Stephen St.Clair And Michael Simeon Join Forces For A New Take On 'Flower Shops'

Nashville recording and touring artist Stephen St. Clair steps into the spotlight with a powerful new rendition of the country hit.

NASHVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, October 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Nashville recording and touring artist Stephen St. Clair is making his next move with a new rendition of “Flower Shops,” joined by fellow Nashville artist Michael Simeon.

Originally recorded by ERNEST featuring Morgan Wallen, “Flower Shops” has become a recognizable modern country song of heartbreak, regret, and trying to make things right. St. Clair and Simeon bring their own chemistry and vocal approach to the song, staying true to its emotional core while putting the focus on their performances.

For St. Clair, however, “Flower Shops” is about more than another release.

It is another introduction.

Originally from Eagle Point, Oregon, St. Clair grew up surrounded by the music of country legends including George Strait, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Hank Williams, George Jones, and Merle Haggard. That foundation eventually led him to Nashville in 2019, where he began turning his passion for country music into a career.

Since arriving in Music City, St. Clair has built his experience where country artists learn how to perform: in front of real audiences. His live repertoire spans traditional country and ’90s country favorites, contemporary hits, and his own original music. His greatest strength is the connection he creates with the room.

St. Clair reads an audience, takes requests, adapts to the energy of the room, and makes people feel like part of the show rather than spectators. That live experience has become an important part of who he is as an artist—and is increasingly evident in his recorded music.

His previous release, “Without You,” showcased his affinity for the sound and storytelling of ’90s country. With “Flower Shops,” St. Clair takes another recognizable country song and makes it an opportunity to showcase his voice, interpretation, and ability to connect with material that demands genuine emotion.

A COLLABORATION ROOTED IN NASHVILLE

Joining St. Clair is Michael Simeon, a fellow Nashville recording and touring artist whose career includes a nationally televised appearance on American Idol XIV.

Simeon’s experience spans Nashville’s live music scene, touring, recording, private events, concerts, and festivals. His performance background complements St. Clair’s experience as a working artist, bringing two Nashville performers together for a collaboration rooted in live performance and country music.

MORE THAN A COVER

For St. Clair, the release represents something larger than simply recording a familiar song. It is part of a continued push to establish himself not only as a performer capable of filling a room, but as a recording artist with a growing catalog, a recognizable country foundation, and the ambition to take his music beyond the Nashville stage.

St. Clair is building his career the old-fashioned way: one song, one stage, and one audience at a time.

“Flower Shops” by Stephen St. Clair & Michael Simeon will be released October 16, 2026, on all major streaming platforms.
