Colt Ford in Athens

Colt Ford is an American country-rap artist from Georgia whose music pairs country songwriting and Southern rock instrumentation with rapped verses. He is known for the album Ride Through the Country, the song “Drivin’ Around Song” and “Dirt Road Anthem,” which he co-wrote with Brantley Gilbert before Jason Aldean recorded his version. The Declaration of Independence Tour took Colt Ford through U.S. clubs and theatres following the release of the album of the same name. He has also brought his full-band show to country festivals, including Country Thunder Arizona and the CMA Music Festival in Nashville.
