Cole Swindell

Country newcomer Cole Swindell has put out five singles in the past year. “Break Up in the End,” is the most emotional of the singles. Even though he did not write it, Swindell’s vocals deliver the perfect edge to the tear-jerker. “You Should Be Here,” the title track from Swindell’s 2016 full-length paints a detailed picture of the wonderful scene turned melancholy because his late father is missing out on it. The amount of genuine emotion that Swindell pours into lyrics like this, combined with his natural insight is what makes him a standout act. Swindell can also write great upbeat dance songs, however, as he proved with “Let Me See Ya Girl.” Every ticket purchased online includes your choice of a physical or digital copy of Swindell’s new album, All Of It.
