Cole Swindell
Even before he recorded his first album, Cole Swindell has some big hits to his name. Before he was a solo artist Swindell was an industry songwriter who penned singles for country radio staples like Craig Campbell, Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett and Scott McCreery. He also helped write Florida Georgia Line’s hit “This Is How We Roll.” Florida Georgia Line would later repay that favor, co-writing one of the singles from Swindell’s 2014 self-titled debut album, “Hope You Get Lonely Tonight.”
Swindell’s most recent album, 2016’s You Should Be Here, attests to his talents as both a star and a songwriter, with a mix of tender ballads (the sentimental single “Middle of a Memory”) and rowdy rockers (the opening track “Flatliner,” featuring fellow star Dierks Bentley). It also features quite a few songs about partying; the man loves a cold drink. Fans won’t have to wait too much longer for a follow-up. Swindell is scheduled to release his third album, All of It, on Aug. 17. He preceded it with a heart-tugging single “Break Up in the End.”
Country singer Michael Ray, known for his singles “Kiss You in the Morning” and “Think a Little Less,” will warm the stage for Swindell. (Evan Rytlewski)
