This is my take on Dierks Bentley’s “Settle for a Slowdown.” I wanted to capture the heartfelt emotion and slow-burning storytelling of the original while giving it my own style. A laid-back country vibe mixed with perfect nostalgia—for when you need to just pause, reflect, and ride the moment.

Settle For A Slowdown

John Brasington writes with a heart full of scars and a soul that won’t quit. A South Georgia-based singer-songwriter whose roots run deep in honesty and raw emotion, John’s songs speak to redemption, heartache, and the quiet beauty found in pain. With a voice that carries both grit and grace, and lyrics that cut deep, his music feels like a late-night conversation with someone who’s been through it — and lived to sing about it. From haunting ballads to Southern-tinged anthems, every track is a piece of his story — real, unfiltered, and unforgettable.
