CARSON PETERS & IRON MOUNTAIN RELEASE NEW SINGLE “USED TO BE” - OUT TODAY
NASHVILLE, TN (May 16, 2025) – Rising bluegrass sensation Carson Peters & Iron Mountain release their new single, “Used to Be,” available today on all streaming platforms via Billy Blue Records. Listen HERE.
Carson Peters & Iron Mountain have rapidly become one of the most energetic and sought-after bluegrass bands in the industry. Their traditional bluegrass style and a cappella arrangements serve as a refreshing reminder that the bluegrass of old is alive and well.
Since the release of their debut Billy Blue Records album Gotta Lotta Lonesome, Carson Peters & Iron Mountain have built significant momentum. With show-stopping performances, including multiple Grand Ole Opry appearances, the band continues to make their mark as one of bluegrass’s prominent rising acts.
“Carson Peters is easily one of the brightest young stars in our industry. Along with his band, Iron Mountain, we are excited to announce the release of their latest radio single,” said Jerry Salley, A&R/creative director of Billy Blue Records. “Carson’s musicianship, songwriting skills, and vocal ability are as equally impressive as his showmanship on stage. He is simply an all-around great entertainer, bringing audiences to their feet at the end of every performance. His latest offering, ‘Used To Be’ is a song he co-wrote with lifetime friend and fellow musician, Eric Marshall. This clever lyric is married to an exciting, hard-charging, banjo-driven melody, ably performed by bandmate James McDowell, as he combines hints of Earl Scruggs turning the tuning keys and his hero, Don Reno. ‘Used to Be’ was written for the radio, and is sure to bring Carson Peters & Iron Mountain new listeners wherever it is played!”
