Denver, October 28 2026 — Following on his top 10 charting debut album, Indie Folk Singer-Songwriter Chris Rusin returns with a reassuring new single “Stars Above,” releasing 10/28/26 via Rushing River Records.

About The New Single, “Stars Above”

“Stars Above” showcases Rusin’s ability to provide comfort and authenticity through even the most challenging parts of life. “With ‘Stars Above’ I wanted to write a love song that also doubles as a beacon for humanity at the edge of AI,” says Rusin. On a literal level, “Stars Above” is about the miracle of love as a guide, as stability, and as a harbor. However, Rusin is also singing about humanity today at the dawn of AI. “I believe we’re underestimating the identity crisis that will arise for humans when we are no longer the best at everything. I believe love and connection are the answer to this challenge, too.”

For Stars Above, Chris enlisted producer Andrew Berlin (Gregory Alan lsakov) and the Grammy winning team at the Blasting Room Studios in Fort Collins, CO. “I wanted this song to feel comforting and almost meditative with big resonant open tuning on guitar, whispery vocals, roomy banjo, upright bass, and a harmonium bed,” says Chris. He is joined by some of the best musicians along the Colorado front range including John Paul Grigsby on Upright Bass, Josh Deal on Banjo, Mandolin, and harmonium, and Shane Zweygardt on Drums. This single is the first of a series of new singles coming soon. Join The List To Stay In The Loop 🙂
