Colton Bowlin is a 21-year-old singer-songwriter from Albany, Kentucky, whose roots run as deep as the small-town feed mill where he spent his formative years working alongside his grandfather. Raised on classic country — Conway Twitty, Johnny Paycheck, Merle Haggard — and shaped by the stories of old-timers who frequented his grandpa’s mill, Bowlin channels that world into his debut album Grandpa’s Mill, a 12-song collection produced by Dave Ferguson (Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson) and recorded at Chase Park Transduction Studios in Athens, Georgia. Spanning honky-tonk, roots-rock, and touches of bluegrass, the album is a heartfelt dedication to the place and the man that made him — a country-rooted, genre-fluid debut from a young artist who’s been hungry since the day he first picked up a guitar.
