In a departure from their electrifying riff-rock anthems, Robert Jon & The Wreck have just unveiled “Worried Mind,” the latest single from their highly anticipated album, Red Moon Rising. This introspective track showcases a different facet of the Southern California rockers’ musical prowess, emphasizing vulnerability and the universal need for connection. Set to be released on June 28th via Joe Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records, Red Moon Rising continues to reveal the depth and diversity of the band’s artistry.

“Worried Mind” is an evocative ballad that captures the essence of heartfelt conversations and the importance of sharing one’s fears with others. Co-written with Nashville’s own Austin Jenckes, the song began as a simple acoustic melody, which the band chose to preserve in its recording. “Worried Mind” was a song inspired by how important it is to talk with others about the worries that you may have because when you hold it in, it can become so overwhelming,” shares frontman Robert Jon. Recorded live with three acoustic guitars, harmonica, and Robert Jon’s signature vocals, the song’s production by Kevin Shirley ensures its place as one of the standout tracks on Red Moon Rising, offering a “very bare bones sound compared to the rest of the record.”

The release of “Worried Mind” follows the success of their previous single “Dragging Me Down,” continuing the momentum as Robert Jon & The Wreck embark on their 2024 tour. The band’s evolving sound and dynamic live performances promise to captivate audiences across the globe, from intimate venues to major international festivals. As anticipation builds for the release of Red Moon Rising, “Worried Mind” stands as a testament to the band’s versatility and depth, highlighting the power of music to connect, comfort, and inspire. Join Robert Jon & The Wreck on this intimate musical journey and stay tuned for more updates from their ongoing evolution and the indomitable spirit of rock ‘n’ roll.

Since their debut in 2011, Robert Jon & The Wreck have captivated audiences worldwide, turning the Southern rock sound on its head and making it distinctly their own. With Robert Jon Burrison’s lead vocals and guitar, Andrew Espantman on drums and vocals, Henry James Schneekluth’s lead guitar and vocals, Warren Murrel on bass, and the recent addition of Jake Abernathie on keyboards, the band’s synergy on stage is undeniable. As they embark on this next phase with Red Moon Rising, they invite both long-time followers and new listeners to join in the celebration of their ongoing evolution and the indomitable spirit of rock ‘n’ roll.
