Israeli Country Artist Omer Netzer Debuts Emotional Ballad 'Midnight Blue' Out Now

Netzer Added to CMA FEST Performers

NASHVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, May 30, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Israeli singer-songwriter Omer Netzer releases soul-stirring ballad, “Midnight Blue,” out today. The buzz around Netzer resulted in an invite from the Country Music Association to perform at CMA Fest on the Spotlight Stage in Fan Fair X in the Music City Center, and Country Goes Global for a full-band set at Luke Combs’ club, Category 10.

Omer’s compelling story takes him from growing up in his parents’ music store in Israel, to serving twice in the Israeli military in combat, to finding his life purpose in music, to performing on Europe's largest stages, including touring with Bon Jovi, whose manager suggested he move to Nashville. The first Israeli artist to perform at CMA Fest, festival goers will get to experience Omer’s energetic performances, soulful voice, and warm smile that have captivated fans worldwide.

Netzer is currently finishing a project working with producer David “Messy” Mescon (known for his work with Dasha, Megan Moroney, and Tigirlily Gold), recorded at the iconic Fame Studios. "Midnight Blue," the first single from the project, was written by Omer and Stephen Hunley and is inspired by Omer’s vivid, haunting dream.

“I had a dream about an empty house with only pictures and memories left behind,” Netzer recalls. “That image stayed with me, and from it came the line, ‘my sun set when I lost you, now every night feels like midnight blue.”

Netzer is set to debut the new song at his CMA Fest performances.

About Omer Netzer:
Omer Netzer isn’t your average country artist. Born in Nahariya, Israel, he has lived a life as textured as his music. A former combat medic, chart-topping recording artist, equine therapist, and military veteran, Netzer returned to active duty after the October 7 attacks, serving a second combat tour before relocating to Nashville in early 2024.
Since arriving, he’s signed with Oscar Chavira at White Knuckle Productions, performed on sought-after stages like Whiskey Jam and CMA Fest (becoming the first Israeli artist to do so), and stunned industry executives at Country Radio Seminar with just his voice and an acoustic guitar. He is now working closely with producer David “Messy” Mescon (Megan Moroney, Nicki Minaj, Tigirlily Gold) to craft an EP that introduces his unique blend of country, southern rock, and soul to a wider audience. Omer Netzer’s music doesn’t just tell stories, it builds bridges. With grit, gratitude, and a voice full of heart, he’s proving the American dream is not only alive, it sings.
