Headlining 2024 “Bad Decisions Tour,”
Already Sold Out in Multiple Cities
Featuring Fan-Favorite “Carhartt,”
Listen to the Album HERE
“Country Music’s Next Rising Star” (Billboard) Dylan Schneider releases his debut album, PUZZLED, today. Filled to the brim with his stadium-ready anthems, the “Artist to Watch” (Pandora, Amazon Music, Taste of Country) packs the electrifying energy of his live show into an unforgettable and highly anticipated debut project, expertly mixing his incomparable rock-n-roll edge and pop-country swagger into 16 uniquely compelling tracks. Listen now HERE.
“When I started this album, writing the songs and deciding what would make the record, I wanted to make sure I got everything exactly right, because these songs are my story,” shares Schneider. “Getting to share my life online is one thing, but this project truly shows who I am as a person and where I’m heading next. I’m so proud of this album and am so excited it’s out. Hope y’all enjoy it, and I’ll see you out on the ‘Bad Decisions Tour!’”
Already receiving critical acclaim, Taste of Country praised, “This body of work showcases not only the singer’s impressive vocal range, but also his gifted lyric crafting…It’s a roll down your windows album, highlighting upbeat hits and slower, soulful numbers,” even predicting that standout track “Carhartt” – which matches the iconic brand’s blue-collar toughness with a flirtatious backroad swagger and steamy, late-night sway – will be “the song of the fall.”
Co-writing every track, apart from the title track that he wrote entirely by himself, the MusicRow-praised “2024 Next Big Thing” brings new maturity and fresh bite to his unique brand of heartland pop, as country, rock and hip-hop fuse in a soundtrack of small-town story craft.
Breathing new life into relatable stories, the tantalizingly catchy “Better Than You Left Me” puts the good in goodbye, as the highly infectious, soulful and vibe-inducing track lets an ex know he isn’t looking back, while “Country Right” bumps the speakers up to ten, as the fully countrified track highlights the best parts of living off the beaten path. But it’s with tracks like the bewildered enlightenment of “Puzzled” that highlights the nostalgic complexities of growing up, the tenderly beautiful Johnny Cash tribute “Without June,” and the whirling “Here Comes The Sun” that showcase Schneider’s colorful lyricism and storytelling prowess.
With no signs of slowing down and “a fanbase with a voracious appetite, Schneider’s star will only continue to rise in 2024” (Music Row), as the tenacious road warrior will hit major markets such as Los Angeles, Nashville, Dallas, Chicago, Seattle and more on his headlining 2024 “Bad Decisions Tour” this fall that has already sold out in numerous cities. Having been out with Nate Smith, Kane Brown and Luke Bryan this year, Schneider continues the momentum opening on Mitchell Tenpenny’s “Woke Up In A Dream Tour.”
