With a voice as big as his Kentucky roots, Dillon Carmichael delivers country music that’s built to last. Hailing from Burgin, Kentucky, the powerhouse vocalist and songwriter blends down-home grit with soulful conviction, forging a sound that nods to tradition while carving his own lane. 

He’s spent the past few years building momentum with support from country heavyweights. Carmichael co-produced his 2021 album Son of A with Jon Pardi, landing back-to-back Top 25 singles with “Son Of A” and “Drinkin’ Problems.” He’s also hit the road with Cody Johnson, Luke Bryan, and Jon Pardi, bringing his electrifying live show to packed crowds across the U.S. and Europe. His growing reputation earned him a coveted spot as a 2024 New Face of Country Music at Country Radio Seminar. 

Now, with his third studio album Keepin’ Country Alive, Carmichael enters his strongest era yet. Recorded at Nashville’s Blackbird Studio and produced by Phil O’Donnell, the album is a love letter to his roots, filled with stories of hard work, hometown pride, and holding tight to what matters. Lead singles like “Raised Up Wrong” and “She Gone” showcase his wide vocal range and songwriting, while connecting with fans hungry for something real. 

Music runs deep in Carmichael’s DNA. He’s the nephew of John Michael Montgomery and Eddie Montgomery, and was raised in a tight-knit farming town where he first picked up guitar at 12. After moving to Nashville, he worked security at the Grand Ole Opry while chasing his own musical dreams, a journey that led to his debut album Hell On An Angel (produced by Dave Cobb), and critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, The New York Times, and Billboard. 

Whether he’s channeling Southern rock or stripped-down vulnerability, Carmichael remains grounded in the kind of country music that cuts deep and lasts long. “I’m proud to be from a place where people look out for each other,” he says. “That’s what this album’s about, holding on to the good stuff, the stuff that raised us.” 

With Keepin’ Country Alive, Dillon Carmichael plants his flag loud, proud, and here to stay
