Co-written and produced by Brian Howes, the country-rock track is being serviced to Country and Hot AC radio.
Phoenix, Arizona, United States, September 18, 2026 -- Arizona-based singer-songwriter, Christopher Shayne, is pleased to announce the release of his hot new single, “Arizona,” available today, Friday, September 18, on all major streaming and digital platforms. Co-written and produced by songwriter and producer Brian Howes, the track delivers a guitar-driven tribute to the state Shayne calls home.
Co-written and produced by acclaimed hit songwriter and producer Brian Howes (Nickelback, Theory of a Dead Man), “Arizona” is a high-energy celebration of the state Christopher Shayne calls home. Built around a massive chorus, driving guitars and Shayne’s unmistakable vocal delivery, the track captures the freedom, heat, attitude and wide-open spirit of the American Southwest.
For Shayne, the release carries a personal connection. Rather than treating Arizona simply as a setting, the song recognizes the people, places and experiences that have shaped his work as a musician. Its imagery and energetic arrangement are intended to capture the feeling of traveling through the state with the windows down and the volume turned up.
“This song is Arizona through and through,” says Shayne. “We wanted it to feel big, loud and alive — something you want to crank up with the windows down. I’m proud to call Arizona home, and this song is my way of celebrating it.”
“Arizona” represents the latest development in the sound Shayne describes as “Wild West,” a blend of outlaw country, Southern rock, modern rock and Americana. The single retains the weight and energy of a rock performance while placing country storytelling and Southwestern themes at its center.
Shayne has developed his reputation through extensive live performances in the United States and Europe. During his career, he has shared stages and provided direct support for artists including ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Cody Jinks, Dwight Yoakam and Shooter Jennings. Those touring experiences have helped shape a performance-focused approach that carries into the arrangement of “Arizona.”
The single is being supported by a national promotional campaign and serviced to Country and Hot Adult Contemporary radio. Its cross-format release reflects the song’s combination of country subject matter, rock instrumentation and an accessible chorus suited to a broad radio audience.
The release arrives as Shayne continues working on additional material, including music from an upcoming project produced by Shooter Jennings. Together, the new recordings are expected to expand on the country-rock direction heard in “Arizona” while maintaining the Southwestern perspective that has become central to Shayne’s work.
Co-written and produced by Howes, “Arizona” is designed for settings ranging from open highways and tailgates to festivals, live venues and radio.
