AVAILABLE SEPTEMBER 18

 
“Traditionally, dragonflies represent spiritual growth, metamorphosis, maturity, adaptation and renewal, along with light and clarity, joy and happiness,” shares Ewing. “It was an epiphany that this project, along with my renewed efforts to be the artist I’ve always wanted to be, unapologetically embodied all of those things.” 

Grounded in insight gained from over a decade out west and inspired by his 1:1 work with horses in Wyoming, learning about the gift of presence and genuine connection, DRAGONFLY pairs contemporary country production with timeless themes—raw emotion, lyrical depth, dynamic vocal range and an unfiltered heart. Self-penned, apart from an epic take on “Down On The Corner,” Ewing, alongside an A-list production and studio team, weaves the journey masterfully. There is universal reflection in “Me & God and a Fishing Pole,” unfettered resilience in “Play On,” as well as angst and heartache in both “Not Me This Time” and the forthcoming song, “Whiskey and You.”

Dragonfly will also be available on CD and vinyl (limited number/while supplies last) and available for pre-order now at https://skipewing.myshopify.com/.
 
Not Me This Time,” a smoldering ballad about finally breaking free from a toxic cycle of heartache and broken promises, is out today. 

“Alcohol and a telephone can be a cruel combination,” shares Ewing. “When boundaries are achingly painful to maintain, it often means they’re built out of love. Sometimes the most loving thing to say is… ‘Never again.’ I wish I didn’t know as much about that as I do.”
 

The latest track follows previous release, “Me & God and a Fishing Pole,” which is currently Top 10 and climbing the CDXTRACtion True Indie country singles chart. The new single is on the heels of a successful radio campaign with “I Want It All,” a multi-week No. 1, including 11 weeks in the Top 5, and Mediabase Activator chart Top 50, spending 11 consecutive weeks in the Country Aircheck magazine Top 60.
 
2026 continues to keep Ewing busy, with recent appearances including the Grand Ole Opry, Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum and more. Catch him on the road this month in Farmington, NM (8/13) and Gettysburg, PA (8/14) where fans will experience a unique blend of two of country and bluegrass music’s most talented artists as he joins Appalachian Road Show at the Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival as a special guest! For tickets and information, visit SkipEwing.com.

About Skip Ewing
A natural born storyteller, Skip Ewing’s signature gift for vivid songcraft and true-to-life human connection made him a chart-topping star at the turn of the 90s with six top 20 hits including the top 5 country classics “Burnin’ a Hole in My Heart” and “It’s You Again.” Along with his own solo successes, Ewing is one of Nashville’s most prolific songwriters, with eleven No. 1 songwriting credits including Randy Travis’ “If I Didn’t Have You” and NSAI Song of the Year, Clint Black’s “Something That We Do.” With songs recorded by country superstars such as ERNEST and Lainey Wilson (2025’s “Would If I Could”), Keith Urban, George Strait, Zac Brown Band, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Willie Nelson, and Shania Twain, he’s earned countless honors and accolades including a prestigious CMA Triple Play Award and BMI Songwriter of the Year Award as well as multiple ACM, BMI, CMA, GRAMMY®, NSAI and Songwriter Hall of Fame nominations.
 
Ewing’s ceaseless quest for personal growth led him to step away from the bright lights of Nashville for the wide-open spaces of Wyoming, where he devoted himself to his love of nature and horsemanship while caretaking on a ranch outside Yellowstone National Park. As his spirit rejuvenated, Ewing eventually picked up his guitar and returned to creating and performing country music that chronicled the tale of his ongoing human journey, captured on such well-received albums as 2020’s Wyoming, 2021’s Christmas, and 2024’s Road to California, all of which continue to garner him critical and popular acclaim.
 
Ewing’s eagerly awaited new album, DRAGONFLY, out September 18, sees the veteran artist bringing his extraordinary life experiences and philosophical temperament to bear on the essential new project. With its contemporary sound and timeless themes of love, heartache, and the struggles and triumphs of daily life, DRAGONFLY makes it plain that Skip Ewing’s approach to country music remains as resonant and richly formidable as ever, uniquely able to reach across generations with authenticity, positive energy, and an avowed commitment to creating universal connection.
