Multi-platinum selling, GRAMMY Award Nominee, Cory Asbury releases his highly-anticipated fifth studio album, Pioneer, via BEC Recordings.

Drawing influence from Nashville’s music scene, Pioneer explores a new side of Asbury while maintaining honest and cutting lyrics that speak to the fragility of the human experience.

For this record, Asbury co-wrote with a veritable who’s-who in Nashville including Lori McKenna (Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift), Shane Stevens (Lady A, Walker Hayes), Tom Douglas (Kane Brown, Miranda Lambert), and Paul Mabury (Lauren Daigle, Chris Tomlin) to create a body of work that showcases his heart as an artist.

“Pioneer is my most personal record to date,” shared Cory. “Every song comes from a deep place and carries a part of my story, from childhood to today. Vulnerable, honest and from the heart, every song speaks to what it means to be human, the highs, lows and everything in between. I hope this album meets you where you’re at today.”

On September 27^th, Asbury will perform a very special record release show at City National Grove of Anaheim. Following that performance, Asbury will embark on the Texas Takeover Tour with special guest Brennley Brown. The nine-city headline tour will kick off in Houston on November 2^nd and make its way across Texas before wrapping in Kilgore on November 12^th.
