SUMMARY:Live Music: Preston Cooper - Smithgall Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:With a vocal so expressive it builds into jaw-dropping eruptions of power and emotion\, 22-year-old artist Preston Cooper represents the start of a new generation in Country Rock. The biggest voice to ever hail from the tiny town of Fredericktown\, Ohio\, Preston’s soulful and blues inspired vocal is a potent force of nature\, drawing comparisons to icons like Chris Stapleton and Bob Seger. First picking up guitar as a high school freshman\, he joined the US Postal Service after graduation and found local fame as “The Singing Mailman” – walking up to 14 miles each day while belting out raw\, raspy vocal runs\, then clocking out to perform across the region. Hundreds of shows later\, hit-making legends Brad and Brett Warren (Tim McGraw\, Dierks Bentley\, Keith Urban) discovered Preston at a Toledo songwriter’s round\, and quickly recognized his once-in-a-lifetime talent. With his debut album\, Toledo Talkin’\, released August 29\, the first chapter of this generational talent’s story unfolds. With 12 incendiary tracks – all but three co-written by the no-frills newcomer – Toledo Talkin’ was recorded with an old-school\, full-band process\, lashed together with sheer vocal intensity miles different from the Music Row norm. The album wields a mix of raw\, organic Country and edgy Alt Rock\, as evidenced on his show-stopping debut track “Weak\,” emotive “One More Place I’ve Never Been\,” shot of nostalgia “Numbers On A Mailbox\,” highway rocker “One For The Road\,” and personal reflection “The Takedown.” Preston recently wrapped his run as direct support for Kameron Marlowe’s Keepin’ The Lights On Tour and select dates of Riley Green’s Country Music Tour. Preston made his Grand Ole Opry Debut on October 24th and was introduced by Vince Gill. Preston will keep busy in 2026 as he tours fairs\, festivals\, and a run of headlining shows. For more information\, visit www.prestoncoopermusic.com. \nGates open at 6:30pm. Bring a bag chair or reserve a table. RAIN OR SHINE – NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINKS! Preorder a meal when purchasing tickets from our featured caterer Epting Events – limited number of meals will be available at the concert.
