Country artist and TV personality Dave McElroy has kicked off 2025 with an emotional and uplifting new single, “Good Time Guys”, which is out now. The track, which premiered with American Songwriter, serves as both a celebration of camaraderie and a heartfelt tribute to a dear friend and bandmate who lost his battle with mental health struggles. This acts as the follow-up to his 2021 single “Vibin'”.
McElroy, known for his high-energy performances and down-to-earth storytelling, brings a summer-ready anthem with “Good Time Guys”. Written by Bridgette Tatum and McElroy, the song captures the joy of life on the road with his band, the unforgettable moments shared, and the bond that keeps them going. At the same time, it shines a light on the silent struggles of mental health, making it a meaningful and deeply personal release for McElroy.
Blending the energy of classic rock influences like Tom Petty with the feel-good essence of a road trip anthem, “Good Time Guys” delivers the kind of infectious, carefree vibe that fans have come to love from McElroy. But beyond the fun, it also carries a deeper message—one of remembrance and raising awareness for mental health, made even more poignant by the loss of a band member and close friend who struggled with mental health in silence before tragically dying by suicide. Positive, endearing, and captivating, this song is the feel-good country-rock that is set to dominate 2025.
With an impressive career spanning both music and television, McElroy has secured eight Top 40 hits on the Billboard Indicator and Music Row charts. His standout tracks, including “Trucker Hat” (which has racked up 2.5 million streams) and “Chill” (1.8 million streams), have cemented his status in the country music world. Beyond music, he’s also the star of “Hang Time with Dave McElroy”, a top-rated hunting and fishing show on the Sportsman Channel, proving his versatility across different entertainment platforms.
Outside of his career, McElroy is dedicated to giving back, supporting causes such as the Darren Waller Foundation, which helps young people struggling with substance abuse, and his own charity, J & S Hearts of Gold, which provides generation support to those in need.
“Good Time Guys”, by Dave McElroy, is available to download and stream, right now, across all platforms, via Free Flow Productions. With this track marking his first release of the year, and his first single in four years, McElroy is setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting 2025.
