Cole Swindell

Hailing from Glenville, Georgia, Cole Swindell is just now beginning to follow a path that seems to have been tread increasingly often these past few years; after spending almost a decade as a songwriter for hire, penning songs for others, he’s now stepping out as a recording artist in his own right, with his self-titled debut dropping earlier this year. It’s one thing for him to make a country record, though - after all, he’ll have seen the inside of a fair few recording studios down the years - and another entirely to be thrown into the deep end of live performance; that’s precisely why it was so undeniably impressive to see how he handled that particular transition when he played his debut U.S. dates last year. Backed by an impressively tight band, Swindell proved that, with just the mic in hand, he could command an audience’s attention with his laid-back vocal style - check out his performance of ‘Chillin’ It’ on the David Letterman show for proof - Swindell genuinely exudes confidence, and the only real question is why he left it so long to get started on his own career.

If you are a fan of country music, you are likely to have heard one of Cole Swindell's tracks sung by the likes of Luke Bryan or Thomas Rhett over the past few years. The Georgian singer/songwriter recently got round to recording his own debut album which was an instant success and saw Swindle amass a large following for his easy listening sounds.

The reputation of his live shows grew further due to Cole's likeable personality and natural interaction with his audiences. Plus the likes of 'Ain't Worth the Whiskey' performed particularly well on the singles chart so his material is very well known and is sang back in force during the performance. Many fans do not realise Cole has enjoyed a successful writing career so when he performs modern country classics such as 'Beer in the Headlights' and 'Water Tower Town' there are rapturous applause. There is no denying Cole Swindell has had a fantastic introduction to the country music scene and is now set to have a fantastic career all of his own.

First off, what better way to spend Veterans Day than a blowout concert with Cole Swindell. Seriously, I had a blast rocking out with Cole and his sidekick Adam Sanders. One thing for sure is that my sister told me was that bar concerts can be more entertaining than an arena concert. And man she was right. The entire crowd was pumped all night and the house was burnt down. The best part of all was it was the first show and stop for Cole on his Down Home Tour. Cole's music is just amazing and he continues to adding to the list of his amazing inspiring songs! Man I can't wait for Cole and the Down Home Tour to return to NYC. Have an awesome day y'all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was amazing! He is such a down to Earth person. All about the people! When he sang "You ain't worth the Wiskey" and he dedicated it to Service men and women, then first responders the Police and Firemen it really hit home for me. My son is a State Trooper in South Carolina and after doing a traffic stop for a DUI he was hit by another drunk at 60 mph. I am grateful that he survived, he just has so many surgeries ahead of him. Cole mentioned how first responders help strangers everyday and yes my son loved his job and making a difference! Thanks Cole for the shout out! I will definitely see him again!!

Cole killed it !!!!! Outstanding performance ! Full of energy , showing his appreciation for the men and women in uniform and our soldiers! Covering Tim McGraw, some Thomas Rhet etc, he sang new songs old songs covers of songs it was amazing ! Even his opening act Morgan Evans from Aussie was great and fun! We love everytime Cole comes to Joes Bar I’m chicago! He’s my favorite country artist since day one ! Can’t wait to see him back here in Chicago for country lake shake !!!!

We LOVE Cole Swindell!!! This was our 3rd time seeing him and he just gets better and better! His encore and ending had the whole place on their feet singing word for word with him!! I love how his song "worth the whiskey" has become such an important "thank you" portion of his show. FULL of 'Merica Love!!! Makes me proud to be a fan! Can hardly wait to see him again!

Even though he has gotten much bigger in the past year or so, Cole is still so humble and genuinely appreciative of his fans and makes each one feel special in the way he performs.. sounds amazing live and has a good balance of talking to the crowd and singing. He also does some cool mashups and covers.. I definitely recommend!

Great concert at the Greek Theatre last night. We saw Cole Swindell and Lauren Alaina too, but I was there mainly for Chris Janson!!! After seeing Janson at the Grand Ole Opry in 2015, I was hooked!! But, with the 3 of them together on this Reason To Drink tour, it's a must see show for any fan of Country music!!!

I've been to many concerts and this one by far, was the best one I have been to. The atmosphere was and Cole was amazing. He's an excellent performer and I would definitely pay money to see him again. The bar was great and my overall experience was awesome. Great way to celebrate my 21st birthday.
