From Bible College to the Big Stage: The Story of Dalton Davis
Every now and then, an artist comes along who doesn’t just sing country music – they live it. Dalton Davis is one of those guys. Raised in gospel music, he took the long road to country – from playing bass on the road to working as a worship pastor to figuring out his own sound in a house full of rappers and R&B singers. Yeah, you read that right.
Dalton sat down with Kurt Ozan and Nicky T to talk about his whirlwind journey, from playing barn parties in Chattanooga to landing an opening spot for Midland – all because of a vintage watch. 🤯
Key Moments from the Episode
🔹 The Watch That Changed Everything: Dalton ran into Midland at a Chattanooga breakfast joint and ended up opening for them that same night… thanks to a slick Rolex trade.
🔹 His Unique Sound: A mix of ’90s country, gospel, and a whole lot of groove, bringing something fresh to traditional country fans.
🔹 The Nashville Hustle: Signing his first publishing deal with Universal Music, locking in a record deal with Version 3, and setting the stage for his debut album dropping in April.
