Country singer-songwriter Cole Swindell is embarking on a tour across the U.S. called Happy Hour Sad, named after a song on his latest album, Spanish Moss. Swindell first became a notable figure in the country music scene as a songwriter for fellow Georgia Southern alum Luke Bryan—whom Swindell first met when Bryan returned to GSU to play a show—and several other artists, writing and co-writing hits like “Roller Coaster” and “This is How We Roll.” He released his self-titled debut album around the same time, which includes successful tracks like “You Should Be Here” and “Middle of a Memory.” Swindell’s sound is known for its breeziness and pop leanings, also at times incorporating elements of rock and hip hop. Country singers Priscilla Block and Logan Crosby will be opening the show.
