The Iowa native shared the news with fans on his Instagram account, and “Wild Thing” is now available on all music platforms.
Since announcing the release on Instagram, his co-stars could not wait to celebrate in the comments. Eric Martsolf, who plays Brady, wrote, “Takes a Wild Thing to know one. Congrats on the drop, Player. Come hear it live this weekend in Tacoma & Sacramento.” Brandon Barash, who played Stefan DiMera, added, “Love this song.”
Carson Boatman Returns to His Music Roots
Days of Our Lives fans know Boatman for his run as Johnny DiMera on the long-running, Emmy-winning drama series. During his time on the show, he quickly became a fan favorite.
Beyond Salem, Boatman has appeared in projects like RUNT on Prime Video and Bedeviled on Netflix.
Before stepping into the world of daytime drama, Boatman was already making music. He was previously signed to Island Records as part of the band Citizen Four. These days, when he is not on set, he is often on tour.
Touring With The Day Players
Boatman performs across the U.S. and Canada with his band The Day Players. The group was founded in early 2022 and features four of the leading men from Days of Our Lives. They have played sold out shows in cities nationwide, giving fans a chance to see their favorite stars in a completely different light.
Boatman is among several Days of Our Lives cast members, including Raven Bowens (Chanel), Leo Howard (Tate), and Ashley Puzemis (Holly), who were let go earlier this year when the show returned from its holiday hiatus.
