When it comes to fan loyalty, few country artists can match Jackson Dean. From sold-out shows to nonstop support on social media, his followers are fiercely devoted, showing up in full force for every release and performance. It’s that level of passion that makes Dean confident in one thing: his fans are a force to be reckoned with.
“My fans are rabid,” he admits. “Like if we went up against another group of fans from somebody else, I’m betting mine all day long because they’re crazy. Properly placed chaos.”
Those loyal fans will have plenty to cheer for with his latest release, “Make A Liar,” out now via Big Machine Records. The song finds Dean playfully hiding his true intentions, pretending to downplay what he wants, only to flip the script and dare the other person to “make a liar” out of him and turn those wishes into reality.
Written alongside frequent collaborator Luke Dick and award-winning songwriter Randy Montana, “Make A Liar” is a bass-driven, blush-inducing song that shows off Dean’s knack for crafting music full of charm and personality.
“‘Make A Liar’ is a cheeky turn of phrase, and the song is a little bundle of stumbling, bumbling fun,” shares Dean. “Seeing the fans’ reaction to this one has been a real treat – I hope they love it!”
Earlier this year, Dean dropped the sultry “Be Your Man,” kicking off an exciting new chapter for the platinum-selling singer-songwriter. The track explores fresh territory both sonically and lyrically, building on the momentum of his September 2024 sophomore album, On The Back Of My Dreams.
As his current single, “Heavens To Betsy,” climbs into the top 15, Dean is crisscrossing the country playing fairs and festivals. On September 13, he’ll headline Taylor Sheridan’s inaugural Bosque Ranch Live concert at the ranch in Weatherford, Texas.
This fall, he’ll also hit select dates supporting Lee Brice on the What You Know About That Tour before taking his headlining On The Back Of My Dreams World Tour Down Under to Australia and New Zealand. Later in the year, Dean will join Brad Paisley on the Truck Still Works World Tour as it rolls through Canada in November and December.
