TEXAS
SINGER-SONGWRITER DYLAN GOSSETT DROPS NEW SINGLE “SWEET LADY” TODAY
From
His Forthcoming Debut Album Westward Out July 18
The
Westward Tour Across North America This Fall Is On Sale Now
NASHVILLE,
TENN. (June 6, 2025) – Platinum-certified and critically acclaimed singer,
songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Dylan Gossett unveils
his latest offering, “Sweet Lady,” from his much-anticipated
forthcoming debut album, Westward, out next month on July
18 via Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records.
Written over the span of the past two years while touring the globe, the 17-track Westward album was written and entirely self-produced by Gossett. It features his signature heart-on-his-sleeve storytelling and explores themes of love, family, faith and chasing one's dreams. His new single “Sweet Lady” was written as a love letter while on the road and is dedicated to the person who makes home a place worth missing. On the song, Gossett shares, “This song is for me and all the guys in the band. It's about loving where you are in the moment, and promising that we'll be back home soon.” Watch a live performance of “Sweet Lady” from Austin's Orb Studios here:
Westward also includes Gossett's
recent singles “American Trail” and “Like I Do.” He
continues, “I think Westward means two things, generally. This album is very
on-the-road written. You have all these bits and pieces from these stories that
are really just about life on the road. The other side of it, and where the
Westward title comes into play, was that these past few years have been so
crazy and just incredible. I feel like we've been chasing our dream the whole
way. People have always headed west for opportunities and chase their dreams by
going out there. That's where I tie it in a little bit, metaphorically.
Everyone on the crew is chasing their dreams, in some way.” Watch

This
week, Gossett played a string of live shows across Nashville for CMA Week,
including his debut performance at the Grand Ole Opry for their Opry 100
Celebration, Country Central's Whiskey Jam, and Spotify House.
Cementing
himself as a global touring force, Gossett sold over 72,000 global tickets in
2024 alone. Tonight, he wraps the second leg of his headline The
Back 40 Tour following his recent Stagecoach Festival debut.
Up next, he'll hit the road this summer on The American Trail Tour across
the midwest and west, ahead of newly announced The Westward Tour,
which will see him performing in the biggest venues of his career thus far
across North America this fall. His festival run will also continue throughout
the summer, with performances at Windy City Smokeout, Under
The Big Sky, Bourbon & Beyond, and the newly
announced Austin City Limits. All upcoming tour dates are below,
and tickets are on-sale now at www.dylangossett.com.
Over
the past two years, 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 MusicRow 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

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
428 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 Stagecoach Festival,
SXSW, CMA Fest, Country 2 Country, Hangout Music Festival, Tortuga Music
Festival, Two Step Inn Festival, and more. Now, Gossett kicks off what promises
to be a massive year with the announcement of his highly anticipated debut
album, Westward, out July 18.
