Nashville, TN – April 26, 2023 – At today’s visit with the Universal Music Group staff, Mercury Nashville recording artist Travis Denning was surprised with a plaque for the Gold RIAA certification of “Davis Ashley Parker From Powder Springs.” The song, which recalls all the joy and anxiety of being underage and Denning’s own experiences with a fake ID, was written by Denning, Jon Randall and Jessi Alexander, and was produced by Jeremy Stover. The track was Denning’s debut single, and it is his second highest streaming track to date.
“When I found out the song went Gold, it was an affirmation that I knew this song was a great introduction to my career,” said Denning. “It is so personal to me, and a big part of my life and I knew a lot of people could relate to it. It is nice to reflect and look back on the early parts of my career and what’s led to right now. It’s super cool and I’m grateful and I’m proud to have a plaque that has a Georgia town on it!”
Denning, who’s current track “Strawberry Wine And A Cheap Six Pack” is out now, is in the studio working on his forthcoming project and is touring fairs and festivals throughout the summer.
