Ghost Hounds share "You'll Never Find Me (Strings Version)" features 15 string musicians


GHOST HOUNDS SHARE “YOU’LL NEVER FIND ME (STRINGS VERSION)” 

OUT NOW VIA GIBSON RECORDS

ARRANGEMENT BY GHOST HOUNDS’ KRISTIN WEBER 


PLUS CAPTIVATING MUSIC VIDEO RECORDED LIVE AT OCEAN WAY IN NASHVILLE AND DIRECTED BY ALLISTER ANN (KENNY CHESNEY, TEGAN & SARA, DAN AUERBACH)

Ghost Hounds are thrilled to share "You'll Never Find Me (Strings Version)” arranged by the band's own Kristin Weber and out now via Gibson Records. The new version follows the previously released studio recording.  


The Strings Version is paired with a captivating music video recorded live at Ocean Way in Nashville, directed by Allister Ann, known for her work with Kenny Chesney, Tegan & Sara, Civil wars, Dan Auerbach and more.


The song is described by the band as a "warrior's anthem," with a deep message of resilience and self-empowerment. As the band’s SAVNT explains, “You’ll Never Find Me” is dedicated to anyone who has lost themselves in a person or a situation, but who has the strength to reclaim their identity and power. The video complements this message with visuals that portray perseverance, emphasizing the idea that no matter how many times you're knocked down, you can always rise again—"get back on the horse 8 times when you’ve been thrown off 7."


Kristin Weber, who arranged the strings version of the track, shares her passion for this musical approach: “Aside from fiddling in a rock band, one of my other great loves is arranging strings for songs. I like working with different voices of an orchestra as if they are different colors in a painting. When our singer, SAVNT, brought this song to us and we began working it out, I immediately heard this strings version forming in my head—partially inspired by what my bandmates were playing. I’m so grateful that Ghost Hounds trusted me to take us into uncharted musical territories.”

Ghost Hounds are a country rock band with a heavy blues influence that proves the genre is not only alive but thriving for the next generation of rock fans. Fronted by SAVNT and backed by guitarists Tyler Chiarelli and Thomas Tull, fiddler Kristin Weber, bassist Bennett Miller, and drummer Sydney Driver, the band has made significant statements with their four studio albums. Ghost Hounds’ debut, Roses Are Black (2019), earned widespread acclaim from Billboard, American Songwriter, and more as well as millions of streams on streaming platforms. Their follow-up, A Little Calamity (2021), impressed with its classic rock sensibilities and the hit single “Good Old Days.” You Broke Me (2022) continued their tradition of blending classic blues rock with a modern flair. Their latest album, First Last Time (2023) via Gibson Records, features hit single “Last Train To Nowhere,” which racked up millions of hits via TikTok and Instagram, and was featured in Taylor Sheridan’s new TV show Special Ops: Lioness. Ghost Hounds have honed their sound on the road, having supported legendary acts like The Rolling Stones, ZZ Top, Garth Brooks, Guns N' Roses, and Bob Seger. With their chemistry at an all-time high, the band is set to bring even more blues-rock brilliance in the future.
