When the music fades, what’s left are the promises we keep. Seasoned guitarist and singer-songwriter Johnny Stachela releases his newest single Pills & Liquor. Pulled from his upcoming EP The Stroll, the track captures a turning point, when the party’s over and the deeper struggle for change begins. Recorded with a trio of Nashville’s finest at JD Simo’s House of Grease studio, Stachela’s signature guitar work weaves effortlessly through confessional lyrics and a slow-burning groove, offering fans a gritty, heartfelt preview of what’s ahead. The tracks a soulful shuffle that bridges Duane Allman’s Delta blues spirit with the raw, desolate tones of Texas legends like Billy F. Gibbons. Stachela shares:

This song is about how the party’s over, and it’s time to go home. It’s confessional—knowing when to put down the drugs and booze, and sticking to a promise. Making a change and holding onto it is a universal challenge, but ultimately, it turns out to be a lot more fun.

Riding the momentum of his previous single All Because Of You, Stachela’s forthcoming EP promises a journey through discipline, resilience, and the redemptive power of roots-driven music. Johnny Stachela’s career has been steeped in musical legacy, from touring globally with The Allman Betts Band and Duane Betts & Palmetto Motel to recording at the famed Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. With "The Stroll" set to arrive later this year, fans can expect more soulful explorations from a modern torchbearer of Southern blues-rock tradition.
