Hailing from Americus Georgia, Brent Cobb got his start with his first record “No Place to Leave” in 2006, a roots meets red hot chilli peppers- esque album produced by his cousin Dave Cobb. After “no place to leave”, Brent returned to Georgia but moved to Nashville shortly after with the encouragement of singer Luke Bryan- where Cobb then joined carnival music publishing as a regular songwriter. Since then Cobb has written songs for artists such as kenny chesney, miranda lambert, luke bryan, and little big town.
In addition to songwriting- Cobb continued to release his own records and received a 2018 grammy award nomination for his album “Shine on Rainy Day”.
Cobb's latest album “Keep ‘Em on They Toes” was released september of 2020- and it’s the kind of record that you wish you could listen to for the first time again. in the songs written for his newborn child- Cobb espouses simple advice to not only stay ahead but stay content in one's life. While other tracks break down the difficulty of finding common ground in an ever growing divided social consciousness. With that said, Cobb's delivery remains straight-forward and earnest. The album is solid as any good advice one can receive in life and is backed by beautifully strung instrumentation. There's more on his horizon, so please join us as our host Robert Earl Keen speaks with Cobb about songwriting, the wise words of Shooter Jennings, and the future of Americana music.
