Rising country star Jackson Dean just wrapped up a whirlwind week filled with career milestones and personal achievements. Over the weekend, Dean received an incredible surprise from his tourmate, GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Lainey Wilson. During a show in Lubbock, TX, Wilson presented Dean with RIAA Platinum certification for his first No. 1 single, “Don’t Come Lookin’,” and Gold certification for his sophomore single, “Fearless.” Wilson also named Dean her very first "Cowboy of the Night" in a special moment shared with fans (watch the moment here).
Adding to the excitement, Jackson Dean knocked off a major bucket list item by making his debut at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado on Saturday night. He celebrated his Platinum and Gold milestones with his industry team and country radio, all while marking the one-month anniversary of his critically acclaimed album On The Back of My Dreams and his 24th birthday.
Since its release on September 6, On The Back of My Dreams has captivated listeners and critics alike, being praised as a “soul-stirring journey” by Music Row. The 13-track concept album delves into life, mortality, and freedom, with standout tracks like "Heavens To Betsy" already amassing over 25 million streams.
