TEXAS SINGER-SONGWRITER DYLAN GOSSETT BACK 40 TOUR ACROSS NORTH AMERICA THIS FALL

Following his highly anticipated, sold-out No Better Time Tour that wrapped last week, breakout 25-year-old Texas singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Dylan Gossett announces he will embark on The Back 40 Tour across North America this fall. This time, Gossett will headline in nearly 30 cities across the US and Canada from September through November, including a hometown show at Austin’s Emo’s on September 10th, Los Angeles’ The Fonda Theatre on September 18th, Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on October 23rd, Toronto’s Danforth Music Hall on November 8th, New York’s Irving Plaza on November 16th, and many more. See the full list of tour dates below and at dylangossett.com/tour/. Tickets will go on-sale via pre-sale tomorrow, April 23rd at 10am local time and via public on-sale on Thursday, April 25th at 10am local time.

The No Better Time Tour, which sold-out immediately upon on-sale, received praise from fans and press alike, as Dylan performed his first-ever headline shows to packed venues across the country. Music Row applauded Gossett for his “signature sound and powerful storytelling,” while The Vanderbilt Hustler declared, “Dylan Gossett’s concert at Exit/In represented not just his Nashville debut but also a milestone in his journey as an artist.” In addition to his own headline shows, he will also make festival appearances this year at Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, CMA Fest in Nashville, Farewell Festival in Redmond, and more, as well as support to Midland on select dates. Not to mention, Dylan will return to the UK and Europe this summer for The Somewhere Between Tour, which has already sold-out in London, Manchester, Dublin, Glasgow, Belfast, and Amsterdam.

Dylan Gossett recently released his latest offering, Songs in the Gravel EP, via Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records. The four track project includes singles “Somewhere Between” and “Bitter Winds,” as well as fan favorite “If I Had A Lover.” Dylan wrote all four songs on the project and self-produced two, and he also teamed up with notable producers Eddie Spear[Zach Bryan, Brandi Carlile, A Star Is Born Soundtrack] on “Somewhere Between” and Ian Fitchuk [Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris, James Bay] on “If I Had A Lover.” Billboard praised the EP, saying, “Gossett’s career has surged since his viral hit ‘Coal,’ but with ‘If I Had a Lover,’ ‘Somewhere Between’ and more songs from his upcoming project, he’s proven he has plenty of top-shelf musical gems in his arsenal,” and Rolling Stone said, “The collection mixes storytelling and self-reflection, and Gossett delivers with authority in his voice. His vocals are classically raspy, but he has a range and confidence in his singing that slyly commands a listener’s attention.”

Songs in the Gravel is the follow-up project to Gossett’s 2023 critically acclaimed debut No Better Time EP, which cemented the Austin native as an artist to watch in 2024. Written, recorded, produced, and mixed by Dylan himself in his bedroom, No Better Time showcases the breadth of his talents. The EP includes his breakout smash hit single “Coal.” Beyond recently debuting on the Billboard Hot 100 (Gossett’s first career entry), “Coal” is now Certified Gold in the US and Australia and Platinum in Canada and Ireland with over 150 million global streams to date and recently shot back into the Spotify Top 200. Globally, “Coal” continues to shine as it charted on the Official Singles Chart Top 100 in the UK and reached the Top 5 on the Country Radio Chart in Australia.

Growing up in Austin, Dylan Gossett first picked up a guitar in middle school, teaching himself via YouTube and thanks to tips from his big brother. In between listening to classics from Alan Jackson, George Strait, Journey, The Eagles, Scorpions, and Boston with his family, he immersed himself in the records by Turnpike Troubadours, Flatland Cavalry, and Cody Johnson. Throughout his college years at Texas A&M University, he never stopped playing and singing. Passionate about Formula 1, Dylan took a job with Circuit of the Americas. In spring 2023, he began experimenting with posting his music online. He shared a rendition of The Lumineers’ “Ophelia” and eventually wound up gaining traction with a cover of Flatland Cavalry. As summertime rolled around, he caught fire with his independent debut single “To Be Free.” No doubt fueled by the “weed and gasoline” line, it exploded on TikTok and amassed millions of streams to date. However, his song “Coal” catalyzed his breakthrough.

ABOUT DYLAN GOSSETT:

Dylan Gossett is a 25-year-old singer-songwriter from Austin, TX. Dylan began writing and recording music during his early teen years using Garage Band on his mother’s computer. Throughout high school, college at Texas A&M, and a job at Formula 1 Racing, music remained Dylan’s true passion. Inspired to finally release music by a new generation of singer-songwriters he saw emerging online, Dylan began posting videos of his songs in April 2023 — immediately, his music struck a chord with a global audience.

Dylan released his first single “To Be Free” (entirely self-written, recorded, produced, and mixed in his bedroom) on June 30th, 2023. Shortly thereafter, he teased a snippet of what would become his next song and breakout viral hit “Coal.” The video instantly took off, gaining over 1 million views within the first week. He quickly got back into his bedroom and created the song from scratch before releasing it on July 27th. Since its release, “Coal” has garnered over 150 million global streams, received Gold Certifications in the US and Australia and Platinum Certifications in Canada and Ireland, debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US and the Official Singles Chart Top 100 in the UK, reached the Top 5 on the Country Radio Chart in Australia, and continues to climb the Spotify US Top 200. The New York Times called “Coal” “one of the year’s best country songs,” and Billboard declared, “‘Coal’ and ‘To Be Free’ position Gossett as a formidable, heart-on-his-sleeve singer-songwriter with immense potential.”

In October 2023, Dylan released his highly anticipated debut EP No Better Time (also self-written, recorded, produced, and mixed in his bedroom) via Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records. The EP received a slew of critical acclaim from The New York Times, Billboard, Grammy.com, Atwood Magazine, Music Row, Holler Country, Country Central, and more. On the touring front, this spring, he’s set to embark on his first-ever headline tour, dubbed the “No Better Time Tour,” across cities in North America and in London and Dublin — which sold-out immediately upon on-sale. Not to mention, he also recently supported Noah Kahan in arenas across Australia and Morgan Wallen at Houston’s Minute Maid Park, as well as opened for Wyatt Flores and Brent Cobb on their fall 2023 tours. This year, Dylan will be making his festival debuts at SXSW, Hangout Music Festival, Tortuga Music Festival, and Two Step Inn Festival.
