CRAIG CAMPBELL TO RELEASE “BETTER BY THE SEA” JUNE 12, 2026

Fresh off his compelling “Drink For That” single, country star Craig Campbell is set to kick off summer in great musical style with his “Better By The Sea” release on June 12, 2026. Written by Craig with Greg White, Jason Cannon, and Mitch Rossell, Bart Busch produced the track for Grindstone Recordings via Vydia.

The sand and sun
The coconut rum
Beach band playing island songs
The breeze and the tide
The waves you can ride
Til all your troubles are gone
Life can be good wherever you are
But if you’re asking me
Life is better
Yeah it’s so much better by the sea

“When Greg, Jason and Mitch wrote this, fall was just starting to hit, and we were already missing summer,” said Craig. “No matter where you are when you hear this song, it’ll take you right to those great memories at the beach!”

Craig has announced additional celebrities participating in the 12th Annual Craig Campbell Celebrity Cornhole Challenge. As a recent guest on Heartland Networks’ “The Chuck Wicks Show,” cornhole celebrity participant Wicks started trash talking about Craig, his family and participating in the tournament.
