Today, the veteran storyteller once again gifts fans a tale that is complex yet approachable. A true tunesmith, Lovin' Not Leavin flawlessly showcases Bowen's Texas tenor and dynamic storytelling backed by idyllic sonics.

In just a little over three minutes, Wade captures the essence of hesitant vagabond spirit who can only be tied down thanks to the strong and unwavering love of another. Through tender lyrics and idillic melodies, Bowen cements himself as one of today's top talents.

I'm hanging in, I'm holding on their ain't no telling where the old me gone, he sings in the bright chorus. Unafraid to pull stories from his own life, Bowen's autobiographical story is rooted in tradition. Co- written with the talented Casey Beathard the song captures what good storytelling should be about. Not to mention, the cinematic official video brings the passionate lyrics to life, featuring Bowen’s wife and locations that are meaningful to his life.

“This is a Wade Bowen song….big, slow, dynamic and full of passion,” Bowen said in a press release. “It’s these types of songs that are my favorite to write and sing. There’s no better feeling than being a rambling soul who finally finds the one who settles ya down. We spend most of our lives thinking it’s not possible. Then boom… you’re knocked on your ass ‘cause it does. God bless the women who love a gypsy soul… this song is for you.”

Approachable and strong Lovin' Not Leavin embodies every aspect of what makes Wade Bowen a top tier talent. From words that pull you in to sonics that evoke emotion, Bowen's artistry is put on full display! In a genre where all too often, artists shy away from introspective stories and autobiographical moments, Wade breaks through the noise.
