Brent Cobb will release a new album, Southern Star, on September 22 via Ol’ Buddy Records/Thirty Tigers. This is the first album Cobb has produced himself, and he made it at Macon, GA’s Capricorn Sound Studios.
“You know how when you’re growing up, you’re told that if you ever get lost out there, look for the northern star to help find direction back home? Well, I’m from Georgia,” says Cobb of the album. “So, I always look for the southern star. This album, the songs, the sounds… it’s all a product of where I’m from both musically and environmentally. Historically and presently that place also happens to be the same place that cultivated a good many of the most influential artists in the whole world of music. Music as we know it would not exist without the American south. It’s funky and sentimental. It’s simple and complex.”
You can check out Southern Star‘s title track now, which has just a little bit of a “Southern Nights” swing to it. The video, directed by Jace Kartye, has the band cooking in the studio and Brent cooking in the kitchen. Watch below.
Brent has also announced fall tour dates, which include a NYC show at Bowery Ballroom on November 7. Before that he’ll be on the road with Luke Combs, Whiskey Myers and more. All dates are listed below.
