are soaring, and two empowered women run the show. It's a sound that's taken Honey County around the world, from international shows in the Middle East and Africa to performances at American festivals like Stagecoach and CMA Fest. Along the way, they've earned raves from Rolling Stone Country, the LA Times and Billboard. Their songs have been featured in NFL commercials, HBO's True Blood, CW's Roswell and three episodes of Yellowstone. Honey County has left its unique mark onstage, on-air and in the recording studio. Fueled by an appreciation for the country artists who've come before them and an appetite for breaking new ground, Honey County is excited to release new music and chase down new horizons.

My thoughts and review:
Two great love stories, one great movie! In the middle of playing games with his girlfriend, Sam, and his brother, Chris becomes unconscious and is taken to the hospital. They tell them that he has a brain bleed some place that caused him to not be able to wake up. Less than 2% of the population have this happen to them. While Chris was dating Sam, he got his driver's license and decided to be an organ donor. Chris saves five lives by donating.

I'm an organ donor, are you?
