UK fan favourite, Charles Esten has released his new single ‘Sweet Summer Saturday Night.’
Last weekend, Charles Esten released his brand new summer single with fans – ‘Sweet Summer Saturday Night’ (listen here). Having been scheduled to play the main stage at the postponed C2C Festival in the UK & Ireland earlier this year, Esten has been performing weekly Quarantine Live Stream concerts to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, as part of his ongoing work with Light The Night in honour of his daughter Addie, who survived leukemia when she was 2 1/2 years old and will celebrate her 21st birthday this October. Esten and Team Addie have raised over $1m for LLS to date.
Discussing the new track, he said: “As we near the end of a summer that wasn’t very sweet, this song is a musical memory of those summer Saturday nights that were.” It follows his previous single ‘A Road And A Radio’ and as the name says offers a laidback summer singalong track that brings back the Esten that fans fell in love with on Nashville.
Esten is currently starring as Ward Cameron in the new Netflix hit series Outer Banks, which premiered in April 2020 and has been renewed for a second season. He also appeared along with Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves, Garth Brooks and more in the Bluebird movie, released to stream in the UK earlier this month. As he told GQ last year, the first time he went to Nashville he had agreed twice to sing at the famous venue, but “even though I had bought tickets, both times I had to cancel because of acting jobs.” Eventually, one of the first scenes he filmed as lead character Deacon Claybourne on the Nashville TV show was “sitting in the round in the actual Bluebird with a great country star Pam Tillis across from me and on the other side of the room was Hayden Panettiere playing Juliette Barnes.”
The new single, ‘Sweet Summer Saturday Night‘ is out now to stream/download worldwide.
