During an interview with Taste of Country Nights host Evan Paul, the Lake City, FL native discussed the brand-new song that he’s set to perform on the show. The tune, penned by Sanders with Jordan Walker, Adam Craig and Zach Crowell, is one that the singer has been keeping in his pocket for years, waiting for the perfect time to share it with the world.

Tapping into his love for “late ’90s, early 2000s country music,” the track channels that beloved era of the genre while still feeling uniquely his. He offers a mid-tempo sound with carries an authentic country twang that comes through in full force, pairing perfectly with a story rooted in the kind of reckless, all-in love that you know probably won’t end well, but you dive into anyway.

“That is my bread and butter,” he tells the outlet of that era of country. “I’ve always had ’90s country as sort of the roots of my music, but I wanted to find a way — how do I make this branches of my music? So this song is a product of that.”

He adds, “It reminds me of an old Brooks & Dunn song. Like a ‘She Used To Be Mine’ or ‘She Ain’t the Cheatin’ Kind.’”

Sanders goes on to say that during his time on set of Marshals, he had the chance to get to know with the show’s star, Luke Grimes, who portrays the role of Kayce Dutton in the series. Through their conversation, they found common ground in the style of music they are drawn to.

“It was really cool to … find out what makes his ticker tick,” Sanders explained. “His type of music is a little different than mine. He likes that old-school stuff that’s kind of like ’80s and ’70s, and I’m kind of right in the middle of ’90s country.”

The Road contestant isn’t the only country act making an appearance throughout the season. Ashley Cooke performed in a previous episode and Riley Green is set to make his long-awaited acting debut as Garrett, a former Navy SEAL, on Sunday, April 19.
