Fourth album available January 17th
Broken Bow Records hitmaker Dustin Lynch is using his fourth album to recount the country saga of a true โSmall Town Boy,โ setting January 17th for the release of Tullahoma via BBR Music Group.
Named after the acclaimed starโs Tennessee hometown, the ambitious self-portrait comes after eight years of sustained success including six No 1’s, six gold and platinum certifications and membership in the historic Grand Ole Opry โ but it finds Lynch taking stock of himself like never before.
โItโs all about me and growing up in my hometown,โ he explains. โEvery song on this album points to something that happened to me or my close friends and family, and thatโs really cool. Iโm very proud of where Iโm from, and proud of this record because it will hopefully make my hometown a little more famous than it already is.โ
Incorporating the three songs on Lynchโs Ridin’ Roads EP โ including his current single of the same name โ and most-recent No. 1 โGood Girl,โ Tullahoma marks a creative step forward for both the artist and his co-writer/co-producer, Zach Crowell. The longtime friends spearheaded the project from start to finish โ the first time Lynch has used a single producer for a whole album โ letting a universal story about coming of age and discovering yourself unfold.
โIโve done a lot more living than Iโve done in the past, because this is the first time Iโve been able to tour and also feel like I have a life outside of that,โ says the hard-working artist, who just finished another milestone year on Thomas Rhettโs Very Hot Summer Tour.
โItโs figuring out what I enjoy about life the most โ outside of music. The kind of stuff my mom and dad, my family and my friends back home did growing up. Outdoors stuff like hunting and fishing, hanging out in the backyard around a bonfire, just connecting,” Lynch shares. “I long to be that kid again, and I think we all do. You get to a certain point in life and start reflecting on why youโre where youโre at โฆ and Iโve just figured out thatโs what makes me tick. Thatโs why I work hard.โ
In addition to the album, Lynch is also announcing his next headlining run โ fittingly dubbed the Stay Country Tour 2020. Kicking off January 30th in Detroit, Michigan, the trek will crisscross the entire U.S. with opener Travis Denning.
Tickets for select dates of the Stay Country Tour 2020 go on sale Friday, November 15th at 10 am local time, and a portion of each sale will benefit The Cowboys and Angels Fund โ which supports various philanthropic causes including an intentional focus on childrenโs charities. The Cowboys and Angels Fund was established by Lynch in 2018 at The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee to help to make a difference in the lives of those in need.
