When Did He Know It Was Time for a Debut Album?
For Logan Crosby, the journey to releasing his debut album, 2019, has been a labor of love, born from a deep-seated passion for music and storytelling. Reflecting on when he knew it was time to create a full-length album, Logan shared, “After the EP last year, I knew it was time for a record. I wrote a good many of the songs last summer, about a year ago. And so just kind of started piling them up and then got into the top of this year and wrote a couple more, and then here we are. We got a record.”
This collection of 13 songs is not just an album to Logan; it's a reflection of his journey, his growth as an artist, and his ability to capture the essence of life through music. “These are some of my favorite songs I’ve ever written,” he admitted. The album showcases Logan’s ability to weave personal experiences with universal themes, creating music that feels both intimate and relatable. The anticipation surrounding 2019 is palpable, as fans eagerly await to hear what Logan has been working on over the past year.
The unpredictability of the creative process is something Logan knows all too well. The songs on 2019 are the result of countless hours of writing, rewriting, and perfecting, but it’s often the unexpected moments that produce the most magic. One such moment came with the creation of his latest single, "Polaroid Picture."
The Story Behind "Polaroid Picture"
"Polaroid Picture" wasn’t just another song on the album—it was the final piece of the puzzle. Logan revealed that it was the last song to be added to 2019, and its creation was as spontaneous as it was memorable. “We wrote it on a Thursday and were in the studio that Monday,” Logan recounted. “I could feel that this song was going to be different. On the worktape for the song, you can hear me laughing and just enjoying the process.”
The song itself is a nostalgic ode to the past, capturing the bittersweet emotions that arise when looking at an old photograph. Logan’s Georgia twang adds authenticity to the track, while his nostalgic timbre tells a story of love that once was—a love that felt eternal but, like the photograph, is now just a memory. Logan’s lyrical creativity is on full display in "Polaroid Picture," where he masterfully blends vivid imagery with heartfelt emotion. The song resonates with listeners because it taps into a universal experience—the fleeting nature of time and the memories that linger long after. It’s this ability to connect with his audience on such a deep level that sets Logan apart as a storyteller and cements his status as one to watch in Music City.
His First Headlining Tour: What Fans Can Expect
With his debut album ready to launch, Logan is also preparing to hit the road for his first headlining tour—a milestone that every artist dreams of. Having already sharpened his live performance skills while touring with country stars Megan Moroney and Kameron Marlowe, Logan is eager to step into the spotlight on his own terms. “The fans come first. There’s no question about that. It’s all about the fans,” Logan emphasized when discussing his upcoming 12-stop tour, which has already seen several dates sell out.
For Logan, the tour is more than just a series of concerts; it’s an opportunity to connect with his fans in a way that’s personal and meaningful. “I’m really looking forward to being in front of my own fans,” he said. “There’s something special about playing your own songs for people who’ve been with you from the beginning.”
Logan’s live performances are known for their energy, humor, and authenticity—qualities that have endeared him to fans across the country. His high-octane shows are a mix of new songs from 2019, fan favorites from his previous EP, and perhaps a few surprises along the way. Logan’s tour, aptly named after his debut album, 2019, is already shaping up to be one of the must-see events of the year in country music. His unique blend of nostalgia, authenticity, and raw talent promises a concert experience that fans won’t soon forget. And with a handful of dates already sold out, it’s clear that the demand to see Logan live is higher than ever. But the tour isn’t just about the music; it’s about the connection between Logan and his fans—a connection that has been growing steadily since his first EP release. “I am really looking forward to VIP Meet & Greets and meeting my fans,” he reflected.
