Colton Bowlin

Colton Bowlin grew up loading feed sacks and strumming guitar at his grandfather's feed mill in Albany, Kentucky. Raised on Conway Twitty, Johnny Paycheck, and the tall tales of old-timers on the Kentucky-Tennessee border, he started writing songs between long shifts — then driving straight to any bar that would let him play. With over 300,000 monthly Spotify listeners, the kid from the feed mill has become one of country music's most compelling independent voices.

His debut album Grandpa's Mill — a 12-song dedication to his late grandfather and the place that shaped him — was produced by Dave Ferguson (Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson) at Chase Park Transduction Studios in Athens, Georgia. It spans honky-tonk, roots-rock, and bluegrass, anchored by the kind of storytelling that only comes from living it. Out March 13, 2026.
