Drawing on the familiar themes of small-town youth, yet amplified with punk rock propulsion and outside-the-county-line lyricism, his debut album Mid-Twenties Crisis presents the simple truth of a complicated age, spoken plain (just against the grain). Raised in Statesboro, Georgia, the avid outdoorsmans unique creative path began with an equally-diverse soundtrack, ranging from Eric Church and Kenny Chesney to Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Good Charlotte and Blink-182. A self-taught writer fusing heartland storytelling with hard-edged intensity, Marlowe broke out with an attention-grabbing cover of Olivia Rodrigos drivers license in 2021, changing the lyrics to reflect his own backwoods story and resulting in more than half-a-million TikTok followers. Marlowe went on to drop a series of self-penned singles and EPs like Record High and Dirt Road When I Die, eventually racking up more than 282 million global career streams as an artist, while co-penning Jon Pardis Number One hit, Last Night Lonely. The 2023 anthem Boys Back Home (feat. Dylan Scott) has accounted for more than 112 million streams while becoming his first country radio single, and Marlowe has continued to cultivate an audience on tour with Cole Swindell, Hardy, Brantley Gilbert and more. Building on the momentum with 15 co-written tracks, Mid-Twenties Crisis fuses Nashville story craft and country-punk energy with angsty defiance and a clever smirk, as Marlowe captures the beautiful torment of the 20s decade. Standing apart from his peers while staying true to himself, the rising star reminds country fans that authenticity doesnt have to be boring. And in fact, the expected might be overrated.
