BRIAN KELLEY ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM CORAL BEATSDUE OUT AUGUST 14

NASHVILLE, TENN. (August 3, 2026) – Today, DIAMOND-selling superstar Brian Kelley announces his new album Coral Beats, arriving in just over a week. Due out August 14 via his own Nashville South Records, the Beach Cowboy’s latest full-length pushes his signature brand of Coastal Country into bold new territory, blending tropical-inspired grooves and infectious melodies into a feel-good sound entirely his own. Go here to pre-order/pre-save Coral Beats now.

Featuring collaborations with ERNEST, Niko Moon, Wheeland Brothers, and CHXNDLER, Coral Beats cements a thrilling new era in Kelley’s artistry, transforming the album’s beachside backdrop into a blueprint for living life on your own terms and finding lasting joy in an increasingly chaotic world. With songwriting credits on all but one track, the Florida-born musician embraces summer as an essential state of being — inviting listeners to slow down, reconnect with what matters most, and discover their own version of sun-drenched paradise.

Mainly produced by Kelley’s frequent collaborator Katlin Owen, Coral Beats includes previously released tracks like “B-Y-O-Beach” (a euphoric but soulful summer anthem that marked his first-ever collaboration with chart-topping hitmaker Niko Moon). In a particularly meaningful moment for Kelley, the album also features the first song co-written with his wife, Brittney Kelley: the irresistibly catchy “Jimmy Buffett Summer” a big-hearted homage to the Mayor of Margaritaville, released just before Fourth of July. A ten-song escape into tropical bliss, Coral Beats closes out with “Jimmy Buffett Summer – Remix” and its beat-driven rendition of the fan-favorite tribute (produced by Caleb Gilbreath). See below for the full tracklist to Coral Beats.
One of Country’s most beloved ambassadors of the endless-summer lifestyle, Kelley recently concluded another successful round of his SURF POST SESSIONS — a massively popular concert series hosted in the backyard of the Tribe Kelley Surf Post in Grayton Beach, FL (owned by Brian and Brittney). After kicking off summer 2026 with a run of shows last month, the SURF POST SESSIONS continued with back-to-back headline spots from Kelley last Friday and Saturday (7/31 and 8/1). Since launching in 2022, the in-demand series has hosted more than 75 SOLD-OUT performances.The follow-up to 2025’s Sunshine State of Mind Season Two, Chapter One, Coral Beats continues down the creative path Kelley first charted with 2021’s Sunshine State of Mind Season One while opening an exciting new lane for his sound. With his previous solo LPs also including 2024’s Tennessee Truth and Ed & Mary Margaret’s Son, the new album reveals an artist committed to constant evolution without ever losing sight of his Coastal Country roots.
