Dillon Carmichael

Dillon Carmichael grew up in Burgin, Kentucky. He came from a musical family that included several other musicians, including two of his uncles: singers John Michael Montgomery and Eddie Montgomery, the latter one-half of Montgomery Gentry.[1] Carmichael began playing guitar at age eleven, and joined his friends at talent shows in his area. At age 18, he and his family were contacted by a representative of a publishing company, who encouraged Carmichael to move to Nashville, Tennessee after he had graduated high school. In 2018 he was recommended to record producer Dave Cobb, who produced Carmichael's independently released debut album Hell on an Angel in 2018.[1] Rolling Stone Country described the album as "Featuring his signature booming baritone vocals and a sonic blend that mixes the hard-nosed Outlaw country with the melodic edge of Southern rock."[2] In 2020, Dillon charted on Country Airplay with the single release "I Do for You".[3]
