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 U.S. and Canada from September through November, including a hometown show at Austin’s Emo’s on September 10, Los Angeles’ The Fonda Theatre on September 18, Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on October 23, Toronto’s Danforth Music Hall on November 8, New York’s Irving Plaza on November 16, and more. Tickets will be available via presale tomorrow, April 23 at 10 a.m. local time and via public on-sale on Thursday, April 25 at 10 a.m. local time.
The No Better Time Tour, which sold-out immediately upon on-sale, received praise from fans and press alike, as Gossett performed his first-ever headline shows to packed venues across the country. MusicRow 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, Gossett 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, he returns 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.
Gossett 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 Gossett 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 U.S. 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 Five on the Country Radio Chart in Australia.
