Sunset Stage Series Check-In: Julia Cole in the Middle of Her Breakout
The Sunset Stage Series follows rising country artists through 2026, from January through December, tracking every milestone as it happens. Julia Cole is one of the most compelling names on this roster, and the first half of 2026 has confirmed everything we believed about her. The Love You To Death album arrived at a moment when country radio and country streaming audiences were ready for something with real emotional weight, and Cole delivered exactly that. Her singles “What Could Go Wrong,” “At My Wedding,” and “Day Late and A Buck Short” pulled fans in from every direction, and the response on the road has matched the energy online. If you are not listening to Julia Cole yet, the second half of 2026 is your entry point.
Love You To Death: What Makes This Album Land
Love You To Death is 14 songs that do not waste a single second. Written alongside Andrew Beason, Cole Miracle, Danielle Blakey, Willie Morrison, Trent Wayne, and Canaan Smith, the record covers heartbreak, big life celebrations, and the kind of truth that only gets written after surviving something. The album opens with the title track, which sets the emotional stakes immediately, and carries that honesty straight through to the final song. Standout moments include “Hunting Boots,” “Gunshy,” and “Heaven On A Sunday,” which show different textures of Cole’s voice and songwriting range. The project is available now on all streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music.
Summer Festivals and What Comes Next
The Love You To Death Tour has already taken Cole through some of the most important stages in country music. She performed at the Carolina Country Music Fest in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on June 6, 2026, and is scheduled for the Cavendish Beach Music Festival in Prince Edward Island on July 11, 2026. These are not small stages. Festival performances like these build the kind of live audience relationship that turns a one-time listener into a lifelong fan, and Cole’s reputation in that room is growing fast.
