Hailing from Austin, Texas, 26 year old singer, songwriter and producer Dylan Gossett has quickly become a rising face of Texas country with his signature blend of Americana and Red Dirt influences and lyricism rooted in his southern upbringing. The multi-Platinum certified singer and songwriter initially took flight in 2023 with his breakthrough single “Coal,” which has now passed half-a-billion streams. “Coal” struck a chord with global audiences, cracking the Billboard Hot 100 and UK Official Singles Chart and picking up multi-platinum certifications around the world, with tastemakers like The New York Times declaring “Coal” “One of the year’s best country songs.”
Gossett continued his rise with the No Better Time EP [2023] and Songs In The Gravel EP [2024], which he self-wrote, recorded, and produced. Keeping up this pace, he gained further traction with singles such as “To Be Free,” “Beneath Oak Trees,” “If I Had A Lover,” “Tree Birds” and more. Over the last two years, he has tirelessly toured the globe while building a formidable fanbase. He notably sold north of 72,000 headline tickets in 2024 alone. Not to mention, he’s become a standout at festivals including Stagecoach Festival, SXSW, CMA Fest, Country 2 Country, and more, in addition to making his Grand Ole Opry debut and supporting superstars like Noah Kahan and Morgan Wallen for select dates.
It’s no wonder major players such as Spotify, Amazon, and The New York Times pegged him as an “Artist To Watch” in 2024, while MusicRow named him among its “Next Big Thing Class of 2025 Artists” and Rolling Stone hailed him as “One of country music’s most in-demand live draws.” This career-defining momentum set the stage for his 2025 full-length debut Westward, set for release July 18th via Big Loud Texas/Mercury Records. Once again, Dylan self-produced and wrote the entire album, with three songs co-written with close friend and bandmate Colton Forrest Hardy. Led by singles “Like I Do,” “American Trail,” and “Sweet Lady,” the album thematically ponders the nature of love, family, faith, and what it means to pursue a lifelong dream. He turns his direction Westward now with this epic debut body of work and upcoming The Westward Tour this fall.
