Dan Lowe’s Latest Single “Creatures of the Radio” Is a Rock & Roll Time Capsule

Dan Lowe’s latest single “Creatures of the Radio” is the kind of song that takes you somewhere.

It’s a highway at dusk, headlights stretching out ahead and the radio dial tuned to something that just gets you. It’s a love letter to the days when music crackled through the airwaves and felt like it was speaking directly to you. Because back then, it was.

From the opening bars, there’s an undeniable pull. The guitars shimmer with that unmistakable classic rock warmth, the rhythm section pushes forward with a steady drive, and then there’s that saxophone —rich, full-bodied, a little Springsteen, a little Seger, but entirely its own thing.

Patrick Lamb’s solo tells a story, cutting through like a late-night signal from some distant station.

Dan Lowe’s voice carries the weight of the song. It’s soulful, and with just the right amount of grit. The lyrics capture the magic of growing up with the radio as a constant companion, a lifeline to something bigger. And when the chorus hits it’s anthemic in the best way, built for rolling down windows and belting it out under the stars.

This song is really a reminder of why rock and roll sticks to your bones. And the way it came together makes it even more special.

Lowe recorded “Creatures of the Radio” as part of an “Artist in Residence” program, bringing in students from a digital audio program to be part of the process. That kind of organic, hands-on approach bleeds into the sound; there’s a live energy that makes it feel like it was meant to be heard loud, in a room full of people who just get it.

The timing couldn’t be better for Lowe. He just advanced in Tennessee Songwriters Week after a standout performance at Motif on Music Row, landing himself a spot at the Franklin Theatre showcase on March 1st. If he makes it through, he will perform at the legendary Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. A place where careers are made and stories are told.

“Creatures Of The Radio” is the first of a set of tracks planned to be released monthly during 2025 – capping it off with the release of the full album (also titled “Creatures Of The Radio”) to coincide with the final track release in December.

This is the follow-up to “No Running From The Storm (Songs Of Life, Love, And Loss)” – the previous release by Dan Lowe & The Skeletal Remains.

Lowe is certainly tapping in to the magic of music here, with much more to come.
