NASHVILLE, TN (July 30, 2025) — Today, acclaimed husband-and-wife duo Alyssa and Wayne Brewer announce the upcoming release of their sophomore album, Lonesome & Blue, set to arrive Friday, September 12 in honor of what would have been George Jones’s 94th birthday.
On Lonesome & Blue, Alyssa & Wayne breathe fresh life into the lost art of duet singing — perhaps the only husband-and-wife duo today reviving the spirit of country music’s Golden Era. A follow-up to their acclaimed debut Alyssa and Wayne Sing George and Tammy — praised by PEOPLE Magazine in 2023 for its “own brand of magic”— Lonesome & Blue continues their heartfelt tribute to George Jones and Tammy Wynette.
PRE-SAVE / PRE-ADD LONESOME & BLUE HERE.
The 10-track collection features legendary steel guitarist Tom Killen, a longtime member of Jones’ “The Jones Boys.” Its title track, “Lonesome & Blue,” is both the lead single and Alyssa & Wayne’s first original song, now available on all streaming platforms.

Accompanying the single is a music video, depicting a slow-burning fantasy where Wayne as “Lonesome,” and Alyssa “Blue,” chase for something just out of reach. Wayne shares, “This is my favorite video we’ve made. The crew was incredible, and watching scenes evolve on set made the process feel organic. Alyssa’s idea for the fantasy scenes added depth, and smashing a guitar for the finale was a wild one-take moment. Fun fact: the motel had actual guests — we’re still not sure if anyone heard the smash!”

Wayne Brewer shares, “This album is about capturing the heart of an era that the songs came from and authentically delivering it in a way that feels alive today.” Alyssa Brewer adds, “This record is for the fans who grew up in that golden era, and for the younger generation just now discovering its magic. What you hear on this album is exactly what you’ll get at our live shows — a timeless connection, not just nostalgia. After shows, folks are asking if we have any recorded versions of these songs, and now we do!”

“Alyssa & Wayne Brewer are not a tribute act; they’re our modern-day George & Tammy,” explains legendary fashion icon & tailor of the stars, Manuel Cuevas. They are torchbearers in the truest sense — carrying forward the spirit and sound of classic country while making it their own. “Alyssa & Wayne are keeping the classic boy-girl country duet alive and well and timeless as it’s ever been,” adds Alan Becker, SVP at Sony Music’s The Orchard. “From George & Tammy to Hardy and Lainey Wilson, Alyssa & Wayne deliver authenticity, emotional honesty as well as beautiful harmonies in all their performances showcasing their beautiful chemistry and enduring appeal.”
Wayne Brewer — a sixth-generation musician well-known for his work with Gary Brewer & The Kentucky Ramblers — and Alyssa married in 2015. Wayne says recording a duet album has been a goal since he and Alyssa began dating, but other career demands kept getting in the way. Wayne not only performs with the Ramblers, but also serves as CEO of SGM (Stretch Grass Music), with Alyssa as COO of the label.
Despite their packed schedules, the couple eventually carved out time to get into the studio for the first time and recorded the Townes Van Zandt classic “If I Needed You,” a song they had sung to each other at their wedding. That intimate session rekindled the dream they’d put on hold. Originally intended as a one-off tribute to their shared roots and love story, the project grew into something bigger — eventually becoming Alyssa and Wayne Sing George and Tammy (released September 15, 2023), their first heartfelt nod to the iconic country duo. The album became both a passion project and a reflection of their own journey as partners in music and in life. Through singles such as “Golden Ring” & “We’re Gonna Hold On” (1 million YouTube views), the project garnered immediate praise from an array of strong tastemaker outlets including PEOPLE, CMT, The Bluegrass Situation, Americana Highways, MusicRow, Saving Country Music & Cowgirl Magazine, solidifying the the couple as one to watch.
