Billboard revealed its year-end Boxscore charts , ranking the top tours, venues, and promoters of 2023. That coverage included analysis of the new wave of genre diverse artists crashing stadium stages, and in turn, our charts. This week, we are breaking down the year’s biggest tours, genre by genre . Today, we continue with country.

Top 10 Highest Grossing K-Pop Tours of 2023

Country music has been a reliable pillar of the touring industry for several decades. Tradition states that Nashville singer-songwriters take to American arenas and amphitheaters each weekend, often returning home for the week to write and prepare new material. This established model continues to work for artists across the genre, with its share of the top 100 tours oscillating between 12-15% for much of the last decade.

In 2017, however, country’s share dipped below 10% and stayed in the single digits through the pandemic. But after a small boost back to 10% last year, it’s up to 12.7% in 2023. Not only does it bounce back with a slew of amphitheater artists, but newer headliners such as Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs ascend to stadiums, while extending their schedules to Australia and Europe.

With their tours continuing into the 2024 tracking period, and Zach Bryan joining them in U.S. stadiums, the genre’s restored strength is likely to hold steady in the year to come.

Scroll to check out the top 10 highest grossing tours by country artists, with such acts qualifying due to recent performance on Billboard ’s Top Country Albums and/or Hot Country Songs charts. Rankings are determined according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore. All reported shows worldwide between Nov. 1, 2022 – Sept. 30, 2023, are eligible.

$34.3M / 461K tickets / 50 shows

All-Genre Top 100 Rank: 77

At No. 10 on the country breakdown for the second consecutive year, Brown increases his earnings by 30%. Mostly promoted by AEG Presents, business peaked with more than $3 million at Boston’s Fenway Park.

Carrie Underwood

$35.3M / 324K tickets / 37 shows

All-Genre Top 100 Rank: 71

Underwood mixed arenas around the U.S. with a Vegas residency at Resorts World Theatre. The Vegas shows sold 36,000 tickets and grossed about $5.7 million across 11 shows in June and September.

$36.2M / 629K tickets / 50 shows

All-Genre Top 100 Rank: 70

Jelly Roll is a newcomer to the year-end Boxscore recap. While his opening stints on some summer Eric Church dates don’t contribute to his gross, the exposure and reach of those big amphitheater shows surely spurred his own momentum.

$40.1M / 488K tickets / 49 shows

All-Genre Top 100 Rank: 63

Like Underwood, Bryan continued his residency at Resorts World Theatre in Vegas, while carrying on his own U.S. headline tour. He played 24 shows in Vegas during the tracking period, accounting for almost 30% of his year-end earnings.

$45M / 492K tickets / 34 shows

All-Genre Top 100 Rank: No. 56

Bryan leveled up in major arenas and amphitheaters, on his way to U.S. stadiums in 2024. All but two of his summer ’23 shows grossed more than $1 million, but both of those played before he debuted atop the Billboard 200 albums chart with his self-titled effort and atop the Billboard Hot 100 with “I Remember Everything” with Kacey Musgraves.

Eric Church

$50.5M / 587K tickets / 36 shows

All-Genre Top 100 Rank: No. 44

Church is a reliable Boxscore veteran, as 2023 marks the seventh year among the last 10 where he has grossed more than $20 million (one of the three where he didn’t was 2020). While he often tours in January and February, he mounted a traditional summer amphitheater tour, hitting almost 30 cities between June 22 and Sept. 30.

Shania Twain

$85M / 788K tickets / 52 shows

All-Genre Top 100 Rank: No. 22

Groundbreaking for her crossover success in the ‘90s and ‘00s, Twain remains a sell-out star in 2023. The Queen of Me Tour earns its Boxscore bonafides via one leg in North America and more shows in Europe. She returned to the U.S. and Canada for more shows after the year-end clock stopped ticking, push the tour’s total gross to $110 million as of Nov. 14.

George Strait

$107.5M / 412K tickets / 11 shows

All-Genre Top 100 Rank: No. 17

Strait has the smallest show count among the top 10 country acts, with just 17 concerts in the reporting period. On the all-genre list, only one act in the top 40 played fewer – Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks, with five. Six of Strait’s shows were in stadiums, pushing more than $10 million per show, topping out at Denver’s Mile High Stadium with $16.7 million on June 24.

$133.5M / 1.4M tickets / 42 shows

All-Genre Top 100 Rank: No. 13

Country is famously strongest in the U.S., but Luke Combs defies these geographic borders. He played multiple shows in several Australian markets and began a European leg on the last day of the tracking period. Still, he earned more than $120 million in the U.S. and Canada through the end of July.

Morgan Wallen

$260.4M / 1.3M tickets / 44 shows

All-Genre Top 100 Rank: No. 4

Wallen made his year-end Boxscore debut last year at No. 2 on the country list (behind Kenny Chesney) and at No. 11 on the all-genre chart. Now, after the release and success of One Thing at a Time , and particularly its track-two, “Last Night,” he has achieved the highest grossing country tour in Boxscore history. With more dates after the tracking period ended, he’s earned more than $300 million since the beginning of the year.

Jon Hopkins

Hands down the best live concert I've been to in a long time. The newest album is a dream to hear live and this was made even better by the Audio-Visual effects, which were amazing! The venue is a really great space with a stunning sound system and tech. at hand - but really the credit goes to a fantastic artist who performed amazingly. Most of the setlist was from his newest release, but his editing and remix of these tracks and sneak peeks of some newer tracks made it even better!

The. Best. Night. Of. My. Entire. Life. This was the second time for me to see Adele. Last time I was quite high up, this time I was in Golden Circle. The atmosphere was incredible, Adele made me feel like I was the only one there in a packed out stadium. The banter she has with her audience in hilarious, she includes everyone and t feels like you're hanging out with your best mate you've known for years. As for her songs, the emotion and passion she sings with is just so raw and heart warming, I cried so many tears. You can tell she has an absolute ball on stage and she has so many upbeat songs and the sass she has is unreal- it cracks me up every time! I feel so grateful to have been apart of this tour and so happy that Adele decided to share this experience with every single one of us. I hope she has the most relaxing break with her family and hope she knows we'll always be here for her whenever/ if she decides to come back. Xx

Literally the best thing I have ever seen. The whole band sounded so tight, the light show was insane and they really played to the audience. Two full sets of material plus an encore was probably more than any of us expected. They played so many songs that I wanted to hear, even some really old material which was so unexpected. The whole audience was buzzing with energy and love for a band that are so good, but really don't tour enough. I'd waited 10 years for a chance to see them and now that I have, I'd have waited another 10 if I knew it was going to be that perfect. It was a privilege to be in that room and witness something so beautiful.

The most incredible, angelic, beautiful person to ever grace this earth. I've never been more stunned by a performance. SZA met and exceeded all of my expectations, I cannot put into words how amazing she is live. It's an experience you don't want to miss if you get the chance to see her. She was so happy and humble and was continuiously appoligizing for being sick and I honestly couldn't tell, that's how great she is. Also the experience brought me life not only because I got to see her preform but because everyone was singing every single word to every song with her. Truly incredible when you are surrounded in a room full of people singing your favorite songs at the top of their lungs. Needless to say I want a live version of ctrl after all of this so I can reminisce.

Absolutely incredible!! Khalid was only my second concert ever and it has inspired me to see as many as I can. It felt like every song was played at 250% and it sounded incredible. The band was phenomenal and I could really feel the music. The crowd was happy and everyone was having a good time. I'd see him again if I could.

Absolutely incredible! The music sounded amazing live, not like anything I've heard before. Jónsi Birgisson's voice is incredible live also, even earning applause from the crowd for the length of some of the notes he pulled off. The visuals were stunning. The lights and background of the stage were beautiful. Overall a wonderful experience and will absolutely be seeing them again if I get the opportunity!

2022 Round-Up: 15 New Country Artists You Need To Listen To Before The Year Ends

New country artists are continuously popping in, hitting the ground with dangerously addicting songs that will leave you craving for more ( thank you, TikTok ), and creating names and roads to success for themselves in this cutthroat genre where only the best ( and the viral ) survive and thrive. And with so many of them, it’s hard to keep track. We know, and we’re here to help you out. 

RELATED: TikTok Sensations Turned Rising Country Stars A to Z

Here’s Country Thang Daily’s 2022 round-up filled with everything you should basically know about the top 15 new country artists that you need to listen to before this year ends. Hopefully, you’ll find a new artist to tune to and vibe with in this list. Time to scroll down!

1. Morgan Wade

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Morgan Wade (@morganwademusic)

Morgan Wade did not  wade  through country music. She didn’t have to because the moment she entered shore, she created waves that paved a clear way to glory and fame.  Mind you, she wasn’t even trying.

Wade first made waves in 2021 with her breakout debut project,  Reckless,  delivering her truth through raw and authentic lyrics. And in a chaotic world moving too fast, she undeniably spoke her vulnerability to anyone who listened to her – throwing a rope to others like her who are struggling with the weight of everything. 

Her lead single off of the project “Wilder Days” topped critical global lists including Rolling Stone, TIME, New York Times, and country music authorities Tennessean, Whiskey Riff, Billboard, The Boot, and Taste of Country. And the rest of the ten-piece collection was brought to life by GRAMMY award-winners Paul Ebersold and Sadler Vaden. Following her emotionally-driven project, Wade also dropped two holiday anthems, “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” and “Santa Claus is Back in Town.” 

This 2022, she opened for Luke Combs on this sold-out three-date stadium tour and released another hit titled “Run” from the deluxe version of  Reckless . And with the success of her music career, she has also opened her own  tour , which will run until January 2023. 

If you are into the underdog grit with a straight up puncher songwriting style and a fresh blend of country and alternative rock sound, then you should definitely check her out. 

2. Conner Smith

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Conner Smith (@connersmithmusic)

Conner lives true to his name Smith-  an ultimate sorcerer . But instead of swords and magic potions, he forges stories and melodies that will truly captivate any listener. And now, he is considered as one of this generation’s rising country superstars.

Smith started writing songs when he was just 6, earned a writing deal with BMI at only 9 – second youngest to the legendary Michael Jackson, and snagged his own publishing deal at the tender age of 16. 

Five years later, he released his debut country-pop single, “Lean From It.” This gave him enough momentum to steer his career upwards, but what fueled his overdrive boost was his viral breakout sideline anthem, “I Hate Alabama.” Smith first teased the song on social media, but after gaining an overwhelming response, he decided to officially launch it. The next day after its release, Smith was propelled even higher as Alabama’s football team Crimson Tide lost to Texas A&M. Since then, he has continued to turn heads with other releases like “Why I Can’t Leave,” and he has no intention of stopping. 

Smith kicked off his 2022 as the opener for Ryan Hurd’s  Tour de Pelago  tour and as one of the billed artists in the Sam Hunt-led Casa Fiesta in Cancun, Mexico. And just this August, he released his newest single, “Orange and White.” He is also currently on  tour , which will culminate in October. 

This Tennessee-native’s smooth country twang and party-like stage presence will definitely draw your attention anytime, anywhere. 

3. Alana Springsteen

View this post on Instagram A post shared by alana springsteen (@alanaspringsteen)

Alana Springsteen blossomed late in 2021, but that didn’t stop her from dominating the country music scene this year. 

Her name first buzzed in 2020, after she shone through in the piano-led vocal showcase “Think About You” with Curbs Records artist Filmore. But it wasn’t until September 2021 that she officially dropped her studio debut EP,  History of Breaking Up (Part 1).  The seven-piece project featured honest, raw, and mature songwriting mixed with playful lyrics that highlighted her craft she had been honing since she was 14. The EP also included powerhouse co-writes just like “Zero Trucks” with viral country superstar Walker Hayes. Aside from her EP, she also teamed up with another country newcomer Roman Alexander for “Trying Not To” and went on the road with pop band LANY on their  gg bb xx  Tour. 

And just this year, she released the second part of her EP – an eight-track collection including her breakup anthem “Me Myself and Why” and slow-tempo heartbreak ballad “New Number.” And if you think the bar was high with the first part, this second chapter will truly raise that bar even higher. That’s why it’s no surprise that Alana Springsteen currently boasts an independent 55 million career streams record. 

If you’re looking for a modern twist on country with refreshingly vibrant vocals and authentic songwriting, look no further. Alana Springsteen’s discography will definitely suit your needs. 

4. Ashley Cooke

View this post on Instagram A post shared by ASHLEY COOKE (@theashleycooke)

Ashley Cooke is never not cooking anything for her fans, and not once has she ever disappointed with her releases. 

The blonde powerhouse, first known by many on TikTok as a producer of buzz-worthy anthems and co-founder of The 615 House dedicated for aspiring country singers, actually started her career after winning Belmont University’s historic Country Showcase in 2019. But due to the pandemic, every plan came into an abrupt halt. That was when she decided to take her chance on TikTok, uploading her song “Jealous of the Sky.” 

RELATED: Top 10 Viral Country Songs from TikTok You Should Listen To

The track unexpectedly blew up, opened doors for her, and slowly built her a loyal fanbase. In 2021, she released her well-rounded debut record,  Already Drank That Beer – Side A,  produced by Jimmy Robbins. The collection included “Never Til Now” ( which she also performed as a duet with Brett Young ) and “Good Goodbye” featuring Jimmie Allen. She also collaborated with Roman Alexander for the romantic duet “Between You & Me” and hit the road on tour with her fellow rising country acts, BRELAND and Spencer Crandall. 

Early this 2022, Cooke toured alongside Cole Swindell, Brett Young, and Jordan Davis and performed at some of the summer’s hottest fairs and festivals. She also just recently released “getting into,” which she co-wrote with Emily Weisband and Will Weatherly before she headed out to open for multi-platinum artist Cole Swindell’s  Down To The Bar  Tour. 

Ashley Cooke is worth checking out, especially if you’re a fan of captivating vocals who love to tell a wide range of stories – from heartbreak ballads to drinking anthems. 

5. Larry Fleet

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Larry Fleet (@larryfleet)

Be warned; Larry Fleet is no  fleeting  artist in the genre because he is set to carve his name as one of the best country recording artists of his generation. And that wouldn’t be surprising for this talented tunesmith who once shared a stage with the legendary Willie Nelson. 

Fleet, unlike the first ones on the list, made his debut with a powerful hymn. The country radio single titled “Where I Find God” was released in 2020 and created a life-changing phenomenon to every ear that heard it. It became a critically-acclaimed hit climbing charts and raking in millions of views. 

After the success of his debut, Fleet followed with a 14-track Joey Moi-produced full-length album. All songs were co-written by him alongside top-shelf tunesmiths like Rhett Akins, Brett James, the Warren Brothers, and Connie Harrington. He also collaborated with Jon Pardi, Jamey Johnson, and Bryan Sutton for the collection. And another major highlight of his 2021 was performing on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry with the support of his kids and biggest fans, Waylon and Stella. 

We are yet to hear if there’s new music underway this 2022, but we can catch him on the road as the opening act for Morgan Wallen’s  The Dangerous  Tour alongside HARDY. 

If you love one-liners, good hooks, and powerhouse vocals blended into a balance of traditional and contemporary music, make sure to give Larry Fleet a listen. 

6. Brittney Spencer

Brittney Spencer is no  penny  in country music, and she is slowly making her way to conquering the honky-tonk town. 

Spencer first arrived in Nashville in 2013, but unlike most country musicians starting out, it didn’t take long for her to find her footing. That is, her strong, fiery, and powerful vocals immediately earned her a spot as a background singer on tour with the likes of Carrie Underwood and Christopher Cross. But it wasn’t until seven years later that she dropped her very own four-track EP,  Compassion . And it wasn’t until her 2021 single “Sober & Skinny” that her name finally made a loud impact. 

That booming success led her to multiple doors of opportunities and quite an eventful year. She graced Billboards throughout Time Square in Manhattan, performed at the Country Music Hall of Fame, joined Mickey Guyton and Madeline on the stage of the CMA Awards singing Guyton’s “Love My Hair,” and performed as a member of The Highwomen for BottleRock. And not to mention a 15-city headlining tour to cap off the year.  All of those are for one single. 

And this year, Spencer is off to open for the country music icon Reba McEntire for her  Reba: Live in Concert  Tour, as well as Willie Nelson, Maren Morris, and Brandi Carlile. New music might be brewing, so we just have to stay tuned. 

Brittney Spencer is undeniably full of potential not only as a singer but also as a leader in making space for Black women in country music. You won’t definitely be disappointed if you decide to let her song play.

Chayce Beckham  chased  his dream of being a country music artist at full speed. All-in, no regrets. And after winning the 19th season of the fan-favorite  American Idol , there is no stopping him from hitting the ground and making his name a staple in the genre. 

Beckham had a tumultuous life before his big title win. He had hit rock bottom battling addiction, substance abuse, and a whole lot of other demons of his own. But thanks to the encouragement and support from his family, he took a chance on himself. The golden ticket to Hollywood introduced him to millions of viewers who became his fans after his impressive covers of the hits by Chris Stapleton, Zac Brown Band, Luke Combs, Tyler Childs, Incubus, and the Beatles and performance of a couple of originals too. 

Shortly after his win, he dropped his autobiographical debut single, “23,” which described his struggles with unashamed honesty. Almost immediately after it was released, the track shot to the top of the country and all-genre iTunes charts. 

And this 2022, Beckham collaborated with labelmate Linsday Ell to produce the song “Can’t Do Without Me.” After that, he is off to be on tour and to perform as an opening act for Luke Combs’ Canadian Tour with fellow artist Riley Green. 

His gritty vocals perfectly mixed with his rock-infused country sound will surely get anyone vibing. So, what are you waiting for? Hit the play button!

When BRELAND   landed , he made sure his music was going to be heard. And with a collection of collaborations with top country stars and a multi-genre-influenced music style, he became an indisputable artist everyone paid attention to. 

The Jersey native grew up surrounded by gospel music and a range of other influences, just like Stevie Wonder, Rascal Flatts, Justin Timberlake, Nelly, and Drake. And that definitely showed with his country-trap song “My Truck,” which he later on re-released with a feature by Sam Hunt. And in the next year and a half, he has enjoyed the spotlight with collaborations with Keith Urban for “Throw It Back,” Jimmie Allen for “Somebody,” Mickey Guyton for “Cross Country,” Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts for “All I See,” Nelly for “High Horse,” and Dierks Bentley for “Beers On Me.” He also headlined his Cross Country Tour and opened for Bentley’s  Beers On Me  Tour. 

Earlier this 2022, BRELAND got on the road to kick off Russell Dickerson’s All Yours, All Night Tour. His debut album Cross Country will also be out in a few days!

BRELAND’s music is for those who love the distinguished sound that blurs genre lines. He will definitely be enjoyed by any music fan.

ERNEST has been  earnestly  working as a songwriter for the longest time. His songwriting catalog is an impressive resume filled with smash number one hits for top names in the genre, just like Morgan Wallen’s “More Than My Hometown,” Florida Georgia Line’s “I Love My Country,” and Sam Hunt’s “Breaking Up Was Easy In The 90’s”. But now, he is more than ready to take on the genre with his own voice.

The songwriter became a breakout artist after he released his toast-provoking anthem “Cheers” in 2020. And then he continued to ride the momentum with his fiddle-filled, nostalgic track “American Rust” in 2021, which earned him with new fans. Then he closed the year strong with a follow-up, a career-changing duet with Morgan Wallen titled “Flower Shops.” 

2022 started out busy for ERNEST as he teamed up with David Lee Murphy and Ben Burgess for “Red Dirt Clouds,” the ninth single off of HARDY’s project  HIXTAPE: Vol. 2 . He also announced his headlining tour,  A Sucker For Small Towns  with Jake Worthington, Lauren Watkins, and Noah Hicks as opening acts. 

You can always expect vibrant melodies, soulful sound, and unmatched songwriting with ERNEST. And that means every song is a high-quality release. 

10. Restless Road

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Restless Road (@restlessroad)

Restless Road , Nashville’s hottest trio, is exactly what their name suggests:  restless  ( to make music ). The group first earned recognition on social media with their charming harmonies, impressive covers and mash-ups, and of course, catchy original tunes. And now, they’re turning their digital numbers into a devoted fan base. 

Garrett Nichols, Colton Pack, and Zach Beeken started their journey back in 2013 when they joined  X-Factor Season 3 . The all-male country band finished 4th place but after that, there have been no major buzz around them. Seven years later, they reunited with fellow artist and friend Kane Brown who took them under his wing. That moment catalyzed the success of their career. They signed a record deal, dropped their debut single “Take Me Home” featuring Kane Brown, and released their self-titled EP with a smash hit, “Take One Looks at Her Momma.” And they didn’t stop at that. They dropped even more songs, including their party anthems “Bar Friends,” “Hometown Tonight,” and “Headlights.” And also went on the road with Brown in his  Blessed & Free  Tour.

When 2022 entered, they launched their single “Growing Old With You,” which they re-released as a First Dance Version. The trio also announced their headlining tour,  Bar Friends. 

If you’re into a wide range of tunes and enjoy mash-ups and covers, Restless Road is a good place to start your search. 

11. Kat & Alex

View this post on Instagram A post shared by 𝕂𝔸𝕋 & 𝔸𝕃𝔼𝕏 (@katandalex)

Kat & Alex, the sweet romantic duo with a spicy Latin taste, is out to  catch  fans with their fresh and inventive honky-tonk sound, soulful, almost pitch-perfect harmonies, and bilingual lyrics. And they’re definitely standing out and proud in the genre as a game-changer and representative of the Latin community. 

Just like Chayce Beckham, the duo started their career on American Idol. But unlike him, the two didn’t end up winning the season. Alex “Space Cowboy” Garrido was eliminated after their duet performance of Lauren Daigle’s “You Say,” leaving Kat Lopez to compete at the next round as a solo artist. After her exit on the show, the two reunited as a duo. They signed a management deal and a publishing contract and dropped their debut single “How Many Times” the same year. But what really got fans stirred to the core was their Spanish rendition of the song. 

In 2021, the duo – now married – showcased more of their spell-binding harmonies with tracks like “You and the Radio,” “Most Nights,” and “Heartbreak Tour.” Aside from continuously releasing music, Kat & Alex also made their long-awaited Grand Ole Opry debut.

For 2022, they released their new single, “We Bought A House,” which also has a Spanish version titled “Mi Casa.” They will also be on the road to perform though they’re not yet fully booked, so you need to stay tuned to that. 

Kat & Alex definitely delivers a refreshing sound in country music, and with their wide vocal range and complimenting Southern twang, they are sure to offer more variety. 

12. Chase Matthew

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Chase Matthew (@iamchasematthew)

Here’s another Chase  chasing  a country music dream. Meet Chase Matthew, the unprecedented breakthrough artist, making waves on various streaming platforms. The up-and-comer artist is ready to take the plunge from streams to live and create a bigger name for himself. 

Matthew found himself wrapped in success after the release of his six-track debut EP “County Line.” The same-titled title track racked up nearly 1.4 million streams on Spotify and 2.59 million streams on Apple music and initially stacked 631,000 views on YouTube. And with chart-topper Ryan UpChurch signing him with his label Holler Boy Records, Matthew is charging with bigger energy but still with the same authentic charisma that brought him to the top. And he released a new single off of his popular EP “Love Like That.” 

This 2022, he gave fans a new playlist to enjoy with his debut album  Born For This . And he also announced his  Born For This  Tour dates, which you can still catch this Fall. 

If you enjoy deep southern vocals and authentic songwriting reveling on shared experiences, you’ll definitely have a lot of fun listening to Chase Matthew.

13. Carter Faith

View this post on Instagram A post shared by C A R T E R F A I T H (@carterfaithofficial)

Have  faith  with us when we say that Carter is one of the must-watch new country artists this year. Her name might not be as boomingly loud like the other ones on the list, but she will surely be one in the next years to come for country music. 

Carter Faith, like Ashley Cooke, is a graduate of the prestigious Belmont University, and now, both have been enjoying a successful career in country music. In 2020, Faith released her debut EP,  Let Love Be Love  which includes her electrifying track “Buzzkilla” and roll-down-your-windows-down kind of love song “Joyride.” After her release, she received numerous high praises and was even named the first country artist to be part of Spotify’s Fresh Finds Program. She also had the opportunity to perform at different venues, including closing out a sold-out show at the Ryman Auditorium and sharing stages with country artists like Cole Swindell, Carly Pearce, and Old Dominion. 

Earlier this year, she released a new single titled “Greener Pasture,” a perfectly dreamy and laid-back song that talks about heartbreak and the romanticization of the hurt and pain that come with it. She is also set to be out on the road for the rest of the year. 

Faith’s charisma lies in her emotive lyricism filled with pointed truths akin to the style of Taylor Swift, which is perfectly blended with the chill aesthetic of Kacey Musgraves in a unique country-pop sound. So if you like Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves, then you will definitely find Carter Faith’s songs a good listen. 

14. Dalton Dover

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dalton Dover 🎙 (@daltondover_music)

Dalton Dover is ready to  dive  into the country music world and fulfill the dream that he has been holding on to since he was a young boy. 

Dover has always been passionate about music, and growing up, he has always dreamed of being a country music artist. Five years later, he had the opportunity to realize that dream through  The Voice Season 16 . The 21-year-old Georgia native was given the chance to be mentored by country singer Blake Shelton. Though he did not win, he was able to pursue a successful career in country music. 

In 2021, he released his debut singles “You Got a Small Town” and “Baby I Am,” which both garnered critical acclaim from Billboard for his infusion of his country style with bluesy intensity. These tracks helped the wheels of his career to get moving into a positive direction. 

Earlier this year, he reaped the fruits of the success of his debut singles. He opened for Luke Comb’s Mercedes Benz Stadium show in Atlanta, and after that, he released his single “Hear About A Girl.” He then set out on his seven-night August residency performing at multiple locations of Blake Shelton’s Ole Red in Nashville. And just right after finishing, he announced that he will be supporting fellow newcomer Priscilla Block in her  Welcome to the Block Party  Tour. He is also preparing to release his next single, “Damn Good Life,” which he co-wrote with Alex maxwell and Jaxson Free. 

If you love a versatile artist who can tell you honest stories about rural life and at the same time seduce you with a sultry love song, Dover is the new country artist you need to hear. 

15. Priscilla Block

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Priscilla Block (@priscillablock)

Last but definitely not the least on our list is Priscilla Block . This newcomer artist is not letting anything  block  her way into creating a name for herself in the genre and empowering young females just like her. 

As we said, one way into this cutthroat industry is through virality. And Priscilla Block definitely knew that. She first got her start on TikTok, sharing her unapologetic anthem “Thick Thighs.” Her powerful message and equally powerful vocals led her to become nearly an overnight sensation on the platform. Riding the momentum of her newfound fame, she released yet another single, but this time she showcased her vulnerability  (and versatility as well) . The breakup ballad “Just About Over You” climbed charts and gave Block her first-ever single at Country Radio. 

2021 came, and she conquered. She sold out venues across the southeast, shared stages with country hitmakers, made her Opry debut, and released another hit titled “Peaked In High School.” 

But after exploding in 2021, she still has so much in store for 2022. This year, she released two new singles, “My Bar” and “Off The Deep End.” She also announced her  Welcome to the Block Party  Tour, where she will be supported by fellow newcomer artist Dalton Dover. 

Priscilla Block is the very definition of confidence and empowerment who, at the same time, is not afraid to show vulnerability. And that personality translates well into her music. 

There you go, our top 15 new country artists this 2022 that you should definitely not miss out on! Check them out on Spotify, iTunes, and other streaming platforms, or catch them on tour this fall. You won’t be disappointed.

Alana Springsteen, Ashley Cooke, Breland, Brittney Spencer, Carter Faith, Chase Matthew, Chayce Beckham, Conner Smith, Dalton Dover, ERNEST, Kat and Alex, Larry Fleet, Morgan Wade, Priscilla Block, Restless Road

10 New and Upcoming Country and Americana Artists You Need to Know October 2023

By Jof Owen

Link copied

When we fall in love here at Holler we fall hard and fast.

Whether it's a new Appalachian six-piece from Kentucky or a country-pop duo from the heart of Music City, when we go in, we go all in.

So, get ready for another of Holler's monthly round ups of our latest loves; a who's who of the most exciting prospects to begin leaving their mark on the country and Americana landscape.

For October 2023, we've got a Brooklyn harpist whose third album pushes the boundaries of what country-folk is considered to be, a rag tag slacker country outfit from Philly who sound like a cross between Gram Parsons and Girls, and a Grammy winning noughties pop star who’s crossed over into country with startling results.

Here's Holler's 10 New and Upcoming Country and Americana Artists You Need to Know for October 2023.

“Don’t pull your punches when you meet God in the desert after dark,” Lizzie No says, as she introduces us to the character at the centre of her third album. “If your life has turned into a car wreck, honk the horn until you get free. Miss Freedomland wrestled self-hatred, and violent men, and alcohol for 15 years but never gave up hope of being blessed. Nobody scares her anymore.”

Three albums in and Lizzie No continues to defy categorisation. Worshipped in the broad church of Americana, like the artists to whom she’s most often compared - Allison Russell, Rhiannon Giddens and Adia Victoria – Lizzie No’s work pulls from the rhythms and traditions of blues, folk and country, but collaborations with Pom Pom Squad, Domino Kirkie Kill Rock Stars’ Brian Dunne bring out the Brooklyn singer songwriter’s influences from more unusual quarters.

The harpist and guitarist’s third album, Halfsies , follows the turbulent journey of its central character, Miss Freedomland (a character that represents both No herself and her audience) as she searches for freedom from the depths of despair and an escape from the frightening realities of life in modern America.

“Some albums are stories, some are films. This album is a video game,” explains No. “If you’re in these songs with me, what seems at first like a journey of self-analysis becomes a journey to get free, and get your people free, as well.”

Along with contributions from Brian Dunne on ‘Lagunita,’ the album also features guest vocals from Allison Russell and strings from Grammy Award-winning group Attaca Quartet.

Lizzie No began turning heads and winning over hearts with the release of her debut album, Hard Won , back in 2017, when she immediately established herself as one of the most exciting new voices in contemporary American folk music.

Drawing comparisons with Linda Thompson, Karen Dalton and Sandy Denny, her country-tinged folk found its influences in traditional roots music from both sides of the Atlantic. The album’s standouts ‘Outlaws’ won the American Songwriter Magazine Lyrics Prize as it poked fun at the outlaw myth, while ‘Killing Season' was an incendiary response to police brutality and the events that led to the Black Lives Matter movement made all the more powerful by the singer’s unfaltering delivery.

The album’s follow up, Vanity , continued her unsparing self-reflection lyrically as she pushed her folk sound into alt-pop territory, while a pair of singles on the Colemine Records label, ‘Sweeter Than Strychnine’ and ‘Stop Bothering Me’ introduced her straight up soulful side.

Halfsies is an exploration of the relationship between individuality and belonging that crosses over with Lizzie No’s side hustle as co-host of the Basic Folk podcast, where she has interviewed everyone from Ben Harper to Valerie June to Kishi Bashi.

The erasure of Black artists is central to the myth of country music - what it means, what it stands for, where it comes from - and so simply by standing on stage and singing as a Queer, Black woman, whether it be in theatres across the country with the Black Opry, or leading Queer Line Dancing nights with the Lavender Country tour, Lizzie No is a protest singer and her songs are protest songs.

Their songs are descendants of white protest folk singers like Woody Guthrie and Joan Baez that draw equally from the soulful spiritual folk stylings of Odetta, the upside-down guitar picking of Elizabeth Cotton and the magnetic calm of Joan Armatrading.

Loaded up with dismay and outrage, her powerful, unwavering voice mixes a bleak recognition of the way things are with a quiet hope for what they could be.

“To be Black in America is to be a stranger in a strange land, a character dropped into a video game in the middle of the fight, pressed with the task of finding your allies and sharpening your tools,” they say. “Many of us are so afraid to be free that we choose to get comfortable with bondage. But Nina cried power and Toni told the ghost stories so that Miss Freedomland would have a map to somewhere new.”

Lizzie No has that same map firmly in her grasp and she’s leading the way.

Halfsies by Lizzie No is released on January 19th 2023. The single ‘Lagunita’ is out now.

The music of Florry sits at a crossroads where Gram Parsons and Exile on Main Street- era Rolling Stones meets the melodic slacker pop of early Mac DeMarco and the fuzzy ramshackle charm of a K Records indie pop band.

Rag tag Philly outfit Florry are the full-band moniker of singer and songwriter Francie Medosch, whose homespun coming-of-age tales of feeling lost and small in America are driven by her raucous band, loaded up with jangling 12-string guitar, fiddle, mandolin, squawky harmonicas and lashings of pedal steel.

“I got no lovers,” she sings on Florry’s Dear Life Records debut The Holey Bible. “I'm just a real friendly gal face down in a ditch, pickin’ myself up somehow.”

Honing her longtime love of country music, the album is a mix of deliciously messy power-pop and acoustic campfire laments that sounds like the party their live shows promise to be.

There’s almost a little bit of Elvis Costello in Medosch’s quavering androgynous whine, and with its scuzzy garage guitars and hook loaded anti-country tales of heartbreak and longing, Florry have succeeded in making the record we always hoped Christopher Owens would make when he "went country" after Girls, but never ended up making.

The Holey Bible by Florry is out now on Dear Life Records

Colbie Caillat

Not so much an artist you need to know, but more an artist you already knew but need to get to know again.

With millions of albums and singles sold, over 15 billion streams, two Grammys won, and a number one duet with Jason Mraz, Colbie Caillat’s solo country debut, Along The Way , arrives a decade and a half after the singer songwriter’s first album, the triple platinum Coco , which included the summer pop smash ‘Bubbly.’

Listening back, you can catch glimpses of her country side on Coco and its follow ups Breakthrough and All Of You that Colbie Caillat now fully leans into. The light finger picking, the warm voice, the bright melodies and beachy feel of those early songs would have always been categorised as country classics in another artist’s hands.

Raised in California, she’s now been living and working in Nashville for over six years, where she discovered a fresh songwriter inside her who is ready to share her new perspectives. Inspired by heartbreak, and writing with frequent collaborators AJ Pruis and Liz Rose on Along The Way , Caillat wholeheartedly embraces her inner twang while never losing her sunny, glass-half-full outlook and bright eyed pop sensibilities.

Dylan Gossett

“The storytelling and visualization of a song are important to me,” Dylan Gossett explains about his storytelling. “I’m essentially playing a movie in my head and creating a story for the listener.”

These imaginary movies playing out in his head have begun capturing audiences too. Born is Austin, Texas, Dylan Gossett first picked up a guitar in middle school after discovering Ed Sheeran, but after his first two guitar lessons “didn’t work out,” he taught himself by watching YouTube clips and thanks to some tips from his older brother.

In between listening to classics from Alan Jackson, George Strait, Journey, The Eagles, Scorpions and Boston with his family, he immersed himself in records by country outliers like Turnpike Troubadours and Cody Johnson, and it was a rendition of The Lumineers’ ‘Ophelia’ and Flatland Cavalry’s ‘A Life Where We Work Out’ that set the tone for the kind of country songs he wanted to write.

“I have Texas country roots, and I also love red dirt Americana,” he notes. “My sound is indebted to both. 50 percent of my passion is singing, and the other 50 percent is writing. That’s where a lot of the enjoyment of making music comes from.”

It was no surprise when his debut single ‘To Be Free’ exploded on TikTok, amassing over 3 million Spotify streams, but it was his song ‘Coal’ which catalysed his breakthrough when it notched up over 23 million Spotify streams.

His latest offering is ‘Beneath Oak Trees,’ a song inspired by seeing a massive oak tree on his wedding day, taken from Gossett’s forthcoming debut EP, No Better Time , out now.

Austin Snell

“My ma raised me on Waylon, my pops on rock and roll,” sings Austin Snell on the title track to his latest EP, ‘Muddy Water Rockstar,’ as he shows you exactly what happens when you mix those influences up.

With a country rock sound that owes as much to Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park as it does Willie and Waylon, Austin Snell has timed his rise to perfection. With the success of artists like HARDY, Whiskey Myers and Pecos & The Rooftops, country music is undeniably having a moment with heavy rock right now , as award winning country artists are topping the country charts with records that sound louder and nastier than ever.

In the same way that recent records by Ruston Kelly, Morgan Wade and Stephen Wilson Jr. all draw as much from alternative rock as they do from their more obvious Americana influences, Austin Snell’s country rock is infused with the spirit of 90s grunge, mixing ground-out rock aggression with introspective thoughtful lyrics.

Ever since his debut single ‘Excuse the Mess’ came out in January 2023 and immediately racked up a million streams in its first week of release, the country world has been playing catch up, and a quarter of a million TikTok followers and over 50 million total streams later, Austin Snell is now poised to explode with his debut EP on Warner Music Nashville.

Jade Eagleson

It’s already been an unforgettable year for the Canadian country singer Jade Eagleson. The singer from Ontario kicked off 2023 with his second JUNO nomination for Country Album of the Year and was recently named the 2023 CCMA Awards Entertainer of the Year and Male Artist of the Year. This all follows his monumental win for Top Selling Canadian Album with his sophomore release Honkytonk Revival a t the 2022 CCMA Awards.

The 29-year-old’s third studio album, Do It Anyway , picks up where his last two left off, with 13 prime country cuts of polished neo-traditionalist country topped with Eagleson’s smooth and creamy baritone.

If you want a little taster sip of Jade Eagleson then we’d suggest lining up a shot of the fiery ‘Shakin’ In Them Boots’ followed by a long slurp of recent single, ‘Telluride’, and washing it all down with breakneck two-stepper ‘Rodeo Queen.’ That’s all it usually takes to develop a liking for the stuff.

Do It Anyway by Jade Eagleson is out now on Starseed Records

Zach Meadows

You’d trust Gabe Lee with anything, obviously, but you’d definitely count on him when it comes to songwriters.

It was in Asheville that Gabe Lee came across Zach Meadows while he was out on tour with Molly Tuttle, and he became a makeshift mentor to the fledgling songwriter. Two years later the pair walked into Farmland - the same studio where Lee had recorded three of his four albums - and with the help of Alex Torrez and David Dorn, both long time Gabe Lee producers, they laid down four songs that captured that effortless country-folk sound that had first drawn Lee to Meadows.

Born and raised in Florida, Zach Meadows ended up in Asheville in North Carolina where the steady flow of its rivers and the Blue Ridge Mountains seemed to infuse his songwriting with an easy Appalachian calm.

The only two singles so far – ‘Texas Two Step’ and ‘Cardinal Song’ – are so laid back they’re almost horizontal. In a world of chaos, there’s something refreshingly uncomplicated and reassuring about Zach Meadows’ simple truths and distinctly small-town Southern charms.

‘Cardinal Song’ is out now through Torrez Music Group

Gabe Lee isn’t the only one who can be trusted for a solid endorsement. As soon as we read that Brandi Carlile was producing and mentoring Tish Melton we were all in.

The daughter of American author and queer activist Glennon Doyle, the 17-year-old singer-songwriter released her debut single ‘Michelle’ last month as an introduction to her introspective diaristic indie folk, documenting the ups and downs of teenage friendships and the break ups and make ups of the middle age of your late teens.

With its casually cool take on growing up and growing apart from people, her writing brings to mind the light, candid lyricism of Phoebe Bridgers and the coming-of-age sad girl confessional pop of Gracie Abrams and Girl In Red.

Her songs work in the same way that films like Edge Of Seventeen and Ghost World were able to perfectly capture the overwhelming feelings of anxiety, sadness and heartbreak that overwhelm teenage life in the pre-apocalypse.

Boy Named Banjo

Crafting a sound that blends country, bluegrass, alt-rock and lively folk-pop, Boy Named Banjo’s new album, Dusk , feels like their finest distillation of all their disparate influences yet.

“Our band has so many different sides and personalities to it,” says Boy Named Banjo’s Barton Davies. “One minute we might be singing bluegrass harmonies around a condenser mic, and the next we’ve got these big, distorted guitars and pounding, rock and roll drums. This album feels like the first time we’ve been able to capture it all at once, the first time we’ve been able to bottle that live energy and share it on a record.”

The Nashville-raised country outliers Boy Named Banjo have been together in some shape or form since its members were in high school. It’s been a long journey from their stripped back self-released 2012 debut, The Tanglewood Sessions , and even its more fleshed out follow up, Long Story Short , only hinted at the breadth of styles they take on across the new album.

“We wanted to make a big statement with our first full-length release on Mercury,” says guitarist William Reames, explaining how the band worked out of a series of makeshift studios with longtime collaborator Oscar Charles, laying down what would become Dusk in secret , experimenting with new sounds and recording techniques as they chased the freewheeling excitement and undeniable emotional impact of their live shows.

“Our influences have always been really broad and our sound has always been really wide-ranging, and we didn’t want to shy away from that,” says Reames. “At the end of the day, this is who we are.”

As Joey says in friends as he gleefully tucks into the dessert Rachel makes after mistakenly mixing up the recipes for Shepherd’s Pie and Trifle, “What’s not to like? Custard? Good! Jam? Good! Meat? Good!”

Harper O'Neill

“Maybe it's the wrong glass ceiling to break,” says Harper O’Neill about her debut long player, Dark Bar Daisy . “But I'm telling stories about the whole human experience of being a woman.”

She doesn’t stop at the ceiling. The Dallas-born, Nashville-based singer-songwriter is the kind of powerhouse country singer who can pick up any room and tear the roof off with it.

Produced by Jake Gear, Dark Bar Daisy , is a gigantic country soul record filled with lush, dynamic string arrangements and blasting Muscle Shoals horns that brings to mind recent outings from Lee Ann Womack and Connie Smith. While the demos for the records veered more closely to traditional acoustic instrumentation, arranger Jordan Lehning helped O’Neill fully realize the colourful, orchestral sonic vision she had for Dark Bar Daisy .

“I was really excited to paint with all the brushes in the studio musically,” O’Neill says. “We gave him tons of references, like Khraungbin, Silk Sonic, Lake Street Dive and some old soul references. That was the melting pot mix of sounds that I was that I was chasing.”

It serves as a bold statement of intent from one of country music’s most fearless new voices.
