Lauren Rismiller – Heart Broke In A Bar

Penned by the 20-year-old talented songstress, and recorded in Nashville, the coming of age, heartbreak anthem, “Heart Broke In A Bar,” is a solo pour of regret portrayed from a lonely bar stool under neon lights. “Heart Broke In A Bar” is out on Tennessee Rolling Hill Records and is produced by Jesse Savio.

Drawing inspiration from 90s “Women of Country” hitmakers, the instrumentation blends neo-traditional elements—mournful pedal steel and twangy electric guitar solos—with a steady acoustic rhythm. The hallmark foundation and honky tonk aesthetics frame Rismiller’s velvety-smooth, drawling vocals. Her modern soulful delivery punches the down-and-out ruminations of the chorus line; the upbeat tempo contrasts the forlorn sentiment.

A personal manifesto against nostalgia, the melancholy storyline is personal pledge to swear off remnants of her past and anyone with his likeness — no do-overs, no sequels, no “repeat play.”
