NASHVILLE, TN – For rising country artist Matt Oakley, life isn’t just about the destination—it’s about the journey, and he’s bringing listeners along for the ride with his latest single, “Party on 95.” A high-energy road trip anthem, the track celebrates the spontaneous joy of hitting the highway, rolling down the windows, and cranking up your favorite songs.
“‘Party on 95’ is exactly what it sounds like,” Oakley explains. “A road trip anthem I wrote about all the times me and my buddies packed up the truck to hit Florida for spring break. The song is about not waiting until you get to your location to start the party. Turn on your favorite songs and roll the windows down—it’s a party on Interstate 95.”
The song’s infectious vibe is more than just a nod to youthful road trips; it’s a reflection of Oakley’s roots. Raised in a military household, he spent his formative years traveling up and down the East Coast, from Maryland to Rhode Island, before attending college in South Carolina and eventually settling in Florida. For Oakley, “Party on 95” serves as a personal homage to his upbringing, the sense of adventure that defined his childhood, and the memories created along Interstate 95.
This latest release follows “Soldier’s Son,” a heartfelt tribute to his father and Gold Star families, showcasing Oakley’s ability to blend heartfelt storytelling with catchy, anthemic sounds.
