Since then, he has been a Sirius XM “Highway Find” wth his song “Cold Beer,” released and had three songs reach #1 on the country music charts; “Sippin’ On Fire” by Florida Georgia Line “Home Alone Tonight” by Luke Bryan featuring Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town and “You Me and Whiskey by Justin Moore and Priscilla Blocl as well as top 20 songs, “Stay Downtown” by Cole Swindell / “Country’d Look Good On You” by Frank Ray & Dylan Scott’s “Nothing To Do Town.”
Cole has been present on country radio as a songwriter since 2015 with at least one song that he has written being in the top 40 at country radio each year. Cole has also had other songs recorded by Jason Aldean, Cole Swindell, Kenny Chesney, Jon Pardi, Jake Owen, Justin Moore, Chase Rice & More.
