Marty O’Neill Keeps the Music Going in New Single 'Play It Again'

Following the release of his debut single, "Stand Right There," folk singer-songwriter Marty O'Neill has released his newest track "Play It Again." The new release stems from his upcoming debut EP releasing April 2022, Stand Right There. With its effortless vocals and acoustic backbone, "Play It Again" is an easy listen that describes the enjoyment of friends' company. Marty shares the track was inspired by a time where he and a group of musician friends were up until the earliest hours of the morning, never wanting the music to stop:

"Imagine two bands playing in your kitchen after a gig. That happened in our kitchen in the summer of 2019. We host a 'house show' each year and Willie Morrison and his band were our 'starving artists' from Nashville. Their fiddle player, Alex Ruiz, and our family friend (and extraordinary banjo player) Levi Austin sat around our kitchen table with the five other members of our band, and we played until the early morning. That's one of the reasons people play music - a community of like-minded musicians jamming! We just kept playing it again. Meant as a fun, upbeat, song a full band should play." - Marty O'Neill
