Brent Cobb and Kendell Marvel will join forces this spring for a series of special acoustic shows. “Country Music For Grown Folks Tour” will kick off May 6 at Tulsa’s Cain’s Ballroom with additional stops at Kansas City’s Knuckleheads, Austin’s Antone’s Nightclub, Dallas’ The Kessler Theater, Asheville’s Grey Eagle and Nashville’s City Winery among others. See below for complete itinerary.

Each show will feature three distinct sets: Marvel performing solo acoustic, Cobb performing solo acoustic and, finally, a special collaborative set with both performing songs they have written for other artists. Tickets for the shows go on-sale this Wednesday, March 24 at 12:00pm ET/11:00am CT. Full health and safety protocols are available on each venue’s website.

Of the tour, Cobb shares, “Well, the time has finally come. Looking forward to getting back out to y’all with my ol’ buddy Kendell Marvel,” and Marvel adds, “There ain’t a better singer/songwriter than my buddy Brent Cobb. Can’t wait to hit the highway with him in May and throw some country on ‘em!”

About Brent Cobb:

Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter and musician Brent Cobb adds to a series of landmark years with the release of his new album, Keep ‘Em On They Toes. Out now on his own label, Ol’ Buddy Records, via Thirty Tigers, the album was produced by Brad Cook and finds Cobb with a new reflective mindset, focusing on how he views the world and expressing his own opinions, thoughts and feelings. Of the record, Rolling Stone declares, “his most down-home record yet…if 2018’s nostalgic Providence Canyon was Cobb pining for the Peach State of his youth, Keep ‘Em on They Toes is him happy at home in the present,” while American Songwriter proclaims, “With Keep ‘Em On They Toes…the philosophical songwriter/artist arrives” and Vice praises, “as strong of a songwriter as ever.” Since his debut in 2016, Cobb has released three studio albums and earned nominations for Best Americana Album at the 60th GRAMMY Awards and Emerging Artist of the Year at the 2017 Americana Honors & Awards. He’s also written songs for artists such as Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, Little Big Town and The Oak Ridge Boys, and has toured extensively across the world including numerous performances as part of Chris Stapleton’s “All-American Road Show.”

About Kendell Marvel:

Kendell Marvel wrote and recorded his new album, Solid Gold Sounds, in a matter of days, but it took a lifetime in country music to get there. Marvel and The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach co-wrote nine of the album’s ten songs, drawing on the country sounds of the ‘70s as well as Marvel’s own experiences. Their songwriting collaborators include country legend John Anderson on the album’s first track, “Hard Time With the Truth.” A native of Southern Illinois, Marvel moved to Nashville at 28, shifting his goal of being an artist to raising his family while working as a songwriter. Marvel’s writing credits include Gary Allan’s “Right Where I Need to Be” and Chris Stapleton’s Grammy-winning single, “Either Way.” Brothers Osborne, Jamey Johnson, Jake Owen, Blake Shelton, George Strait and Lee Ann Womack have also cut his songs.
