Country/Americana storyteller, song craftsman Greg Strawn releases new single “Weaker Every Day”

By Kath Galasso on May 20, 2025

Country/Americana storyteller, song craftsman and wordsmith Greg Strawn is uninhibited on his immensely relatable new single “Weaker Every Day”, out now on streaming platforms. As counter-intuitive as the themes of the song and lyrics may initially seem, Strawn’s musical mission is deeply connected to a sense of radical honesty – say it clear and how it is. It takes a level of self-awareness and humility to pen songs in this fashion. Sonically, “Weaker Every Day” is melancholic but warm and authentic thanks to careful arrangements that leave no fat on the bone, and Greg Strawn’s authentic and earnest vocal.

Greg expands on what this new release means to him: “Weaker Every Day was written at a stressful time. Trying to deal with my aging parents’ declining health, taking care of a family farming operation and raising my daughter. Lots of negative talk from outsiders on how I handled my parent’s situation. With all that, it seemed hopeless. I wrote the song on my front porch one Sunday evening.”

This sense of inner resilience pervades Greg Strawn’s music catalog, and it’s for the listener’s benefit that nothing is sugarcoated. Anyone going through monumental change or feeling they might be ready to cave into fight or flight mode might want to take a page from his book, breathe deep, pause, and open up to creativity.

Artist Biography:

Greg Strawn is a singer-songwriter from Eldorado, OK, who performs solo acoustic
sets rooted in Country, Texas Country, and Americana. After stepping away from music for 14 years, he rediscovered his passion and began writing and performing again. His songs, including “Old Guitar” and “Hero”, reflect personal moments from his life, resonating with audiences who appreciate honest storytelling. Greg has earned multiple #1 hits on the EACM European Chart and continues to grow his reach while balancing music with his work as a county commissioner and farmer. His live shows offer a mix of classic covers and original songs, giving listeners a straightforward and down-to-earth experience.

Greg Strawn’s love for music started early-at age seven, he bought his first guitar at Otasco, though he didn’t begin lessons until he was 17. Over the years, he played casually in community settings and occasionally with bands, but music took a backseat when his life took a difficult turn. Struggling with addiction in his late 20s, he lost everything, including his family. After rehab and rebuilding his life, he put music aside completely. Fourteen years later, a friend invited him to play a few songs at a solo acoustic show, reigniting something he thought was gone. That night reminded him why he loved music, and before long, he was writing, recording, and performing again. Drawing inspiration from Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams Jr., Greg leans into classic country storytelling, writing songs that reflect real-life struggles and personal experiences.

His song “Old Guitar” is one of his most meaningful-telling the true story of pawning his guitar for gas money to get to court during one of the hardest times in his life. “Hero”, written after his father’s passing, has struck a chord with listeners who have experienced similar loss. His music has gained traction internationally, earning three #1 spots on the EACM European Chart and placements on the Hot Disc Top 40 UK Chart, TIRC, and the Texas Music Chart.

When he’s not performing, Greg works full-time as a county commissioner and farms irrigated cotton and wheat. His live shows feature a mix of country, classic rock, and even a few unexpected covers, making each set unique. Recognized for his songwriting, he was awarded “Most Classic Sound” at the Texas State Songwriters 10th Anniversary.

With a style that’s straightforward and authentic, Greg continues to grow as an artist, sharing his music with new audiences while staying true to his roots.
