I hope this message finds you well. I'm reaching out to share the latest single from Americana singer-songwriter Ken Holt, titled “You Don’t Have to Stand,” releasing July 18th via MTS Records.

This poignant track is the follow-up to Ken’s previous single, “I Did Not Know,” which climbed to #2 on the Independent Music Network Country chart. His newest release is a tender meditation on reconnection and emotional honesty—wrapped in acoustic warmth, subtle violin textures, and a chorus that leaves a lasting impression: “If it starts to feel real good, you don’t have to stand.”

“You Don’t Have to Stand” features acclaimed violinist Kricket Moros and multi-instrumentalist/producer Mike Geier (The Recording Ranch, FL). It’s the kind of track that gently unfolds with each listen—equally suited for Americana, folk, and soft country formats.
