Publicity photoIt’s Thursday, readers!

To get you ready for the weekend, Celeb Secrets Country is introducing you to icy blue-eyed country singer songwriter Travis Rice, whose new single “Women, Water and Beer” is the perfect song to add to your Memorial Day playlist.

The upbeat, country-rooted song, led by Rice’s signature baritone sound, was written by this affable country artist and produced by Noah Henson (producer for Kane Brown’s EP Closer and guitarist for Brantley Gilbert).

“Women, Water and Beer” serves as an ode to his small town life and love for the summer. “This is such a fun song. I feel like it paints the perfect picture of what it means to enjoy the simple things in life,” says Rice. “I grew up in a tiny community outside of Crossville, TN and you learn to enjoy the simplicity and the good times you can have with friends.”

Celeb Secrets Country caught up with Travis to talk about his single, his upcoming album, and the process behind his music. He even talked about his obsession with Thomas Rhett‘s “Die A Happy Man,” his musical inspirations, and his secret shooting clay pigeons skill — make sure to read the full Q&A below!

Travis Rice will be participating in the 2016 CMA Music Festival in Nashville this year, signing autographs inside the Music City Center on Thursday, June 9th from 4-5pm and Sunday, June 12th from 3-4pm. For more information on Travis Rice, visit his official website at .
