"Somethin' Bout A Bar" is more than just a song—it’s a full-throttle country experience packed with energy, grit, and the spirit of Nashville.
Casey Savage’s journey to creating "Somethin' Bout A Bar" is a testament to both talent and serendipity. Recorded in Tennessee in her producer’s personal studio, this track carries a piece of Nashville's rich musical legacy. Before it became her creative space, this very studio was known as The Rukkus Room Recording Studio, owned by award-winning producer Jamie Tate. A name synonymous with excellence, Tate has worked with country powerhouses like Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton, Miranda Lambert, and Luke Combs, among many others. To record in a space where so many legends have left their mark was an honor for Casey, making this single even more special.
Bringing authenticity to the track, Casey infused the recording process with an element that sets it apart by using real bar sounds. Wanting listeners to feel transported straight into a honky-tonk, she invited her closest friends into the studio to capture spontaneous cheers, laughter, and playful banter. Their lively background contributions, including the unmistakable southern drawl of one friend delivering lines like "Alright, come on y’all!" and "Lord, I’m gonna need help in the morning," give the song an irresistible, lived-in charm.
The magic of "Somethin' Bout A Bar" extends beyond the music itself. The song’s inception happened in a writing session inside the same studio room where Florida Georgia Line's breakout hit "Cruise" was penned. In a moment of creative spontaneity, Casey named the track on the spot, with her team instantly recognizing it as the perfect fit.
"We sat in a small room in a large studio that we recorded out of at the time in Nashville, Tennessee, the exact room where the song ‘Cruise’ was written actually. The team then asked me ‘What do you want to call this song, Casey?’ and I replied with ‘Ummm, I’m not sure… it’ll be somethin’ bout a bar though.’ And they both looked at me and said, ‘Actually, that’s a great name for the song!’ So then, in that moment, ‘Somethin’ Bout A Bar’ was born."
Casey’s path to Nashville itself was built on a leap of faith. Hailing from Brisbane, Australia, she submitted a song she had written, "Nashville Come and Get Me," to a prestigious Nashville studio in 2023. Expecting little, she was stunned when an email arrived the very next day inviting her to come record. Within moments, a lifelong dream was set into motion, and Casey found herself surrounded by some of the best producers and musicians in the industry.
While Casey draws inspiration from countless country artists, her approach to songwriting is uniquely her own. She carefully curates the energy and emotion of each track, shaping them into experiences that resonate with listeners on a deeply personal level. "Somethin' Bout A Bar" isn’t just about a night out, it’s a celebration of the friendships, memories, and unexpected moments that make Nashville’s bar scene so legendary. Through electrifying vocals, immersive production, and an unmistakable passion for storytelling, Casey Savage proves she’s an artist with much to bring to the industry
