Genre-bending duo, The Reklaws, announce their all-new single “11 Beers” feat. nine-time No. 1, multi-PLATINUM entertainer and Big Loud Recording artist Jake Owen available everywhere today. Known for bringing a ‘time of your life’ party to every stage they step onto, the brother / sister duo comprised of Jenna and Stuart Walker, have turned this hopeful love song into Country’s next party anthem.
Written by Nashville heavy-hitters Ashley Gorley (Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Thomas Rhett), Michael Hardy (Blake Shelton, Florida Georgia Line, Chris Lane, Cole Swindell), Ben Johnson (Charlie Puth, Lee Brice ) and Hunter Phelps (Florida Georgia Line, Dustin Lynch), the track transports listeners back to the wistful optimism after a great first date and then watching it slip away before the last drink.
“We know our fans are going to relate to this track because we’ve all lived through losing something before we felt it was finished,” explained The Reklaws’ Jenna Walker. “We’re so honored that Jake Owen, an artist we’ve partied to and been inspired by since he changed all of our lives with ‘Barefoot Blue Jean Night,’ agreed to join us on it and bring his signature easy-going, breezy melodies to take this fun love song over the top.”
Together the trio has delivered an anthem full of potential. Taking the listener back to memories of the one that got away, “11 Beers” is slated to become yet another massive hit for the incredibly deserving sibling duo.
“We wanted to do something a bit different for our next single, but it still needed to feel like us,” said Stuart Walker. “As soon as Jake sent this song over, we could already hear our fans singing it back to us on festival stages this summer, which is always the most important part. ‘11 Beers’ will have couples reminiscing on their first dates while tapping their toes to that four-on-the-floor beat – something not every Country song is able to do!”
2021 was a record-setting year for The Reklaws. Known for breaking the mold, the pair went viral on TikTok last year with their hit “What the Truck,” which was the most streamed Canadian Country song ever released during a one-week period and the fastest-ever Canadian Country song to go GOLD in the streaming era (under 16 weeks). Last year also saw the pair land six 2021 CCMA Awards nominations, making them the most nominated artists for 2021, where the pair took home two monumental wins forGroup or Duo of the Year and Top Selling Canadian Single (“Can’t Help Myself” with Dean Brody). Continuing the momentum, The Reklaws landed two 2022 JUNO Awards nominations for Group or Duo of the Year – the only Country act nominated in the category for the third straight year – and for Country Album of the Year.
No stranger to success, The Reklaws have taken the world by storm since their debut in 2018 with the PLATINUM-certified single “Long Live the Night.” The brother/–sister duo from rural Ontario currently hold two No.1’s at Canadian Radio (“Feels Like That,” “Can’t Help Myself” with Dean Brody), six GOLD and two PLATINUM singles as well as a GOLD-certified debut album (Freshman Year). They also hold four of the top 20 streamed singles by Canadian Country artists since 2019 (more than any other artist) and have the most domestically streamed debut album in Canadian Country history. With 234M+ global streams since their breakout debut just a few years ago, it’s evident that The Reklaws are doing things differently and the world is taking notice.
