Nashville-based singer-songwriter Ben Rector has revealed his fourth studio album, Brand New, will be released on Aug. 28.
"I can honestly say this is the most excited I've ever been about a record," Rector said in a statement of the forthcoming LP. It will arrive almost exactly two years after his last album, 2013's The Walking in Between.
He has also announced plans to tour this fall in support of the album, with fellow Nashville act Judah and the Lion tapped as the opener.
