Syntax Creative Clients Take 45 Nominations for the 35th Annual IBMA Awards
DESCRIPTION:
Chris Jones & The Night Drivers open 2026 by flipping a common bluegrass trope on its head. Instead of pairing upbeat music with somber lyrics, “Steal My Today” uses a mournful setting to tell the story of a narrator who lets go of the past. He stands in “a roomful of chalk lines and dust,” yet makes a clear stand: “With all that you’ve taken that used to be mine, you’re not going to steal my today.”
