Multi-genre and multi-platinum hitmaker, Uncle Kracker has returned with his new single, “Sweet 16” today. Weaving the infectious melodies and clever lyricism he’s always been known for, the new song was written by Matthew Shafer (Uncle Kracker), Marlon Young, Frederick L. Beauregard and Herschel Boone. Listen to it now below.
“‘Sweet 16’ is about growing up,” says Uncle Kracker. “It’s life and love in America in all of its glory as I’ve seen it unravel around me. I’ve been lucky to witness it on multiple levels and even luckier to be able to write about it, so watching this single finally roll out is a breath of fresh air. Been a while.”
Always active on the road, Uncle Kracker performed yesterday at CMA Fest and will do so again today on the Dr. Pepper Amp Stage before hitting the highway for headlining dates, in addition to a run with ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd for the “Sharp Dressed Simple Man” tour that kicks off on July 21. Tickets are available now.
