BRENT COBB’SSHINE ON RAINY DAY NOW STREAMING EXCLUSIVELY AT NPR MUSIC

ALBUM PRODUCED BY DAVE COBB

ON TOUR WITH ANDERSON EAST THIS FALL,SUPPORTING CHRIS STAPLETON IN NASHVILLE

“…WHAT PROMISES TO BE COBB’S BREAKOUT LP AS A SINGER-SONGWRITER.”

“…MASTERFULLY UNDERSTATED WIT…”

Brent Cobb’shighly anticipated major label debut, Shine On Rainy Day, is now exclusively streaming in full as part of NPR Music’s First Listenseries.Of the album, NPR’s Music’s Jewly Hightpraises, “Cobb shares…a gift for teasing out the textures of a place, not only through the richness of his written descriptions, but also through the cultivated naturalness in the feel of his music. He has a low-key flair for folding down-home elision, localized detail and lived wisdom into his songs and putting it all across with his woolen drawl and meandering phrasing, sounding simultaneously retiring and neighborly.”

Out next Friday, October 7, on Low Country Sound/Elektra Records, Shine On Rainy Daywas produced by Grammy Award-winning producerDave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, etc.) and was recorded live over four days in Nashville. In advance of the release, the album is now available for pre-order, which includes an immediate download of the title track as well as the album tracks “Black Crow” and “Solving Problems.”

Brent is currently in the midst of an extensive nationwide tour supporting Anderson East and, on October 15, will join Chris Stapleton for a special show at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheatre. See below for complete details.

Of the music and working with producer (and cousin) Dave Cobb, Brentcomments, “It’s not as good as it’s going to get. But if it’s the last thing that I ever do, if I died the day after it came out, then thank God I was able to record it because the songs and the production, it was everything I wanted to say. Finally.”

Dave adds, “I wanted to work with Brent for very selfish reasons. When he lifts a pen and opens his mouth, it sounds like home. I did his record because he’s part of the fabric of South Georgia and the soundtrack to my family. Pure rural country soul filled music.”

Earlier thisyear, Brent was featured on Dave’s widely praised Southern Familycompilation—contributingthe song “Down Home” and writing the standout “Sweet By & By,” which was recorded by Miranda Lambert. Of “Down Home,” Wide Open Country declares, “…one of the most earnest and accurate retellings of everyday life in rural Georgia. The mixture of Cobb’scharming southern drawl, brilliant storytelling and flawless production melds into a track that is impossible to resist.”
