Styles Haury Finds Meaning Beyond the Daily Grind on 5 To 9 EP, Out Now
New Six-Track Collection Captures the Heart of Working-Class Life, Family & Faith Through Honest Storytelling – Listen Here
NASHVILLE, TN (May 15, 2026) – Rising country artist and chart-topping songwriter Styles Haury releases his deeply personal 5 To 9 EP today, available everywhere now – listen here. Produced by Phil O’Donnell and Chris DeStefano, the six-track collection captures the reality of modern working-class life – from raising children and leaning on loved ones during hard seasons to chasing dreams while carrying the weight of everyday responsibility. Through heartfelt storytelling and emotionally honest songwriting, 5 To 9 EP offers a relatable snapshot of the moments that shape who we are. From heartfelt reflections on fatherhood and perseverance to songs about heartbreak, faith and personal growth, the project establishes Haury as one of Nashville’s most compelling rising voices.
“These songs are my real life,” says Haury. “I’m living the same balancing act so many people are — trying to chase big dreams while making sure your family, your faith and your priorities stay at the center of it all. 5 To 9 is about the hours spent outside of the job and daily grind, where the most meaningful parts of life actually happen.”
Co-penning all six songs on the project, Haury offers a different perspective on the balancing act of everyday life throughout 5 To 9 EP. Opening track “Help Sometimes” reflects on carrying life’s weight through personal tragedy and learning to lean on friends and community during difficult seasons while “Broke Down In My Truck” delivers a clever twist on a familiar tale of heartbreak and healing – emoting the kind of hurt no warranty can fix and no quick repair can solve. “Cinderella Story” serves as a heartfelt letter from a father to his daughters, capturing both the joy and fear that come with watching his children grow up too fast. Fan-favorite “Boxes” reminds listeners to prioritize what matters most amid the constant pressure of the daily grind, while “Teach ‘Em” focuses on the small moments and important values that shape children into who they’ll eventually become. The title track ties the project together with an honest look at the exhausting but meaningful pursuit of the American dream – the many late nights spent playing catch up on responsibilities and the quiet sacrifices that build a life and legacy.
