Shane Stevens Unveils Duet With Sara Evans "I Can't Quit" With Live Grand Ole Opry Performance
Shane Stevens, a Grammy and ACM nominated singer-songwriter, has unveiled his latest single "I Can't Quit," a compelling duet featuring celebrated country artist Sara Evans. The track, which made its debut on February 21, 2025, masterfully combines their distinctive voices in a collaboration destined to resonate with country music enthusiasts.
Stevens, known for his versatility in both country and pop genres, co-wrote "I Can't Quit" in 2016 with Nash Overstreet, Nikki Williams, and Jimmy Robbins. The song remained unreleased for several years before Stevens decided to record it himself, with Evans as his chosen duet partner. This collaboration is not their first; Stevens and Evans have a long-standing friendship and have written numerous songs together over the years.
Sara Evans shared her enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, "When Shane played me this song, I instantly loved it! I was so honored to sing on such a well-crafted song. We have written a lot of songs together and have sung together a lot, but more precious to me is our long friendship. We sound great together, and I can't wait for the world to hear this duet!"
The release of "I Can't Quit" marks a significant moment in Stevens' career as he steps into the spotlight as a performer. While he has achieved considerable success as a songwriter, penning hits for various artists, this single represents his foray into recording his own music. Stevens and Evans debuted the song live at The Grand Ole Opry on February 22, 2025, as part of the Opry's 100th anniversary celebration, a performance that held special significance for Stevens.
The Grammy and ACM-nominated songwriter's impressive portfolio includes collaborations with industry titans such as Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler, and Meghan Trainor. His first Billboard #1 on the Hot Country Songs chart came in 2010 with "American Honey," performed by Lady A. In 2021, he co-wrote the massive hit "Fancy Like" by Walker Hayes, which topped multiple charts and earned him a Grammy nomination.
As Stevens launches this new chapter in his career with "I Can't Quit," he continues to balance his songwriting commitments with his emerging role as a performer. The single, released via Melody Place, is available on all major streaming platforms. With his extensive experience in the music industry and his proven track record of creating hit songs, Stevens' transition into recording and performing his own music is highly anticipated by fans and industry insiders alike.
