Brent Cobb at the Crystal Ballroom on Monday

By SCOTT CUNNINGHAM // Appears with Jamey Johnson and Margo Price

Brent Cobb released his first full-length LP last year, an album which Rolling Stone ranked in its Top 40 country albums of 2016. He will be appearing at the Crystal Ballroom Monday evening along with Jamey Johnson and Margo Price. The show is sold out.

If the name Cobb rings a bell, it is probably because his cousin Dave Cobb is one of the best producers in Nashville (Chris Stapleton, Shooter Jennings, Jason Isbell). Dave also produced Brent's album. "Shine On Rainy Day" is a delightful collection of songs rooted in Southern life and culture. Full of dark humor interspersed with playful self-deprecation, the album captures a homey snapshot of life from Cobb's rural Georgia. His writing has always been top notch and he has penned songs for the likes of Miranda Lambert, Lucas Bryan, and Kenny Chesney.

ON TOUR: Brent Cobb will be at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland on Monday, May 8 with Jamey Johnson and Margo Price. Doors 7:00PM / Show 7:30PM. The show is sold old.
