While pretty much every pop country bro tries and struggles mightily to incorporate more rock into his sound, Mitchell Tenpenny is the rare exception with a knack for actually pulling it off. A nominee for New Artist of the Year at the 2024 CMA Awards, the singer-songwriter’s recent album The 3rd spans the sonic spectrum. Sure, he’s got the soft soulful country solo tracks (“The 3rd”) and duets (“Guess We’ll Never Know” with Colbie Caillat), but the album also boasts disco vibes (“Started Stoppin’”) and even a wildly unexpected collaborative track with metalcore standouts Underoath (“Demon or Ghost”). Don’t expect just a country concert when Tenpenny visits Northern Quest.
