Dallas Murrae’s latest single, “Shasta,” is a throwback to what’s essential: heart, honesty, and that feeling you can only get when you write real music with your best friends. “Shasta” doesn’t sound like someone trying to make a point; it sounds like someone who has found peace in their quest.
Recorded and written within a modest Nashville apartment slightly removed from the chaos of Broadway, “Shasta” isn’t attempting to impress anyone, making that its very charm. There are no smoke, mirrors, strategic rollouts, or industry fluff. It is a raw, warm, and unfiltered track that exists and breathes in the creative moments shared among close but friendly musicians.
Dallas, who was signed as a minor to a major label and dropped before turning 18, has already lived a few lives in this business. There’s a beauty in hearing a song that wasn’t designed to chase charts or trends. What it feels like, instead, is a time capsule, one that has in it laughter in the living room, takeout containers on the floor, and the electric hum of late-night inspiration.
The recording itself leans into its rough edges, and this is what gives it magic. “Shasta” isn’t attempting to be perfect; it’s trying to be true. And in that, it is something quietly unforgettable. It’s the track you put on during a solo drive or a late-night hang when you need to feel something real. And for us, “Shasta” is a return to why we fell in love with music in the first place.
