Hear Gavin Adcock's New Single 'Shoes'

08-14-2026

(EBM) Georgia native Gavin Adcock arrives today with a vulnerable new song, revealing that achieving a dream doesn't always equate to happiness; and sometimes, the people we view as successful are just as eager to walk in our shoes as we are to walk in theirs.

"'Shoes' is about how everybody looks in the mirror and for some reason thinks their life isn't good enough. They look at other people and think the grass is greener on the other side," shares Adcock. "It's a reminder for everybody that we've only got one life. Live it. Love it. Make the best out of it!"

Written by Adcock and Jon Michael McKinnon, "Shoes" peels back the layers of success, offering a raw look at the cost of growing a career while missing out on important life events. The release is Adcock's latest off his upcoming third studio album in three years, The Day I Hang It Up, due October 2 via Thrivin Here Records/Warner Records Nashville.

With American Songwriter dubbing him a "modern-day outlaw...building a career reminiscent of artists like Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, and more," Adcock's upcoming project is a continuation of the signature grit and adrenaline-fueled anthems that have garnered him over 2.4 billion career streams to-date.

Adcock's headlining The Day I Hang It Up Tour is now underway with a rotating lineup of special guests including Pecos & The Rooftops, Corey Kent, Tyler Nance, Jake Worthington, The Creekers, Braxton Keith and Mack Geiger. The tour promises to deliver fans across 30 cities with a live show experience denoted by Music Row as a "rowdy, high-octane performance" which Adcock is known for.
