His history-making and prolific career has included nearly two decades of chart-topping hits, including 'Dirt Road Anthem,' 'Don't You Wanna Stay,' 'Fly Over States,' 'She's Country,' 'Big Green Tractor,' 'Amarillo Sky' and more. The Grammy-nominated hit-maker earned the most Top 10 songs on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart-more than any other artist- since his debut in 2005, with 'songs of small-town living, love and loss that have resonated with a loyal fanbase' (Billboard). With the 2023 release of his 11th studio album, HIGHWAY DESPERADO, and his sold-out nationwide Highway Desperado Arena Tour, Aldean continued his 'country superstar status' (Variety). The album earned the Georgia native his first career Hot 100 chart-topping hit with 'Try That In A Small Town'- which earned Billboard Award nominations (2023) for 'Top Song Sales Artist' and 'Top Selling Song'- as well as the fan-favorite track 'Let Your Boys Be Country' and current single, 'Whiskey Drink.' Produced by longtime producer Michael Knox, Highway Desperado followed Aldean's double album, MACON, GEORGIA, which earned the singer/songwriter praise for honing 'in on his vision for this era of his career' and kicking off 'his career's next era' (The Tennessean). The project's featured the history-making, multi-week No. 1 Grammy-nominated 'powerful duet' (Rolling Stone) 'If I Didn't Love You' with Carrie Underwood, which won ACM Single of the Year, iHeartRadio Country Song of the Year, and CMT Collaborative Video of the Year as well as Billboard and GRAMMY nominations. Currently in the studio working on new music, Aldean most recently graced the cover of Hook & Barrel Magazine's January 2025 Cover, where he spoke about his career to date and new music and what is on the horizon in 2025. For more information, visit About Corey Kent: 'Poised to be country's latest red dirt star' (Rolling Stone), Corey Kent, a proud husband and father, has become a decorated artist on the rise, growing from humble heartland roots into a Triple-Platinum certified No. 1 hit maker with one billion career streams. Rising from the vibrant Red Dirt country scene as the embodiment of authenticity, Kent set his sights on Nashville as a teen, bringing his self-penned catalog of country-rock anthems with him. But after the pandemic coincided with the loss of his first publishing deal, Kent was forced to move to Texas and get a job on a paving crew to pay the bills, yet he stubbornly refused to call music quits, with honky-tonks and dancehalls on both sides of the Red River becoming his stomping ground. Fast forward a few years and the hit single 'Wild As Her' proved he was right all along. An untamed tribute to a free-spirited stunner, the track re-invigorated Kent's career as a now Triple-Platinum-certified No. 1 at country radio, and the lead single off his major label album debut, Blacktop. Despite never cracking country radio's Top 40, Kent's trust-your-gut second single 'Something's Gonna Kill Me' went Gold, proving his message was connecting. And momentum kept building, with Kent hitting the road alongside Jason Aldean, Ashley McBryde, Parker McCollum and more. Next-big-thing accolades came in from CMT, Opry Next Stage and more, but even as Kent became the most played new artist on country radio for all of 2023, he kept the underdog, who-cares-about-conventional-wisdom mentality. And so did his fans. For Kent, the point was that his fans have the same independent spirit he does, and he took that lesson into his next chapter. Settled into his ranch in Texas and intent on being fully present with his family while also achieving his dreams, Kent most recently released his sophomore major-label album, Black Bandana, to critical acclaim, with MusicRow Magazine describing the title track as 'gently but unrelentingly uplifting.' Often seen with a black bandana around his neck, Black Bandana holds great meaning for Kent – it's his rally cry. This album is about finding balance, keeping clear eyes on what's important – and waving that Black Bandana for all to see. For the latest news and information about Corey Kent, visit
