Bryan Duncan Releases 'Every Father Is a Son' in Time for Father's Day

Bryan Duncan is releasing his father/son duet Every Father Is A Son to radio stations worldwide to celebrate Father's Day and to honor Dads Who Serve and Fathers Who Serve throughout June.

The song, a poignant look at a relationship between a father and his son, features Bryan Duncan's youngest son, Devin, sharing the lead vocals. Devin approached his father about recording the song together for their family.

"My grandfather was in declining health and I thought the song would be meaningful for our family," says Devin Duncan. "I wasn't thinking about recording the song with my dad for an album."

"This song is about the idea of passing on the torch from one generation to the next," says Bryan Duncan. I made the decision to include the song on my Conversations album after my dad died.

"Everything changes when your dad passes away. You think about things you never thought about before. You realize you don't know how much time you've got with your family. I wanted to share this experience with Devin and the song with fathers and their children everywhere."

Bryan and Devin aren't the only dad and son on Every Father Is A Son. Jason Palmer plays drums on the song and his son, Isaac, plays the military-style snare that opens and closes the track.

"When the opportunity to play on Bryan's Conversations album came up it was a dream come true for me," says Jason Palmer. But I never imagined being able to share the experience with my son.

"Bryan knows Isaac is an incredible snare drummer, and the song is about things a father and his son share, so Bryan suggested we include Isaac on the song."

Duncan is donating Every Father Is A Son to the Dads Who Serve and Fathers Who Serve campaigns, which run throughout June.

Dads Who Serve honors and encourage dads - teachers, coaches, volunteers and others - who serve children directly. These dads invest in children by giving their talents, time and attention. Anyone can give a dad who serves a free copy of Every Father Is A Son at DadsWhoServe.org.

Fathers Who Serve pays tribute to fathers who serve their communities and country as first responders and in the military. These fathers make sacrifices that may include missing significant celebrations, like Father's Day, with their children. Anyone can give Duncan's father/son duet free to a father who serves at FathersWhoServe.org.

Duncan's generosity isn't limited to donating his song. He's also giving away free downloads of his entire album to people who use Every Father Is A Son to create a YouTube or Vimeo video honoring their dads. Details are available at Duncan's YouTube channel.

Bryan Duncan has released 14 solo albums, including his new album Conversations, selling in excess of 1.2 million records and videos.
