Since 2022, NJ's rising Country stars, Not Leaving Sober, have made a name for themselves, opening for national acts such as Morgan Wallen, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Sam Hunt, Florida Georgia Line, Zac Brown Band, Warren Zeiders, Megan Moroney, Jordan Davis & more. And now they're bringing the party to McDonagh's Pub in Keyport, NJ -- playing all of your favorite Country hits and some of their chart climbing original songs.
Not Leaving Sober was named one of NJ dot com’s “New Jersey Artists You Need to Hear in 2023”, and it’s easy to see why. As 95.9 The WRAT said, “Having built a following through acclaimed in-person performances, off-the-wall antics, and a great social media presence, Not Leaving Sober is a true grass roots success story”.
This 5-piece nationally-touring act from the Jersey shore has seamlessly created their own lane in the Country-Southern Rock genre. From the devil-may-care attitude to the angelic vocal harmonies, there are two things you are guaranteed to find — unique and infectious choruses and absolutely electric, rowdy, live performances.
Not Leaving Sober’s niche is a breath of fresh air in a sea of musical regularity. Their mission: Chronicle their lifestyle on the Jersey shore — partying, performing and barely getting by, while also bringing some of Nashville’s magic home to NJ through bluesy solos, Skynyrd-esque riffs and witty, often audacious lyricism.
Since the start of 2021, Not Leaving Sober has performed shows alongside the likes of some of Country music’s superstars -- to go along with a performance at Nashville’s famous artist showcase, Whiskey Jam and five performances at Barefoot Country Music Fest. With 600,000 on-demand streams on Spotify and coverage from Raised Rowdy, Asbury Park Press, 95.9 WRAT & Cat Country 107.3, the band is “quickly becoming a household name, not only in New Jersey, but in Nashville, and is absolutely thriving.”
