TEXAS SINGER & SONGWRITER DYLAN GOSSETT ANNOUNCES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DEBUT ALBUM ‘WESTWARD’ OUT JULY 18TH
Platinum-Certified and critically acclaimed singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Dylan Gossett reveals his long awaited debut album, Westward, will be arriving on July 18th via Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records. Gossett announced Westward’s release with an official album trailer, sharing “This album is a collection of stories that I wrote during the craziest two years of my life. I hope everyone can find something for themselves in it.”
In celebration of the announcement, Gossett drops his newest single “American Trail” and watch an acoustic live performance of the song recorded at Austin’s Orb Studios HERE. He debuted “American Trail” live for the very first time this past weekend during his Stagecoach Festival debut, where he drew a packed crowd at his Palomino Stage evening set.
Written over the span of the past two years while touring the globe, the 17-track album was written and entirely self-produced by Gossett. Westward features Gossett’s signature heart-on-his-sleeve storytelling and explores themes of love, family, faith, and chasing one’s dreams.
On the touring front, Gossett sold over 72,000 global tickets in 2024 alone. Currently on the second leg of his headline “The Back 40 Tour” across the U.S. and Canada, he recently announced he’ll hit the road once again this July on “The American Trail Tour,” which will make stops across the midwest and west. His festival run will also continue, with performances at Lonestar Smokeout Festival, Carolina Country Festival, Bourbon & Beyond, Windy City Smokeout, and Under The Big Sky. In addition, Gossett announced his debut at Nashville’s legendary Grand Ole Opry on June 4th as part of their “Opry 100 Celebrates CMA Fest” event—more information and tickets are available HERE.
Dylan Gossett has emerged as one of the biggest and brightest new stars in country music. In less than two years, he has notched over 800 million total streams. His breakout single “Coal” picked up a Platinum Certification in the United States, in addition to going Silver in the U.K., Platinum in Australia, 2x-Platinum in Canada, and 2x-Platinum in Ireland. The song marked his first entry on the Spotify U.S. Top 200 Chart, Billboard Hot 100 Chart, and U.K. Official Singles Chart Top 100. Not to mention, it broke into the Top 25 of the Billboard Country Digital Songs Chart and Top 5 of the Spotify Viral 50 U.S. and Global Charts. It’s no wonder major players such as Spotify and Amazon pegged him as an “Artist To Watch” in 2024, while Music Row named him among its “Next Big Thing Class of 2025 Artists.”
Capping off a monumental 2024, Gossett released his fan favorite single “Tree Birds” last fall. Amazon Music also tapped Dylan to contribute “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right (Amazon Music Original);” plus, he was featured on the GRAMMY-nominated Twisters: The Album Soundtrack with his original song “Stronger Than A Storm.” Not to mention, he delivered a showstopping rendition of “Coal” during ESPN’s College GameDay at his alma mater Texas A&M—watch a clip of his performance HERE.
