Dylan Gossett Brings Signature Sound & Powerful Storytelling To Sold-Out Nashville Crowd
Fast-rising singer-songwriter Dylan Gossett brought his unique Texas country and Americana sound and personal lyrics to a sold-out crowd at Nashville’s Exit/In Tuesday night (April 9). The show was a part of Gossett’s current sold-out “No Better Time Tour.”
Kentucky-based band Ole 60 opened up the night. The five-piece band warmed the crowd up with songs from their Three Twenty Four EP, including “Dust 2 Dust,” “Insane” and “Walls.” The band’s indie country/southern rock sound was also showcased when they played their newest single “Brother Joe.” They showed off their powerful lyrics in unreleased tracks “Next To You” and “Say.” After enchanting the crowd, the band ended the set with current hit single “Smoke & A Light,” which is currently sitting at No. 39 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs.

As the lights went down and the band started to play, anticipation for Gossett was felt in the room. The Big Loud Texas/Mercury Records singer kicked things off with track “Lone Ole Cowboy.” After instantly connecting with the crowd, he shared that this was his “first full band show in Nashville.” He then continued the set with fan favorites “To Be Free” and “If I Had A Lover.”
Gossett swooned the crowd with another fan favorite, “Beneath Oak Trees,” a song inspired by his wedding day. His band then left the stage, leaving Gossett underneath a lone spotlight with his guitar. He used the time to spotlight his songwriting with an unreleased track called “Running From The Sun.” As his band made their way back to the stage, Gossett got the crowd hyped up by playing the harmonica during “No Better Time.”
Taking the crowd back home to Texas, Gossett spotlighted his signature sound with another unreleased track “Back 40,” which got a big reaction from the crowd. “Thank y’all so much for being here tonight. I can’t thank y’all enough for letting us do this,” he shared before performing “Flip A Coin” from his No Better Time EP and then a stellar cover of Travis Tritt‘s “It’s A Great Day To Be Alive.”
“It’s been a pretty crazy year. About a year ago, I didn’t even have a song out. Now we’re all here singing songs together,” Gossett said as he was reflecting on his journey in the last year. After showing off his lyricism with “Bitter Winds” and “Finally Stop Dreaming,” he gave fans another taste of new music with the unreleased “Baptized By Rain.”
As the Nashville crowd eagerly awaited what was next, Gossett said into the microphone, “I think y’all know this one, sing it with us.” He went into his breakout hit “Coal” before the crowd took over and screamed every single word. He then wrapped up the night with an encore performance of fan favorite “Somewhere Between.”
Gossett’s “No Better Time Tour” will wrap up with two more stops in Houston and Dallas, Texas.
