New Track Follows Current Single “Bury Me In This Bar”
Joins Sam Hunt on the Locked Up Tour This Fall Following Festival Performances this Summer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 28, 2024) – In a world that frequently romanticizes new beginnings and far-off destinations, Dalton Dover, an Aragon, Georgia native and current resident, releases an anthem celebrating the powerful bond between an individual and their hometown with “Here’s The Deal,” available now via Mercury Nashville.
“When I first heard ‘Here’s The Deal,’ I immediately knew I wanted to cut it. It’s the perfect song to pay tribute to the place where my journey began and a place that will always be a part of my story,” shares Dover. “Growing up in Aragon and still living there is such a big part of my identity, along with the people there who make it special. This song is for them, but it’s also for anyone who appreciates where they’re from.”
Written by Michael Hardy, Chase McGill and Matt Dragstrem and produced by Matthew McVaney (McV), “Here’s The Deal” serves as a heartfelt reminder of the significance of home:
Your bags are packed
You’re saying baby
Just come with me
Quit being crazy
Wanna see the world
Wanna be in places where there ain’t no stars or familiar faces
But that ain’t me
Hear me out
I’ll put a ring on your finger right now but
Here’s the deal
These fields of gold run through my veins
Like a river rolls
Everything I know, everything I am
Comes from this dirt, girl, and I’ll be damned
If I leave it all in my rearview
I’ll be letting down my daddy and his daddy too
I know you wanna house on a hill and I’m building it now
But girl settling down now
Here’s the deal
“Here’s The Deal” follows Dover’s current single “Bury Me In This Bar,” written by Dover with Dan Isbell, Jamie Davis and Benjy Davis, which earned MusicRow’s DISClaimer Disc of the Day, praising, “Dover continues his winning ways with this romping, stomping honky tonker with flourishes of steel and galloping rhythm. Thirsty for real country music? Belly up to this bar. You need the song on your playlist, now more than ever.”
Filmed at The Nashville Palace, the official music video for “Bury Me In This Bar” premiered with CMT, CMT Music and Paramount Times Square Billboard. Watch the video HERE.
Following his third year performing at CMA Fest, Dover will perform at additional festivals this summer before heading out on Sam Hunt’s Locked Up Tour this fall. For tickets and additional information, visit DaltonDoverOfficial.com.

About Dalton Dover
Lauded by MusicRow as a “master country talent,” Dalton Dover’s new single “Bury Me In This Bar” is available now via UMG Nashville/Mercury Records, along with his latest release “Here’s The Deal.” His debut radio single “Giving Up On That” was the most-added track at Country Radio upon its debut with 60 first-week adds and can be found on his EP Never Giving Up On That. Named a 2024 Tidal Artist to Watch, Pandora 2023 Artist to Watch, an Amazon Music 2023 Breakthrough Artist to Watch: Country Class and a member of CMT’s LISTEN UP 2023 Class, he will support Sam Hunt on the Locked Up Tour later this fall. Dover made his Grand Ole Opry debut in December 2022, followed by his international debut in 2023 at C2C: Country to Country Festival’s CMA Songwriters Series and has performed across multiple stages at CMA Fest, including the Nissan Stadium Platform stage. In addition to playing Luke Combs’ Whiskey Jam Bootleggers Tailgate Party, he’s supported Chase Rice, Parker McCollum, Larry Fleet, Priscilla Block and more. By the age of 16, Dover picked up a guitar and started teaching himself to play, yet it was his grandfather who turned him on to country music and artists such as Keith Whitley, Rhett Akins, Joe Diffie and Steve Wariner. Performances at local bars soon followed along with sharing covers of some of his favorite songs on TikTok. It was there he caught the ear of producer Matt McV and A&R veteran and founder of Droptine, Jim Catino, who quickly signed Dover. His debut track “You Got a Small Town,” produced by McV, garnered critical acclaim from Billboard, MusicRow, Country Now and Wide Open Country. With his debut and follow-up “Baby I Am” earning notable playlisting, Dover was named a Spotify Hot Country 2022 Artist to Watch along with a spotlight as Billboard’s February Country Rookie of the Month and a nod for MusicRow’s 2022 Discovery Artist of the Year.
