Black Stone Cherry Drop Uplifting ‘Celebrate’ Music Video & Announce New EP

November 14, 2025 rocknews

Kentucky hard rock heroes Black Stone Cherry are toasting life’s small wins with the release of their brand-new single and music video “Celebrate”, the title track from their upcoming Celebrate EP, due March 6, 2026 via Mascot Records.

Following lead single “Neon Eyes”, the “Celebrate” video – directed by Kyle Loftus – is a joyful explosion of confetti, office rebellion, and pure feel-good energy. Starring actor/musician Aaron Paulsen, it captures the thrill of breaking free from the grind, perfectly mirroring the song’s message: every little victory counts.

“We wanted the video to show what it’s like to be stuck… and how any little opportunity can lead to a small victory! The song is about celebrating every little thing in life, even if it’s just making it through the day… The confetti at the end was one of our main requests as we wanted to visually show what it mentally feels like to celebrate inside your mind!” – Black Stone Cherry

Celebrate EP – Tracklist (Out March 6, 2026)

Self-produced at High Street Studios in Bowling Green, KY, the 7-track EP is raw, real, and packed with contrasts: muscular hooks, grunge-tinged melancholy, and soul-baring honesty.

Celebrate
Neon Eyes
Caught Up In The Up Down
I’m Fine
Deep
What You’re Made of
Don’t You (Forget About Me)(Simple Minds cover ft. Tyler Connolly of Theory of a Deadman)

From Nirvana-laced dreaminess to gut-punch ballads, Celebrate is a snapshot of four friends nearing 40, channeling life, loss, and love into unpolished rock.

The Stories Behind the Songs

“Deep”: Inspired by guitarist Ben Wells’ personal fertility struggles and miscarriage – written two days after the loss.
“Don’t You (Forget About Me)”: A strapping, sensual take on the Breakfast Club classic, with Tyler Connolly adding gravel and heart.
“I’m Fine”: Woozy, grunge-singalong perfection.

“Any piece of art is a snapshot of that artist’s life… These songs are a culmination of everything we’ve lived since Screamin’ At The Sky.” – Chris Robertson
