“ONE OF THE FUTURE STARS OF COUNTRY AND AMERICANA” –HOLLER

NASHVILLE, TENN. – Gearing up for what promises to be a massive year, Platinum-certified and critically acclaimed singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Dylan Gossett returns today with a brand new single entitled “Like I Do” out now via Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records—listen HERE. It marks his first release of 2025 following a breakthrough year and heralds more music to come from the buzzing Austin, Texas artist-to-watch.

“Like I Do” hinges on softly strummed acoustic guitar accented by Gossett’s dynamic and raw vocals as he wonders: Am I doing what I’m supposed to do? Do you remember it like I do? The emotion crescendos and overflows in the form of a hummable guitar solo punctuated by bluesy bends.

Dylan Gossett has emerged as one of the brightest new stars in country music. In less than two years, he has notched over 750 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 BillboardCountry 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 MusicRow named him among its Next Big Thing Class of 2025 Artists.

Selling over 72,000 tickets globally in 2024 alone, he continues his critically acclaimed The Back 40 Tour this spring across the U.S. and Canada—see the full list of tour dates below. Speaking to his global impact, he impressively took flight as one of the “Top 5 International Acts of 2024” as affirmed by ex-U.S. Consumption. Described as “one of country music’s most in-demand live draws” by Rolling Stone, he is canvasing the U.K. right now on Country 2 Country, has headlined Country 2 Country Berlin, and will grace the bill of the Stagecoach Festival for the first time on April 26. 

Capping off a monumental 2024, Gossett released his latest single “Tree Birds.” Grammy.com praised Gossett, saying, “The rising Americana sensation employs the perfect amount of harmonica to properly communicate just how head over heels in love he is on the giddy track;”while Holler declared him “[a] frontrunner of this next generation of red dirt singer-songwriters,” and Country Chord proclaimed, “He is one of the most exciting voices in the genre today. He once again captures lighting in a bottle on ‘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 much-talked-about Twisters: The Album Soundtrackwith his original song “Stronger Than A Storm.” Not to mention, he delivered a showstopping rendition of “Coal” during ESPN’sCollege GameDay at his alma mater Texas A&M—watch a clip of his performance HERE.

ABOUT DYLAN GOSSETT

Dylan Gossett is a 26-year-old singer-songwriter from Austin, Texas. Gossett began writing and recording music during his early teen years using Garage Band on his mother’s computer. Throughout high school, college at Texas A&M, and a job at Formula 1 Racing, music remained Gossett’s true passion. Inspired to finally release music by a new generation of singer-songwriters he saw emerging online, Dylan began posting videos of his songs in April 2023 — immediately, his music struck a chord with a global audience.

Gossett released his first single “To Be Free” (entirely self-written, recorded, produced, and mixed in his bedroom) in June 2023. Shortly thereafter, he teased a snippet of what would become his next song and breakout viral hit “Coal.” The video instantly took off, gaining over one million views within the first week. He quickly got back into his bedroom and created the song from scratch before releasing it in July 2023. Since its release, “Coal” has garnered over 750 million global streams, received Platinum Certifications in the U.S., Australia, Canada (2x) and Ireland (2x), debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. and the Official Singles Chart Top 100 in the U.K., reached the Top Five on the Country Radio Chart in Australia, and climbed the Spotify U.S. Top 200. The New York Times called “Coal” “one of the year’s best country songs,” and Billboard declared, “’Coal’ and ‘To Be Free’ position Gossett as a formidable, heart-on-his-sleeve singer-songwriter with immense potential.”

In October 2023, Gossett released his highly anticipated debut EP No Better Time (also self-written, recorded, produced, and mixed in his bedroom) via Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records. The EP received a slew of critical acclaim from The New York Times, Billboard, Grammy.com, Atwood Magazine, MusicRow, Holler, Country Central, and more. He then followed it up with his widely praised 2024 EP, Songs In The Gravel, which he wrote and self-produced, while also teaming up with notable producers Eddie Spear and Ian Fitchuk on a few tracks. On the touring front, his first-ever headline (and international) tour in spring 2024, dubbed the “No Better Time Tour,” sold-out immediately upon on-sale. He returned to the road last fall with his critically acclaimed “The Back 40 Tour.” Gossett also supported Noah Kahan in arenas across Australia and Morgan Wallen at Houston’s Minute Maid Park. Not to mention, he made his festival debuts at SXSW, CMA Fest, Hangout Music Festival, Tortuga Music Festival, Two Step Inn Festival, and more. Now, Gossett kicks off what promises to be a massive year with his new single “Like I Do” out now, ahead of the second leg of his “The Back 40 Tour” across North America and highly anticipated performances at Country 2 Country and Stagecoach Festival this spring.
