Brent Cobb Announces “Sucker For A Good Time” Tour
Georgia songwriter Brent Cobb has been out on the road bolstering his name recognition in 2018 as one of the opening acts on Chris Stapleton’s All-American Road Show tour, and now as that tour winds down, Brent Cobb has ordered up a bunch of new tour dates coming up in 2019. Called the “Sucker For a Good Time” tour, it will start in mid January in Atlanta, then snake throughout the South, Midwest, and Texas before finishing up in Kentucky in late March.
“The last couple years of touring have really been heart warming for myself and Them,” Brent Cobb says— ‘Them’ apparently being the nickname of his backing band. “To see so many folks care enough to come to our shows and listen has meant more than I can even tell you. With that said, I’m proud to say here we go again!”
On the tour, Cobb will also open for the Tedeschi Trucks Band at the Ryman Auditorium on January 31st, play with American Aquarium and Courtney Marie Andrews at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh, North Carolina on January 25th, and play a show with William Clark Green on February 22nd in St. Louis.
Earlier this year Brent Cobb released the funky country record Providence Canyon via his cousin Dave Cobb’s Low Country Sound imprint on Elektra. He also recently appeared on the track “She Don’t Love Me” on fellow Low Country Sound songwriter Adam Hood’s new album Somewhere in Between.
Sucker For a Good Time Tour Dates:
January 31—Nashville, TN—Ryman Auditorium†
February 14—Dallas, TX—Trees
February 23—Wilson, AR—The Grange at Wilson
† supporting Tedeschi Trucks Band
‡ with William Clark Green

Dang it I hate Stubb’s, Trig. Do you know anything about the venue he’s playing in Dallas? I really wanna see him but I am loathe to give money to Stubb’s.

Last time I went to Trees, Bill Clinton was still in office, right when Deep Ellum was just coming up again. Can’t imagine it’s still the same location or layout these days, but it was THE club at that time. Agree Stubbs can be a boner kill, but inside is not as bad.

Inside stubbs isn’t that bad. But agree, outside is a cluster on big shows. Inside is actually pretty cool IMO. It’s small, so crowded shows can be a pain if you dont like crowds. I’ve seen several inside shows and have enjoyed them.

Is there a way to know if he will be inside or outside? I ride or die for ATX, but I hate outside Stubb’s (never watched inside), and Trees may be cool, but I hate Dallas in general.

It says Stubbs Jr., so I am guessing that’s inside. Can’t see Cobb being big enough for outside, but inside seems a little small too.

I just checked Stubbs website and they have it listed as indoors. As trigger said, I guess JR is indoors.
I had tickets to his last show at stubbs but was unable to go. I’d reccomend this show, I like inside Stubbs.

He looks like a hobbit. Brent Cobb is your friendly soulful southern hobbit from Swampyshire.

I’ve been wearing out Cobb’s albums lately, can’t beat the country funk. Too bad he’s not coming up north any time soon. Maybe I’ll have to road trip it to Memphis.

I saw Brent Cobb a couple weeks ago opening for Chris Stapleton at Rupp Arena in Lexington. Really liked what I heard. Worth seeing if they come thru your area in my opinion.

Mine too. It’s an understated album, without the hype and elevated expectations of a Jinks or a Morgan, but it’s got a lot going for it. Good easy vibes, good playing, good songwriting etc. Great for a bbq, a beer on the porch, a long drive. Dude seems like a good guy, too. He leveled up on this one compared to the last, and I’m hoping the next one takes it up another notch too.

This past Saturday I got to see Chris Stapleton. The wife ordered the tickets, and on the way to the show I wondered who was opening. I got super pumped when she told me it was Brent Cobb and Marty Stewart. I have been wanting to see Brent, and he didn’t disappoint. He was excellent live. Hopefully he heads a little farther up north east so I can catch him on his tour

I saw Brent opening for Chris Stapleton as well – to me and a bunch of other folks in what was a sadly late-arriving crowd, he stole the show. Absolutely crushed it. Can’t wait to see him come back through town.

Trigger,
I don’t know if you have an opinion on this or not, but I’d love to hear your thoughts. I’ve seen Brent Cobb a total of 4 times (solely as an opener for Stapleton) and every time I’ve seen him he has sounded fantastic, but his stage presence comes across as he has never been more bored in his life. No charisma, no movement, no spunk or smile. He just stands and sings. Now, I understand the idea of “let the music speak for itself” but people also pay for a show, right? The strangers next to me at the last concert I saw with Brent & Chris (Sat, Nov 3) completely agreed he looked bored. Then one of my friends asked me how was the show the next day and I of course told them I was blown away by Stapleton but Brent Cobb was eh, and she told me that her and her mom were saying ththe same thing when they saw him! So my question is how do you balance letting the music speak for itself and looking like you’re just out there to get it over with?
