New Country 101-FIVE

About this show

Gavin Adcock, dubbed by  Billboard  as "one of country music’s most buzzed-about artists” is a Georgia native, born and raised in Watkinsville. Former Georgia Southern University football player, Gavin grew up working on his family’s cattle farm and dreamt of riding bulls in the PBR. He started writing songs in high school, but it wasn’t until the spring of 2021, when Adcock tore his knee playing football, that he used his healing time to record and release his first original single. Since then, Gavin has collectively amassed more than 1.5 BILLION global streams across singles including the fan-favorite, RIAA PLATINUM-certified, “A Cigarette,” GOLD-certified songs “Run Your Mouth,” “Deep End,” “Four Leaf Clover” and more. His album,  Actin’ Up Again , was crowned the largest major-label country debut from a solo male artist released in 2024 and was the year’s top streaming major-label debut across the genre. Within less than a year, Adcock more than doubled his previous streaming record with over 25 MILLION first week US streams on new album  Own Worst Enemy,  released August 15, 2025.  Own Worst Enemy  debuted as the top new Country album on the Billboard 200 Country Chart (No. 4) and top streaming new album on the Billboard 200 All-Genre Chart (No. 14) week of release. The  MusicRow  Awards “Discovery Artist of the Year” nominee has won  over the hearts of both Country music fans and music industry alike, leading to his  New Artist of the Year nomination at the 60th ACM Awards . Taking his music to the fans, Adcock continues to sell out music venues from coast-to-coast via multiple headline tours including his  Actin’ Up Again (Again)  Tour — and recently wrapped 2025  Need To  Tour. Gavin’s dedicated fanbase has quickly grown internationally, leading to Adcock selling out his 2025 Canadian Headline tour within one week. In addition to playing a plethora of new headline dates and major festival appearances, Adcock joins superstar Morgan Wallen for the second time as support on 16 dates of Wallen’s Still The Problem Tour 2026 .
