Gavin Adcock

Gavin Adcock is a Georgia native born and raised in Watkinsville. Former Georgia Southern University football player, Gavin grew up working on his family cattle farm and dreamed of riding bulls in the PBR. He started writing songs in high school, but it wasn’t until the spring of 2021, when Adcock tore his knee playing football, that he used his healing time to record and release his first original single. Since then, Gavin has released multiple singles, collectively amassing over 1 billion global streams including the fan-favorite “A Cigarette” raking in 150 million+ alone, along with his new album, Actin’ Up Again, which was crowned the largest major-label country debut from a solo male artist released in 2024. With more than 15 million on-demand U.S. streams week of release, Actin’ Up Again was also 2024’s top streaming major-label debut across the whole genre. On the heels of Actin’ Up Again, Adcock’s headlining tour dates continue to sell out almost as soon as they announce, with plenty of more dates being added, along with major festival appearances, throughout 2025.
