Cale Dodds

Cale Dodds is a Georgia native, who moved to Nashville,TN in 2011 and wasted no time hitting the road, touring alongside acts like Sam Hunt, Brett Eldredge, Billy Currington, and Chase Rice. His live show is where his rock ‘n’ roll spirit meets country soul—an electric mix that sets him apart.

Before signing with Warner Music Nashville, Dodds earned fans the hard way: face-to-face and city-by-city. His grassroots hustle paid off, racking up over 30 million digital streams independently. The industry quickly took notice—Rolling Stone dubbed him one of their “New Country Artists You Need to Know,” while CMT Listen Up and Pandora highlighted him as an emerging artist to watch. Billboard also praised his CMA Fest set as “one of the best shows to see.”

As a songwriter, Dodds made an early mark with the Top 20 single “(This Ain’t No) Drunk Dial” by A Thousand Horses. He later co-wrote the two-week No. 1 hit “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.” by Chase Rice featuring Florida Georgia Line. His songs have also landed in national commercials for Chevy and RAM Trucks, as well as on ESPN, CBS, and the Madden NFL video game series.
With additional cuts from artists like Chris Young, Scotty McCreery, Canaan Smith, Cassadee Pope, and Lit, Dodds continues to be a trusted voice in the writing room. Now signed to Spirit–Fluid Music, he's entering a new chapter—releasing fresh music every 6–8 weeks and proving that his best is still to come.
