Dustin Lynch

Dustin Lynch moved to Nashville in 2003 in pursuit of a career in country music. He signed to Broken Bow Record in late 2011, and released his debut single “Cowboys and Angles” on January 16th 2012. It’s a mid-tempo song that gained a lot of critical acclaim, such as Billy Dukes of Taste of Country, who gave the song four out five, praising Lynch’s “sturdy voice” saying that the chorus “Showcases his natural talent”. It debuted at number 59 on the U.S Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the week of January 21st 2012. It climbed to number 2 in October. His self-titled debut album, released on August 21st 2012, made it to the top spot of the Country charts. Later that year, “She Cranks My Tractor”, which was released on November 19th 2012, also charted, as did the third single from Lynch’s self-titled album, “Wild in your Smile” which made it to number 32 on the Country chart. Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song three and a half stars, saying that “a lesser singer may have turned this song into a droll, cliché experience but “Wild in your Smile” pops with the help of some country-rock production”. He also said that “it sounds so easy for Lynch to sing with strength and conviction, and he’s showing the capability to navigate the subtleties that separate a good song from a great song”.

In early 2014, on March 31st, Lynch released his fourth single, “Where It’s At (Yep, Yep)”, which became his first number one on the Country Airplay chart in September 2014.

He received nominations for Single of the Year and Music Video of the Year at the American Country Awards 2012. He also received a CMT Music Award nomination for Breakthrough Video of the Year for “”Cowboys and Angels” in 2013.
