Elite Circuit Records is proud to announce the release of “Dreamer,” a brand-new original single from award-winning bluegrass artist Shannon Slaughter. This emotionally resonant track is now available for streaming and purchasing on all major digital platforms. With its message of hope, resilience, and determination, “Dreamer” speaks to anyone who’s ever dared to chase a goal – even in the face of doubt.
Written and performed by Slaughter, “Dreamer” is a deeply personal song that reflects his journey not only as a musician but as a steadfast believer in the power of pursuing one’s passions. Known for his warm, expressive vocals and impressive guitar style, Slaughter once again delivers a performance that is both technically masterful and emotionally compelling.
“This song really reflects my attitude about dream chasing,” Slaughter shares. “Don’t let anyone discourage you from achieving what you are capable of! Too often the people who don’t support you, lift you up, or belittle you have already let their dreams die and they don’t want you to reach yours. It’s a sad situation that far too many of us have found ourselves in, so get out, move on, and surround yourself with POSITIVE PEOPLE!”
“Dreamer” is more than just a song—it’s a statement. Backed by a stellar cast of musicians, the track showcases an all-star lineup of bluegrass talent with: Shannon Slaughter – Lead vocals & guitar, Cliff Bailey – Acoustic bass & tenor vocal, Trevor Watson – Banjo, Ron Inscore – Mandolin & baritone vocal, and Aubrey Haynie – Fiddle.
Together, they create a vibrant and compelling musical landscape, blending traditional bluegrass with Slaughter’s signature contemporary edge. The result is a track that is both fresh and familiar, rooted in the genre’s traditions while pushing it forward.
