Corey Kent Slates Sophomore Album & Headlining Tour For September
Corey Kent plans to release his sophomore album, Black Bandana, on Sept. 6 via Sony Music Nashville before hitting the road on his “Black Bandana Tour” later in the month.
The Platinum-selling artist gave fans a taste of the project today (June 21) with the release of “Never Ready,” a track he wrote alongside Austin Goodloe, Joybeth Taylor and Lydia Vaughan that finds the father of three reflecting on the moments in life you can never truly be ready for—whether it is the birth of your child or the loss of a parent.
“There are a few virtues that I live my life by. They have guided me in the toughest and darkest of times. One being unwavering hope…believing if the odds are one in a million, you’ll be the one,” Kent shares regarding the forthcoming collection. “Another being relentless perseverance…when everyone else quits, you stay the course. This album embodies those virtues. We all have our battles to fight. Our people to love and protect. It ain’t always easy. When the going gets tough and you feel like waving the white flag, I hope this record inspires you to raise a black bandana instead.”
Additionally, he will kick off the tour in Paso Robles, California on Sept. 21 and travel across both the U.S. and U.K., with stops in New York, Boston, Atlanta, Wichita, Charlotte, Dublin, London and more into early 2025. Braxton Keith, Kaitlin Butts, Max McNown, Karley Scott Collins and Lauren Watkins are set to join on select dates.
“For us, the black bandana has been what we’ve picked up in times when everyone thought we should wave a white flag to surrender,” says Kent. “I’ve spent a lot of years raising my black bandana high and letting ’em know that I wasn’t giving up that easy. I’m so excited to still be doing what I love and can’t wait to get on the road this fall and see all those black bandanas waving back at me.”
