Made in Hancock County, Kentucky, Ole 60 is not your father's country band. Caught in the crosshairs of indie rock sonics, folk songwriting, and country sensibilities, the six-piece from Hawesville shot to notoriety in 2024 with "smoke & a light," topping Spotify's U.S. Viral Top 50 chart with the on-fire single and the Apple Music Country Albums chart with their debut EP, three twenty four, surpassing genre titans Zach Bryan and Morgan Wallen in the process. In September of last year, they did it again with sophomore EP Songs About You and breakout hit, "Thoughts of You," topping TikTok's all-genre Viral 50 Music chart.
The boys from Kentucky independently released their debut album, Smokestack Town, on October 3.
