Alternative rock singer-songwriter Willy Cobb’s new music, produced and co-written with country

singer Brent Cobb and The Cadillac Three leader Jaren Johnston, serves as a dynamic crash

course in his blend of down-home pride and punk attitude. As a kid riding in his family’s truck,

his dad would throw on Hank Williams, while his mom favored Nirvana. Now a rising talent in

Nashville, the singer and guitarist still channels his upbringing in his lyrics, which pay homage to

small-town misbehavior and malaise.

Not caring what people think is a crucial aspect of Cobb’s view of himself and his music. While

he credits other like-minded Southern artists who flout easy genre labels, Cobb considers

himself on a unique mission to connect with fans who might feel like outsiders in their

communities. “There’s a whole minority of kids in the South that feel like me—that were weird

and alternative in high school,” Cobb explains. “I want them to see that you don’t have to be

country to be from Georgia.” 

Cobb's debut EP, Country Punkin',  features songs co-written and produced by Brent Cobb

and Jaren Johnston of The Cadillac Three. 

Willy Cobb's latest single, Parking Lot Thoughts, continues to showcase his unique blended sound.
