Austin Tolliver is set to release his debut full-length album, Ride 4 Me, on April 22 via Average Joes Entertainment.
The 12-track collection explores the range of emotions Tolliver has trekked through over the past year and taps into his wide-ranging influences from Tupac and Nelly to George Strait and Tim McGraw.
“With this album, I hope people take the journey into my mindset through each and every song,” shares Tolliver. “The entire body of work tells a story from a progressional standpoint of each mood I have been in for the last year. It’s a deep dive into the fun side of me, the dark side of me, the painful side of me, and the kick ass side of me. I feel that it is important to allow my fans to see all my emotions and this project does that.”
Tolliver eyed a career as a professional athlete early on, and the Louisiana native was headed towards that goal as he started playing football at New Mexico State University. His path changed, though, when he moved to Nashville and fell in love with music.
Average Joes Entertainment signed Tolliver and released his debut single, “Tip My Hat,” in late 2020. He enjoyed success with subsequent 2021 singles “Yodelay You Down” and title track “Ride 4 Me.”
