Colton Dawson has signed with WME.

Dawson first garnered attention after an appearance opening for Clay Walker at his sold-out show at the Ryman Auditorium, where Dawson received two standing ovations performing with only his guitar. He has since opened for Lainey Wilson, Cole Swindell, Braxton Keith, Jake Worthington and Josh Turner. Drawing inspiration from Merle Haggard, Keith Whitley, Randy Travis and Vince Gill, Dawson recently signed with Warner Records Nashville and is managed by TKO Artist Management.

“Colton has a voice and presence that immediately grabs your attention,” says WME’s Barry Jeffrey. “There’s an authenticity to what he does that feels deeply rooted in country music while still connecting with a new generation of fans. We’re excited to be part of what’s ahead.”

“Signing with WME is a huge milestone for me,” adds Dawson. “I grew up loving country music and dreaming about playing these kinds of stages, so to now have a team that believes in what I’m building means the world. I’m ready to get out there and keep earning it every night.”

The Arizona native has released three new tracks over the past few months, “Might Be In It,” “It’s Gonna Rain” and “Piece of Heaven” and is slated to release more music soon.
