Native Bartian Jack Settle has released a new song available on streaming platforms worldwide.

 

Jack Settle's newest single, "Prairie Land," offers a glimpse into the Oklahoma way of life in which Settle was raised. 

 

Jack Settle wrote Prairie Land while experiencing a "creative high" on the day after he attended Turnpike Troubadours' comeback show at Cain's Ballroom. Jack sat atop his beloved Suzanne The Minivan parked in the Tallgrass Prairie of Osage County, just outside of his hometown. As Jack overlooked the prairie, the song flowed out of his mind. The result of his introspection reflects Settle's love for the prairie land he calls home despite his wandering soul.

 

The track features Neil Jones of American Aquarium on steel and fiddler Oliver Bates-Craven, a member of Sierra Ferrell’s road band.

 

Born in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, Jack Settle discovered his love of music at an early age and has clung to it through thick and thin. 

 

Appearing on COMMUNITY CONNECTION in 2021, Jack told us a life-changing event. He said he woke up one morning to the effects of an unknown virus that attacked his right ear and left his hearing impaired. Jack said the at that moment, decided that he would pursue his dream of being a musician while he still had a chance to hear the melodies ring loud. 

 

Settle’s dream took him all the way to Nashville, Tennessee, where he is beginning to carve out his own path as a songwriter and musician. 

 

Jack Settle definitely has all the tools. He blessed with arich baritone voice and impressive guitar skills, whether solo or with his five-piece band, Settle always delivers.

 

When asked what he hopes listeners take away from his music, Settle says, “I want people to understand me through my music, and I want them to feel understood. Music is a great reflection of human life, and life is more than just one emotion. I want people to laugh, then maybe shed a tear on the next song.”
