PAUL CAUTHEN SETS NEW ALBUM BLACK ON BLACK FOR OCTOBER 25

ALBUM TRACK “SWEETHEART FROM THE TRAILER PARK” DEBUTS TODAY

ADDS NEW FALL TOUR DATES

August 16, 2024—Black on Black, the new album from rising country star Paul Cauthen, is set for release October 25 via Anemoia Records/Atlantic Records. In celebration of the forthcoming record, the album track “Sweetheart from the Trailer Park” is out today while Cauthen confirms a slew of fall tour dates. Listen to “Sweetheart from the Trailer Park” here and pre-save the album here.

Cauthen’s new dates include headline shows in Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle and more this fall. The consummate road warrior, this year sees Cauthen traversing North America following recent sets at Outside Lands, Montauk, NY’s Surf Lodge and many more. Tickets for the added shows will go on-sale Wednesday, August 21 at 10:00AM local time.

“Sweetheart from the Trailer Park” follows recently released singles “Black on Black,” the forthcoming album’s title track, and “Hot Damn.” The new songs and Black on Black come hot on the heels of a landmark few months for Cauthen, who brought out Lana Del Rey to duet on “Unchained Melody” at his Stagecoach set and features on Shaboozey’s “Last of my Kind” off of his new album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going.

Black on Black was written over the last several years during Paul’s travels across America on his motorcycle and in the tour bus and largely recorded at Rosewood Studios in Cauthen’s hometown of Tyler, TX with longtime collaborator Jason Burt (John Mayer, Leon Bridges).

Celebrated for his remarkable baritone voice which has earned him the nickname Big Velvet, Cauthen grew up singing in the church choir and cut his chops as part of a tight knit creative community in East Texas.

Cauthen has steadily risen through the ranks of country and Americana, first gaining notoriety with roots duo Sons of Fathers before embarking on a solo career with his debut album, My Gospel. He’s gone on to release two more much-lauded albums—Room 41 and 2022’s Country Coming Down—and toured the world over. Known for his raucous live show, Cauthen has collaborated and shared stages with Margo Price, Orville Peck, Elle King, Midland, Cody Jinks and many more.
