SAKAMOTO MUSIC SIGNS RIVER TOWN SAINTS, RELEASING “SHE GOT THAT” ON JUNE 9

For Immediate Release, June 1, 2023: Canadian country band River Town Saints are set to return with their highly anticipated new single, “She Got That,” set for release on June 9. The vibrant summer jam perfectly encapsulates the essence of the season and marks their first release under their new recording deal with Sakamoto Music, distributed by Warner Music Canada.

Good songs happen when a bunch of summer lovin’ Ottawa Valley boys get together in Nashville with their buddy Jason Blaine. The outcome, “She Got That,” pays homage to a captivating girl who possesses that special allure, driving men to acts of foolishness.

“We can’t wait for you to hear the new music we’ve been working hard on this year, and to be able to release it with our new label Sakamoto Music!” says River Town Saints.

“We are overjoyed to welcome the talent of River Town Saints to the Sakamoto Music family,” says Joelle May, Director of Promotions & Artist Services at Sakamoto Music. “Their journey, marked by hard work and remarkable skills, is truly commendable. ‘She Got That’ showcases their irresistible music and reaffirms their undeniable talent.”

“The entire team at Sakamoto Agency have been so supportive to River Town Saints and we are thrilled to be expanding our relationship to include their label side, Sakamoto Music,” says Tina Simpkin, the band’s manager.

River Town Saints have much to celebrate in recent years, boasting an impressive 20 million audio streams and video views, a top 10 hit with their single “Bonfire,” CCMA Award nominations, CMAO and Canadian Radio Music Award wins, tours with Tim Hicks and Kip Moore and spots on the country’s biggest festivals.

But their story isn’t devoid of challenges and tragedy. Following the departure of their original singer in 2018, the band heartbreakingly lost their bassist and dear friend Daniel Di Giacomo at age 31. Understandably, many would have considered throwing in the towel, but though enduring more than most bands could bear, quitting was never an option for this resilient group.

Renowned for their energetic live show, rich vocal harmonies and unwavering devotion to good times, the Saints have merely scratched the surface of their potential.
