Latest Single “Dark Horse” Impacting Country Radio Monday (12/10)
Having just announced an upcoming six-date UK run with label-mates Dan +Shay, Atlantic Records/Warner Music Nashville recording artist Devin Dawson has also officially added Big Loud Records’ singer/songwriter Jillian Jacqueline to his own 2019 “Stray Off Course” tour. Jacqueline, his duet partner on “I Can’t Trust Myself,” will join the tour starting with the January 31st show in New York. Members of the brand new “Dark Horse Family” get early access to tickets among other exclusive content and benefits (SIGN UP HERE).
Called “one of country music’s most tender and articulate wordsmiths” by The Tennessean, the California-native knew he wanted to tell the story behind writing each song on his debut album Dark Horse. In order to do so, Dawson created Songs In the Key of F, an extended 12-part video series chronicling that creative process (WATCH HERE). On Friday (12/14), fans will also be able to listen to all 12 stripped-down tracks on Spotify as Dark Horse (Songs In The Key of F). Additionally, with the holidays quickly approaching, Dawson recorded and released his first holiday song, “Christmas Time is Here,” featured exclusively on the “Spotify Singles: Christmas Collection” playlist (LISTEN HERE).
“Dark Horse,” the title track to Dawson’s critically-acclaimed debut LP released earlier this year, now serves as the rising star’s latest single. Set to impact country radio on 12/10, American Songwriter says “Dawson gets raw and deeply personal [on ‘Dark Horse’]…it shows off the classic country vocals and acoustic guitar prowess he has come to be known and loved for. ‘Dark Horse’ gets to the heart of who Dawson is…” Called a “moody and confident stunner” by MusicRow, it showcases why his music “is true to country’s roots even as it stretches beyond them” (People).
