Country Duo Southerland to Release Second EP on April 21st
_____ “ _____
This EP is a long time coming,” says Southerland. “Since our last collective release we have been working really hard in the writers room and in the studio to capture the magic of who Southerland is and wants to be. We can’t wait for fans to hear it. It’s one we can truly hang our hat on.

Southerland is a long-term duo that’s just getting started, and they fit in perfectly with today’s radio landscape thanks to the same sturdy foundation that has supported decades of the finest in country music.
The highly awaited six-song self-titled EP from Matt Chase and Chris Rogers’ Southerland, a duo that seems tailor-made for country music, is set to drop on April 21. The EP includes two new songs, “Three Minutes” and “Ain’t For Me,” which are comparable to early Dierks or a young Jason Aldean in stature and potential.
The EP is a comprehensive representation of their songwriting breadth and performance variety when combined with their four most recent singles, “Down The Road,” “Underpaid and Overserved,” “Ice Cold Country Music,” and “World Without You.” It hits like excellent country music should, to put it simply.
