Cale Dodds is a Georgia native who moved to Nashville in 2011 and wasted no time hitting the road, touring alongside Sam Hunt, Brett Eldredge, Billy Currington, and Chase Rice. His live show—where rock ’n’ roll energy collides with country soul—has become his calling card, earning him a reputation as a must-see performer.

Before signing with Warner Music Nashville, Dodds built his fanbase the old-fashioned way: face-to-face and city by city. That grassroots grind resulted in more than 30 million independent digital streams and caught the attention of industry tastemakers. Rolling Stone named him one of their “New Country Artists You Need to Know,” while CMT Listen Up and Pandora spotlighted him as an artist on the rise. Billboard also hailed his CMA Fest performance as “one of the best shows to see.”

As a songwriter, Dodds has made an equally powerful impact. He co-wrote the Top 20 hit “(This Ain’t No) Drunk Dial” by A Thousand Horses and the two-week No. 1 single “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.” by Chase Rice featuring Florida Georgia Line. His catalog has been featured across film, television, and major brand campaigns, including College GameDay, ABC’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, Chevy, RAM Trucks, ESPN, CBS, and the Madden NFL video game series.

With additional cuts by Chris Young, Scotty McCreery, Canaan Smith, Cassadee Pope, and Lit, Dodds remains a trusted voice in the writing room. Now entering a new creative chapter, he’s releasing fresh music every 6–8 weeks—pushing forward with purpose and proving his best work is still ahead.
