Rooted in the classic skills of country music’s past, but finding new ways to deliver three chords and the truth, Dylan Marlowe is an emerging Sony Music Nashville artist who proves tradition and convention are very different things. Drawing on the familiar themes of small-town youth, but amplified with punk rock propulsion and outside-the-county-line lyricism, his approach to country music is anything but tried and true … more like “why the hell not?” Standing apart from his peers while staying true to himself, Marlowe combines his ability to craft a story and unique, country-punk energy, giving fans a look at the roller coaster of life in one’s 20s. Themes such as breakups and bonfires, bobbers in the water and the rush of being in love keep the project grounded, but Marlowe stretches his creative legs throughout, imagining deer heads that no love is worth getting rid of, hanging out in the back 40 and setting land speed records with a water craft in tow.
