” Going Nowhere Fast” a far cry from reality for Lane Pittman and the dynamite year he is currently having. From his debut EP to his first headline tour and even further with spotlight performances at Nashville’s CMA fest, Lane is certainly going somewhere fast.
Co-written by Nashville icons Eric Paslay, Rivers Rutherford and Warren Zeiders, “Going Nowhere Fast” became an obvious standout in the EP which debuted on the ARIA Country Album Charts at #1 and #8 in the ARIA Australian Album Charts. A huge feat that was shared moments after stepping off stage at CMC Rocks in March this year.
Previous single “Let’s Get Lost” climbed to #7 on the CountryTown Airplay Charts while Lane took the Let’s Get Lost Tour across the country, selling out headline shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Saving “Going Nowhere Fast” as the final song at each show became a standout moment in each town. When the fiddle began to play, a match goes off in the room sparking energy inside every fan; the show is coming to an end, but the party is just starting.
Lane reflects after seeing audiences react to the song: “Going Nowhere Fast is such a fun song for me! It’s the song that I really get to cut loose. This leans into more Country Rock but I think that’s why I love it so much. We knew we wanted to lean this way after hearing the original work tape for it and thinking we had a really cool opportunity to spice it up”.
The single will also be accompanied by a ‘fan made’ music video featuring footage sent in by fans from the Let’s Get Lost Tour. The idea came after the tour as fans infiltrated Lanes inbox with moments from each show, now fans who missed out on tickets can feel what it was like to be at a Lane Pittman show.
Lane will be hitting the road again for a string of festivals and shows including performances at Gympie Muster, Savannah in the Round and just announced – supporting Riley Green in Brisbane this October. These won’t be his only appearances with more shows to be announced in the coming weeks.
