Nashville, TN (June 21, 2024)…BoomTown Saints are celebrating the success of their second consecutive #1 hit, “Good Day To Get Gone,” on CDX’s True Indie Chart while watching the single climb the mainstream country charts. On June 21, 2024, 8 Track Entertainment/Warner-ADA will release “American Dream,” a token of thanks to fans for allowing the duo to live out their “American Dream.” Available on all digital service providers, check out the visualizer/lyric video for the new song posted below
“American Dream” was co-written by the duo’s Chris Ramos and Ben Chism, and noted tunesmiths James LeBlanc and Phillip White. The track was produced by Grammy-winning engineer Noah Gordon and producer Gary Kraen.
“We were privileged to be able to write this song with our buddies James Leblanc and Phillip White in the legendary Fame Studios,” said Chris Ramos. “The song is about the little things that make up the American dream. The American dream is not about having an expensive car and huge home, but about being able to have a job and come home to your family at night. It’s having the freedom to chase crazy dreams. It’s having the ability to see your family prosper even if you aren’t of significant financial means. We hope this song captures the feelings that make us feel blessed in our own lives.”
“When I first heard ‘American Dream,’ I knew that Ben and Chris had co-written something very special,” commented co-producer Noah Gordon. “It sounded so good, I just wanted to hear it again..I hope Country Music lovers feel the same.”
Co-producer Gary Kraen added, “American Dream” has always been one of my favorites. It perfectly encapsulates the amazing journey we’ve been on with Chris and Ben. The “American Dream” is alive and we are all living it.”
Named Music Row Magazine’s “Independent Artist of the Year 2024,” BoomTown Saints rocked the Chevy Vibes stage at CMA Music Fest this year on June 9. They also spent time meeting fans in the Music City Center at the CMA booth. The duo has a packed summer tour schedule performing coast to coast.
“American Dream”
“Two kids in a little town
A little square to circle ’round
Two stars in the summer sky
Fallin’ hard in each other’s eyes
Lot of road in front of us
Leavin’ yesterday in the dust
Got the world by the tail
Summer wind in our sails
We are Jack an’ Diane
Johnny an’ June
Waylon an’ Jesse
Shootin’ for the moon
We are living breathing proof,
Of what loves supposed to do,
What it means to let freedom ring
We are the American Dream
High School in the Rearview
Chasin’ down a dream or two
Take a shot, take our chance
Destination promise land…”

About BoomTown Saints:
Listed amongst a handful of new artists in 2023 in Billboard’s “What’s New in the New Year,” BoomTown Saints has been winning over audiences nationwide since releasing their debut single, “All Trucks Go To Heaven.” The duo hit #1 on the CDX True Indie Chart with two songs; “Blacktop Don’t” (which also appeared on Billboard’s National Country Radio Activator chart) and “Good Day To Get Gone.”
Named Music Row Magazine’s “Independent Artist of the Year 2024,” BoomTown Saints (Chris Ramos and Ben Chism) has been embraced by such noted media outlets as Billboard, Music Row Magazine, Music Connection Magazine, Grammy.com, Women’s World, CMT.com, The Country Network, Taste of Country and others. They released their self-titled debut EP in August 2023.
The duo paths first crossed at a gig when they were both performing as solo artists. An immediate synergy between the two quickly developed and led to the formation of BoomTown Saints in 2018. The two initially pursued careers outside of music — Chris, as a healthcare consultant climbing the corporate ladder in the pharmaceutical industry, and Ben, who was headed to medical school after graduating with a degree in Biology on a full academic and baseball scholarship. After Ben won the regional Texas Country Showdown singing competition he went on to the Southeast USA contest and finished Top 10 in the nationwide event, the tide turned and he decided to take “music over medicine.” Likewise, after getting multiple cuts as a writer on albums ranging from pop, to country, to electronic music, Chris decided to pursue his dream in music and form a band.
