"Ice on the Road" is PYNK BEARD's first release as part of the Anzie BlueRecords family
Emerging Country artist and award-winning songwriter PYNK BEARD is giving a voice to what America needs right now. Today (3.5), he shared his new song, "Ice on the Road." Set against a backdrop of national grief and unrest, the track finds PYNK BEARD asking the listener to consider not only the state of the country now, but the condition of our nationwide compassion.
Raised as the son of an Alabama preacher, PYNK BEARD grew up steeped in the Biblical lesson to "love your neighbor as yourself" and "to treat strangers with care for in doing so, one might be entertaining angels." That shapes the heart of this track and calls into question our diminishing cultural instinct toward empathy, acceptance and community.
Written by: Coleridge Tillman (PYNK BEARD) and Warren "Oak" Felder
Produced by: Oak for The Orphanage and Jayme Silverstein
Mixed by Keith Sorrells
Recorded at SuCasa Studios, Los Angeles
With "Ice on the Road," PYNK BEARD finds himself as more than just a country artist, but as a storyteller with a pulse on the moral undercurrents of the moment. An award-winning songwriter sought after by the biggest names in pop music, PYNK BEARD (aka Sebastian Kole), is now stepping into his own spotlight, leaning into a Country identity. In 2025, he released his debut country EP Red Dirt Diaries. Equipped with a powerful voice and smartly crafted lyrics, PYNK BEARD is ready to tell his story.
