On Saturday, November 16 Dylan Gossett and Waylon Wyatt played a sold-out show at Irving Plaza. Gossett is currently nearing the end of his “The Back 40 Tour” and was joined by Waylon Wyatt for the last group of shows.
An 18 year-old county/folk singer from Arkansas, Waylon Wyatt began gaining popularity after posting his songs on social media. He later released his first two singles “Everything Under the Sun” & “Arkansas Diamond” in 2023. Over the summer he released his first EP Till the Sun Goes Down, consisting of eight songs, and just announced his first headlining tour. Waylon later met fans at the merch table and was joined by his father, who was proudly watching and recording his entire set. The two gave fans an experience of meeting their favorite artist, a rare opportunity today.
A Country singer from Texas, Dylan Gossett gained popularity when his single “Coal”, a song recorded on his laptop, broke into the Billboard Hot 100. Gossett got his start by sharing covers on social media, however he hooked fans with his beautiful lyrical ability. A year later Gossett sold out Irving Plaza and had the whole venue singing lyrics back to him like, “They say pressure makes diamonds. How the hell am I still coal?” (Coal) and “Well, a quarter in a fountain means that people still have dreams.” (No Better Time). The media began noticing the comparisons between Dylan Gossett and Zach Bryan’s writing styles, giving Gossett even more popularity. Gossett’s most recent release “Tree Birds” has fans awaiting a debut album.
Dylan Gossett and Waylon Wyatt are both set to play at Stagecoach 2025. The two singers fit perfectly together with their similar styles and honest lyrics. Their Irving Plaza concert left fans with a reminder that growth and happiness are often derived from embracing the unknown. Gossett reminds us of this in his song “No Better Time.”
