Brent Cobb is a country music singer-songwriter and artist hailing from Americus, Georgia, USA. Born on August 1, 1986, he has established himself as a talented musician with his unique blend of heartfelt lyrics and soulful melodies.

With influences ranging from traditional country to southern rock, Cobb's music resonates with fans across genres. His honest storytelling and raw emotion shine through in every song he writes and performs.

Similar artists who share Cobb's passion for authentic country music include *The Steel Woods*, *Paul Cauthen*, *Charley Crockett*, *Rob Baird*, *The Band Of Heathens*, *Whitey Morgan and the 78's*, *Uncle Lucius*, *Cody Jinks*, *Drake White*, *Ward Davis*, *American Aquarium*, *Jamey Johnson*,*The Jompson Brothers,*Hayes Carll,*Red Shahan,*Ian Noe,*Vincent Neil Emerson,*Chris Knight,*Ray Wylie Hubbard,*Mike and the Moonpies*. These artists are known for their commitment to preserving the roots of country music while adding their own modern twist.

For his fourth album, Keep ‘Em on They Toes, Brent Cobb is giving his songs the space they need to speak for themselves, a reflection of his own decision to write about the way he sees the world.

At his core, Cobb still writes country songs, so there’s a continuity between Keep ‘Em on They Toes and past projects like 2016’s Shine on Rainy Day (a Grammy nominee for Best Americana Album) and 2018’s Providence Canyon. After living in LA and Nashville to develop his music career, Cobb and his family moved back to Georgia a few years ago – a decision that affected his songwriting.

Cobb and his band recorded the project in Durham, North Carolina, with producer Brad Cook. Inspired by the spaciousness of classic country albums like Jerry Lee Lewis’ 1977 Country Memories, the new project allows the listener to hear everything that’s going on, yet the songs remain the star of the show.

Keep ‘Em on They Toes, Cobb captures the mindset of a man who values a simpler time despite living in a modern world. “To me, listening to this album feels like I’m sitting there with somebody, having a conversation,” Cobb says. “I would hope that it feels like sitting with an old friend you haven’t seen in a while. There’s nothing like being alone and listening to an album that is quiet and conversational – like those old records by Jerry Lee Lewis, Roger Miller, or Willie Nelson. I hope my music is that way to somebody now.”
