New Release: Kalyn Beasley Takes Us Somewhere Raw and Real with “Had to Go There”

From the windswept ridges of Northern Wyoming comes a song that feels both deeply personal and universally familiar. Kalyn Beasley, the acclaimed songwriter and storyteller whose songs echo the wide-open spaces he calls home, has just released a new single, “Had to Go There.”

Known for his vivid, narrative-driven songwriting, Beasley once again delivers a track that feels like a chapter torn from a worn leather journal — the kind you might find stashed in the saddlebag of a cowboy-poet. “Had to Go There” is steeped in heartache, memory, and that irresistible human urge to revisit places — literal or emotional — that we swore we’d left behind.

Kalyn Beasley Explores Self-Discovery and Breaking the Rules in New Country Anthem

Hailing from Northern Wyoming, Kalyn Beasley is an authentic Westerner. His life as a cowboy, rodeo hand, pilot, bookseller, and outdoorsman provides a rich tapestry of experiences that inspire his songs. Today, Beasley releases his newest single, “Goodbye BYU”. The track speaks to the time in one’s life when you have to question the rules and find your own path.
