Dylan Marlowe: Georgia-Born Country Firebrand Taking Nashville by Storm

Hailing from Statesboro, Georgia, Dylan Marlowe is the real deal – a Sony Music Nashville artist who blends classic country tradition with fresh, raw edge and modern storytelling. Rooted in three chords and the truth, but never afraid to push boundaries, Marlowe delivers songs that hit straight to the soul of small-town life, heartbreak, redemption, and wild nights. 

His debut album Mid-Twenties Crisis (2024) has been a game-changer, capturing the highs and lows of that complicated age with honesty and fire. Marlowe has already racked up hundreds of millions of streams, co-penned massive hits like Jon Pardi’s “Last Night Lonely,” and built a die-hard fanbase through viral TikTok moments and relentless touring. 

Songs you NEED to know (and will hear at the Fair):

•  “Boys Back Home” (feat. Dylan Scott) – His massive breakthrough anthem that’s crossed 50+ million streams and became a country radio smash. Pure summer party energy! 

•  “Country in the Clouds” (with Conner Smith) – Dreamy, soaring vibes that paint the perfect picture of heartland escape.

•  “Record High” – A fan-favorite banger about living life to the fullest.

•  “Dirt Road When I Die” – Gritty, rootsy storytelling at its best.
