The forthcoming release from the Connor Christian fronted act was written by Russell Sutton, Kyle Coulahan, and Troy Thomas Walls with the trio creating a fantastic toe-tapping country crossover jam that will have you reaching for the repeat button. There is also a truly brilliant guitar solo from Quinn to listen out for too.
Following several stints in previous bands, frontman and principal songwriter Connor Christian founded The Southern Gothic with former Truckadelic drummer Shawn Thacker. What first started as a high energy, house cover band at venerated Atlanta dive bar, Dixie Tavern, has grown immensely along with Connor’s writing skills to become the band Billboard Magazine called its ‘Band on the Verge’
And with ‘Rich Folk’ they continue on their rise to the top with a standout country Americana smash that is best played at full blast with the windows down. Lyrically engaging and musically inspiring, this is a track that showcases the growth of The Southern Gothic.
Speaking about the single, Connor Christian says:
“This is a song a bunch of my buddies wrote and I felt left out, so I had to sing it. It was written by Russell Sutton ('Whiskey On You" Nate Smith/"My Boy"Elvie Shane) with Troy Thomas Walls (who co-wrote several other tunes on the album with me including "Talking in My Sleep") and Kyle Coulahan. It's just a super fun jam, Quinn's guitar solo is INSANE, we brought in a few horn-playing buddies to add some finishing touches, and just really got to get a feel for how far we could stretch that song from the original vibe, which we loved, and still stay true to it. Throughout this tune, we meet a host of characters, the most important of which is the bar itself. Anyone who's spent any time in a low down dive bar, seedy-pub will recognize a lot of the people and scenes in this tune. I love singing it, and can't wait to play it for everyone!”

The Release
On March 10th, Nashville-based country-influenced duo The Southern Gothic release their brand new single titled ‘Rich Folk’ which sees them continuing to cross sub-genres with ease whilst retaining their natural soundscape.
The Review.... 'Rich Folks'
This track 'Rich Folks' starts out brilliantly with the chatter of people in the background along with a guitar playing like it itself is in the background but just a bit over the People's chatter, that sets the mood of this track. You feel as if you where in a bar listing to a band on stage. After the intro there is a burst of sound of guitar's, drums and bass introducing the lead vocalist Connor Christian singing with that good old boy country sound. the Connor Christian sings..'Billie is chain smoking while he is pumping his change in the video poker machine' later he sings..'The beer is ice cold and the whisky is dirt cheap and everybody's got a red neck..' This track makes me feel as if I was in a country bar on a Saturday night drinking and dancing, having a good time. I love the sound of this band, they have a similar sound to Garth Brooks older work. This track is toe tappin, dancing in you seat kinda track. Makes you wanna get up and dance. Readers this is an amazing band with a good old country sound. So, readers if you into good old country bands, well this band The Southern Gothic is just right up your ally.
In conclusion, I really enjoyed listening to this track, 'Rich Folks' They are toe tapping good. The story being being told about a country night out puts you in the bar having a good old time. 'Being under the tin roof under the neon light, on the front porch with a double wide view...' This track puts you there, 'Wondering what the rich folks are doing tonight' as the track states in the lyrics. This is a well produced track, good sound, and well written. This duo will have you listening to this track over and over again.
