Fort Worth Americana artist Simon Flory hit the airwaves this week with his brand new single, “Truth Ain’t Hard To Find”—from his forthcoming album Man of Visions.

“I wrote this song to find my own truth to power, my own hope in solidarity, to question my own truths, and to recommit myself to truth against today’s pick-a-side partisan climate,” Flory said in a release about the single.
