NASHVILLE, Tenn. (October 17, 2025) — Acclaimed husband-and-wife artists Eric & Lindsey Heatherly have officially rebranded as American Love Affair, marking the next chapter of their creative evolution with the release of their debut single of the same name. The vintage-infused track, set for impact October 17th, “American Love Affair,” sets the tone for a new era—one defined by timeless songwriting, analog authenticity, and a sonic aesthetic inspired by the golden age of American music.

Additionally, Eric says, “Every time we play ‘American Love Affair’ LIVE, people come up and say ‘Wow…That song totally needs to be in a Tarantino film…’ We always look at each other and smile because that’s exactly the sentiment we wanted to get across when we recorded this track, mostly in the dark, in a 1927 Spanish Mediterranean house way down south.”
Lindsey continues, “We originally wrote it for Miley Cyrus but after demoing it-we said - ‘no way we are giving this one up.’So, we lit the candles, channeled our best Duane Eddy guitar tones, Nancy Sinatra swagger and Chris Isaac vibes. It dripped out of us like cold molasses. We filmed the video for it at the sultry 1947 dive bar, Azalea Cocktail Lounge in Pensacola, FL. It turned out so special and it’s gotten us major label attention for the first time in 20yrs. The track embodies our love for each other but also encapsulates our passion for making music together.
A New Sound Rooted in Classic Americana
Recorded in an historic 1927 Spanish Revival home on the Gulf Coast, the single channels the lush textures and warmth of 1960s-era analog recordings. Written originally for Miley Cyrus, “American Love Affair” showcases whimsical Duane Eddy-style guitar tones, sultry vocal harmonies, and a magnetic groove that feels both nostalgic and new.
In keeping with their artistic philosophy, the duo intentionally avoided modern digital shortcuts, recording live and keeping the “stank” in the sound—favoring real instruments, vintage amplifiers, and raw performances that preserve emotion over perfection.
Eric, known for his worldwide hit “Flowers on the Wall” and lauded Mercury Records debut Swimming in Champagne, joins Lindsey—an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and visual artist—in crafting what critics are calling “a fresh spin on vintage Americana.”
“What the world needs now is love... sweet love—and American Love Affair!” said Billy Burnette, member of Fleetwood Mac and former guitarist for John Fogerty. “Eric and Lindsey have tapped into something real. Their music brings back the magic of when records had soul and style.”
Alongside the debut single and rebrand, American Love Affair will return to Missouri for an exclusive Branson residency at the Americana Theater from March through December 2026. The duo will perform as featured artists in an original show they created and produced with drummer Brian Duvall called, HITS ON ROUTE 66. They’ll incorporate their signature retro sound with a visual history of America’s mother road Route 66.
Fans can expect special live performances of “American Love Affair”, and full-length headline shows throughout the residency.
“Branson has always been a special place for us,” said Lindsey. “It’s where our journey as a duo truly began, where we got engaged and it feels like the perfect home for this new chapter.”
