Cole Swindell's Story Behind 'Down To The Bar'

Cole Swindell is counting down the days til the release of his new album on April 8. One of the songs on it, “Down To The Bar” was actually inspired by his stage set-up, which looks like a bar. Cole tells us more: [“Just looking at this album…these songs…there was a song called ‘Down To The Bar’ that was fun to me. It just felt like the biggest you know live song out there. HARDY‘s singing on it with me and we were thinking about what the production could be like for the tour, and I was like ‘Man, we came up playing in bars, why not just make it look like our own bar.’ People really…they’re going in theaters and arenas of venues but it looks like they’re in a bar.”]
