Georgia-Native Set to Release New Single “Damn Good Life” Sept. 23;
Pre-Save Available Now
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As he gets ready to wrap his seven-night Ole Red residency tonight, Dalton Dover announces he will support Priscilla Block this fall on the Welcome to the Block Party Tour launching Oct. 13 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Tickets are on sale now.
His next single “Damn Good Life,” written by Dover, Alex Maxwell and Jaxson Free is set for release Sept. 23 and available to pre-save HERE.
“I wanted to write a song that makes people smile. There are plenty of drinkin’ songs, and there are plenty of love songs, but not enough feel-good songs,” Dover shares. “When Alex, Jaxson and I sat down, we were having a great day ‘Damn Good Life’ basically wrote itself. It’s a reminder not to take all the little things for granted in life. I’m pumped to have it out in the world and hope that everyone just has a better day because of it. I can’t wait to play it out on the road with Priscilla Block this Fall!”
“When we played in Rome, Georgia this spring on my headline tour, Dalton’s hometown, he came up on stage and sang with me. We had such a good time, I figured we should make a full tour out of it,” adds Block. “He’s the absolute sweetest, and he can SING! I’m so glad to have him out this fall with us.”
The new track will follow recent release “Hear About A Girl,” which showcases the twenty-three-year-old’s dynamic vocals, with MusicRow sharing the song is “beautifully done” and praising, “We’re the presence of a master country talent when this man sings. Make him a star. Now.”
Released via industry vet Jim Catino’s Droptine Recordings, “Hear About a Girl” is the follow-up to Dover’s debut songs “You Got A Small Town” and “Baby I Am,” garnering critical acclaim from Billboard, sharing “he infuses his brand of country with a bluesy intensity,” and earning a spotlight as February’s Country Rookie of the Month. He was also named Country Now “Country Next” artist, sharing “Dover’s country music career may be just beginning, but his star is quickly catching fire.”

About Dalton Dover
Lauded by MusicRow as a “master country talent,” twenty-three-year-old Dalton Dover first started singing at church as a kid, winning his fifth-grade school talent show performing Justin Bieber’s “Baby.” In that moment Dover’s love of performing was born. By the age of 16 he had picked up a guitar and started teaching himself to play, yet it was his grandfather who turned him on to country music and artists such as Keith Whitley, Rhett Akins, Joe Diffie and Steve Wariner. Enamored with the honesty and storytelling found in country music, Whitley’s “Don’t Close Your Eyes” was the first song Dover taught himself to play on guitar. Performances at local bars soon followed along with sharing covers of some of his favorite songs on TikTok. It was there he caught the ear of producer Matt McV and A&R Veteran and founder of Droptine Recordings, Jim Catino, who quickly signed Dover.
Married to his high school sweetheart, Faith, the two have lived in the same rural Georgia small town, population 1,200, all their lives, important for the Dovers to give their two young children, Taylor and Alyiah, the same idyllic childhood they had growing up — the life one finds in a small town. And it’s that pace and familiarity he enjoys so much that he sings about on his debut track “You Got a Small Town.” Produced by McV, “You Got A Small Town” quickly garnered critical acclaim from Billboard, MusicRow, Country Now and Wide Open Country. With his debut and follow-up “Baby I Am” earning notable playlisting, Dover was named a Spotify Hot Country 2022 Artist to Watch. Dover’s latest single “Hear About A Girl” is available now, with plans to release “Damn Good Life” later this fall.
After opening for Luke Comb’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium show in Atlanta, Ga. earlier this summer, Dover set out on his seven-night August residency, performing across multiple locations of Blake Shelton’s Ole Red. Dover will bring his captivating live set to Priscilla Block’s Welcome to the Block Party Tour this fall, kicking off Oct. 13 in Cincinnati, Ohio. For the latest follow along on
About Priscilla Block
Country artist Priscilla Block draws listeners in with her unfiltered, relatable songwriting and catchy melodies. Pegged as an Artist to Watch by Amazon Music, PANDORA, Spotify, CMT, The Boot, MusicRow, HITS, Sounds Like Nashville, Country Now, Music Mayhem and more, Priscilla’s honest and upfront approach promotes self-love, empowerment, and acceptance through her own blend of country pop and southern rock, dubbed the Block Party sound.
Early in the pandemic, Priscilla was struggling to make ends meet after losing her job and her apartment. Unable to get out and play in person due to COVID-19, Priscilla began experimenting on TikTok and quickly developed a rabid fanbase with songs like “Thick Thighs,” “PMS” and “Just About Over You.” Fans rallied together to independently fund Priscilla’s recording and since its release, “Just About Over You” peaked both the iTunes Country and All-Genre song charts, the song was named one of The New York Times Best Songs of 2020, and it recently reached Top 15 on country radio. Priscilla has surpassed more than 425+ million digital streams and counting with tracks like “Just About Over You,” “Wish You Were the Whiskey,” “I Bet You Wanna Know” and her current single, “My Bar,” all featured on her major label debut album, Welcome to the Block Party, out now.
Originally from Raleigh, NC, Priscilla moved to Nashville to pursue music shortly after high school. In Nashville, the affable, hardworking, student of life worked multiple jobs to make ends meet, then a chance encounter with her idol – Taylor Swift – was the sign she needed to dive all the way in on her music. Priscilla is a seasoned performer sharing the stage and opening for artists including Dierks Bentley, Jon Pardi, Kelsea Ballerini, Ashley McBryde, Rodney Atkins and more.
