Nashville-based singer-songwriter Luke Borchelt has made his mark with the release of his debut album, Every Rain, on October 28, 2024. Blending heartfelt country storytelling with the rhythmic influences of his Maryland upbringing, Borchelt’s cross-genre sound reflects an artist deeply rooted in his experiences while pushing creative boundaries.
Fresh off a series of performances as the opening act for Shaboozey’s Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going tour and Medium Build’s fall run, Borchelt has already captured national attention. His singles “Every Rain” and “Itchin’” have garnered significant praise, with the title track achieving over 1 million streams and earning spots on curated playlists like Apple Music’s New In Country, Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Country, and Spotify’s All New Country.
Every Rain is not just an album but a narrative. “This album is a testament to what you can do without leaving where you’re from,” Borchelt shares. After leaving the big city to return to his roots in Maryland, Borchelt rekindled his musical journey from the ground up, leaning on friends, backyard fires, and intimate collaborations to bring his vision to life.
The album’s nine tracks, including highlights like the introspective “Maryland Life” and the heartfelt “Victoria,” showcase Borchelt’s ability to weave vivid storytelling with emotional depth. Collaborations with co-writer Warren Russell and contributions from Nashville talents like Jordan Rager and Mark Irwin further elevate the record. Each song is anchored in personal experiences and imagery, demonstrating Borchelt’s belief that “good writing costs you something.”
From the relatable warmth of “Car Heat” to the reflective melancholy of “Orland, ME,” Every Rain serves as a journal of Borchelt’s journey, offering listeners a glimpse into his life and the landscapes that shaped him. It’s an album that resonates with authenticity, proving Borchelt’s place as a promising new voice in the country and Americana scene.
Every Rain is now available on all streaming platforms. For more information and updates, follow Luke Borchelt on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. With this debut, Borchelt cements himself as an artist to watch, blending heartfelt narratives with a sound that feels both fresh and timeless.
