If you’re looking for a fresh voice that brings heart, grit, and a damn good story, Daniel Jeffers just dropped exactly what you need. His debut project, Not Yet The E.P., is here and it’s a four-song ride that’s as real as it gets. Co-written with heavy-hitters Bobby Hamrick and Justin Halpin, the collection shows off Jeffers’ ability to turn life’s highs and lows into songs that hit you right in the chest.
“After putting out a few singles in 2024, I knew I wanted to take that next step and put together a project that really showed who I am as an artist,” Jeffers tells Raised Rowdy. “These four songs cover a lot of ground — from the fun side of me to the more reflective side — and I think they give folks a real glimpse of what I can bring to the table. I’m proud of how it all came together, and I can’t thank Bobby Hamrick and Justin Halpin enough for believing in me and investing so much time over those six months. I’m truly grateful for everyone who had a hand in shaping these songs.”
That gratitude shows. From the title track “Not Yet,” which kicks things off with a heartbreak you can feel in your gut, to “If This Town Could Talk,” which closes the EP with an emotional punch, Jeffers keeps it real the whole way through. “Ain’t About You” and “Do Me A Favor” bring a balance of swagger and vulnerability, giving listeners the full spectrum of what this newcomer is capable of.
And don’t think this is just another cookie-cutter country debut. Jeffers wrote these songs with purpose, crafting them with Hamrick and Halpin over six months of workshopping and narrowing down a stack of tunes until the best of the best rose to the top. The result? A project that feels like sitting across the bar from your buddy telling you his story — authentic, raw, and ready to blast through the speakers.
“There was an instant connection between Bobby, Justin, and me, and after our first write, we knew we wanted to work on a project,” Jeffers explains. “We crafted about 7-8 songs, we narrowed it down to these four, and I’m so proud of how they turned out. The arrangement tells a story about a heartbreak, where you and a girl aren’t meant to be; at least not yet.”
If you’re looking for new music to crack a cold one to, crank in your truck, or just get lost in on a Friday night, Not Yet The E.P. should be at the top of your playlist.
