ABOUT COREY KENT
A new-school country rocker with a reputation for red-dirt swagger and blue-collar grit, Sony Music Nashville artist Corey Kent is a proud husband, father and creative freedom fighter, who has grown from humble heartland roots into a Platinum certified hit maker with a symbolic black bandana on his neck. A Bixby, Oklahoma native now based in Dallas, Kent rose from the vibrant red dirt country scene and first hit Nashville as a teen – but after the pandemic sent him packing, he moved to Texas and joined a paving crew to pay the bills, stubbornly refusing to call music quits.
The 2022 hit single “Wild As Her” proved he was right to never give in, becoming a Platinum-certified No. 1 at country radio and the lead single off his major label album debut, Blacktop, propelling the star to 750 million career streams and ones-to-watch accolades from CMT Listen Up, Opry Next Stage and more. The independently minded singer-songwriter has gone on to tour in support of Jason Aldean, Ashley McBryde and others.
Featuring 10 fresh tracks like the current single “Now Or Never (feat. Lauren Alaina)” and full-circle ballad “Never Ready,” Kent’s sophomore album Black Bandana continues his story of against-the-odds inspiration, mixing themes of integrity, resilience and family with a sonic setting at the midway point between Bruce Springsteen and Brooks & Dunn. Corey Kent is headed on the road for his headline Black Bandana Tour, where he continues to rock his signature black bandana – a rally cry to never surrender, and never wave a white flag.
ABOUT GEORGE BIRGE
Nashville artist-songwriter George Birge returns to Country radio with “Cowboy Songs” after supercharging the charts with his first No. 1 single, “Mind On You.” The addictive hit landed on Billboard's all-genre Hot 100 list and is from his debut album, George Birge: Mind On You. American Songwriter praises, “George Birge has a talent for taking a simple concept and turning it into an in-depth song” as PEOPLE hails he is “Always Meant for the Solo Spotlight.” Named Billboard’s Country Rookie of the Month (January) and one of Nashville Lifestyles’ “Artists You Need To Know,” Birge’s star is on the rise with his TV debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The Austin, Texas native is currently on the road supporting Dylan Scott for select dates before joining Luke Bryan’s Country Song Came On Tour. He has previously shared the stage with Brantley Gilbert, Jake Owen, Matt Stell, Gary Allan, Scotty McCreery, and more.
