Butch Walker will follow up his Ryan Adams-produced LP Afraid of Ghosts with Stay Gold due out on August 26 via Dangerbird. Walker will also hit the road for a supporting tour beginning August 17 in Orlando.

“After coming out of the AOG album cycle and tour where, at the risk of sounding ridiculous, I spent a lot of time on stage bawling my eyes out,” Walker said of the previous album written about the death of his father. “I felt a very calm sense of peace. Like I’d done what I needed to do to get it outta my system. Every song that came after that was almost a nostalgic, celebratory…for lack of a better word – ‘jam.’”

Walker also premiered the first single from the record, “East Coast Girl,” available to stream below.
