Breakout Country Star Parker McCollum Closes Out 2022 With His Latest Release 'Stoned'


By Stevie Connor.



Breakout Country star Parker McCollum is closing out 2022 with his latest release, “Stoned,” out now. The solemnly reflective track, written by McCollum, Brett James, and Mark Holman, explores the universal emotions of loneliness, uncertainty, and misunderstanding, and how we often find ways to self-medicate our feelings.

“I was going to save this song to be released with the album but, after the fans demanded it be released sooner, I decided to go ahead and give it to them,” says McCollum. “This song says so much while saying so little, which is exactly how I like it to be. I hope they love it!”

In addition to the release of “Stoned,” tickets for all of Parker’s announced 2023 tour dates are available now. Joining the highly touted road-warrior next year is an impressive group of rising county artists including Corey Kent, Catie Offerman, Larry Fleet, Jackson Dean, Flatland Cavalry, and Texas staple, the Randy Rogers Band. Co-produced by Live Nation and Emporium Presents, the upcoming tour will feature fan-favorite tunes and Parker’s biggest hits – including No. 1 songs “To Be Loved By You” and “Pretty Heart,” plus current chart climbing single “Handle On You” – as he gears up for another explosive year on-stage performing for the fans that make it all possible.

McCollum earned his first-ever No. 1 hit with his double-platinum certified debut single, “Pretty Heart,” and his follow-up gold certified single, “To Be Loved By You,” also hit No. 1 on the charts. “To Be Loved By You” was also the only debut single to ship to radio and peak at No.1 in 2020. In November of 2021, McCollum made his first late-night TV appearance performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

McCollum has been named an ‘Artist to Watch’ by Rolling Stone, Billboard, SiriusXM, CMT, RIAA, and more with American Songwriter noting, “The Texas native teeters on the edge of next-level superstardom.” MusicRow listed McCollum as their 2021 Breakout Artist of the Year and Apple also included him as one of their all-genre “Up Next Artists” Class of 2021. A dedicated road warrior, McCollum made his debut at the famed Grand Ole Opry in 2021 and he already sells out venues across the country (over 40 sold out shows nationwide in 2021) including record-breaking crowds in Dallas (20,000), The Woodlands (16,500), Austin (7500+), Lubbock (7700+), Jackson, MS (5000+), Kearney, NE (3000+), Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, and three nights at Fort Worth’s iconic Billy Bob’s Texas.


In March of this year McCollum made his debut at RODEOHOUSTON to a sold-out crowd with over 73,000 tickets sold. He also made a dream come true by performing at Austin City Limits for the first time and will be kicking-off their 2023 season.
