“…(the video is) emotive and thought-provoking, using the beauty of Tennessee’s Big East Fork Valley as the backdrop for a heartbreaking story,” Christine Vinson, The Boot

“A pair of real life couples offer a powerful romantic warning in Gone West’s new video for “What Could’ve Been,” bringing the message of their debut single to life,” Chris Parton, Sounds Like Nashville

The new video for “What Could’ve Been” from GONE WEST, featuring Colbie Caillat, has struck the hearts of country music fans and critics everywhere, tallying one million views this week. Released earlier this month, and premiering on People (HERE), “What Could’ve Been”, with 45 first week major market adds, was also the most added track by a debut artist this year and has reached 5.7 million cumulative streams!

The Triple Tiger Records artists have been on tour and at radio, have been honored to play the Grand Ole Opry three times in the last year and recently announced they will be opening for Country Music Hall of Famer George Strait in Las Vegas on January 31^st and February 1^st 2020, and for country superstar Kenny Chesney on June 6^th 2020.

Directed by Patrick Tracy, and filmed in Franklin, TN at the “Fork Inn” of Big East Fork Valley in the beautiful landscape of the Tennessee Hills, the video features the band’s two couples acting out the “before” and “after” of a broken romance and its heartbreak. “What Could’ve Been” was produced by Jamie Kenney and written by Gone West and Kenney.

Gone West premiered the track with a live performance on Kelly & Ryan.  It has been #1 on the Disney Country Charts for the last 4 weeks.

Gone West is 2X Grammy winning singer songwriter Colbie Caillat, Grammy nominated songwriter Jason Reeves, 4x Hawaiian Music Award winner Justin Kawika Young and Grammy, ACM and CMT nominee Nelly Joy.  Together they have over 4.7 BILLION streams!!!

“What Could’ve Been” has since had an overwhelmingly positive reception:

“…stunning Debut Single ‘What Could’ve Been’…. with stirring four-part harmonies and a captivating storyline, “What Could’ve Been” is a stripped-down ballad of love lost.” -Billboard

““What Could’ve Been,” the group’s first single, channels Fleetwood Mac by way of Lady Antebellum, filtering a coed vocal attack through a prism of heartbroken lyrics, layered harmonies and gauzy guitars. “ -Rolling Stone

The four have collaborated musically for fourteen years, but it was while on a personal break from one of the most musical pop breakthroughs of the last several years, Caillat and her fiancée Young decided to head to Nashville where Caillat’s frequent co-writer Reeves was living with his wife Nelly Joy.

Suddenly a creative incubator for four friends turned into GONE WEST, a fresh harmony, breezy melody group whose myriad influences landed somewhere between Laurel Canyon, Texas roadhouses, Appalachia’s harmony and the plains of the Midwest.  In a short time, they were invited to perform at the Grand Ole Opry and signed to Triple Tigers.  For Caillat, who’d already collaborated with Taylor Swift and Brad Paisley, as well as CMA Song of the Year winner Liz Rose, it felt like a homecoming.
