A line from the first hit on Thomas Rhett’s latest album could be a fitting assessment of the country artist’s career: “It ain’t a bad life for a good ol’ boy.”
The 36-year-old singer-songwriter, one of the genre’s steadiest hitmakers, has been on a hot streak of 25 No. 1’s that began with his breakout hit, 2013’s “It Goes Like This.”
Rhett, who grew up around country stars like Tim McGraw and Brooks & Dunn, has also made a name as a hit machine for other artists including Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean, Lee Brice, Cole Swindell and Old Dominion.
Recently back from three sold-out nights at London’s Wembley Stadium with Luke Combs, Rhett is resuming “The Soundtrack to Life” tour he kicked off in July. The global tour will bring him to the Schottenstein
Center on Sept. 11.
Tickets range from $49-$702 and can be purchased online.

Rhett comes by his songwriting talent naturally: His father, Rhett Akins, has charted 14 songs on Billboard and written for Brooks & Dunn, Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan, Aldean, Jon Pardi, Billy Currington and – surprise – his son.
Rhett recently collaborated with EDM producer and DJ Marshmello on “Where We Go,” which pairs his country vocals with a poppy, synthesized dance beat.
Earlier this summer, Rhett became one of the youngest artists to receive a star on the Music City Walk of Fame, joining the company of Combs and Miranda Lambert, who were 35 and 31, respectively.
