ADAM DOLEAC: DROPS NEW SONG “KEY TO THE CITY”
AUDIO WORK PARTS TO SUPPORT LATEST RELEASE, “KEY TO THE CITY” (AUDIO)1
ADAM DOLEAC: What’s up y’all? It’s Adam Doleac and the inspiration behind “Key To The City” is actually pretty simple. ESPN called and said they were looking for a new song for the College World Series. A couple of the guys looking for the song and heard some of my other music. I think they loved “Famous.” Then they found out that I actually played in the College World Series back in my college days. So they reached out and asked me to write one obviously I was super excited to do so. The only thing they told me was something that reminded me of walking into Omaha Rosenblatt Stadium, opening ceremonies, to really capture that excitement. The thrill of that night. It’s a memory that really sticks out to me so it wasn’t that hard to do. And, I think we did a key to the city is what we came up with. I hope it makes you feel excited. It gets you that that rush that want to leave the house, go to a game, your favorite sports moment, go to a bar, whatever it is, it gets me hyped. It’s definitely the most hype song and I’ve put out I can’t wait to play it on the road this summer. And hope you guys love it too.
Arista Nashville rising star Adam Doleac dropped new song “Key to the City” today. The song will be used for programming and promotion for ESPN’s coverage of the 2021 NCAA Men’s College World Series. Listen here.
“Key to the City” was penned by Doleac, Casey Brown and Jesse Lee Levin in 2019 for the College World Series that year (watch clip here).
Doleac played college baseball at Southern Miss, which is where he also wrote songs with his teammates and taught himself to play guitar. The baseball player turned singer-songwriter competed with his team in the 2009 College World Series.
“Getting the opportunity to write ‘Key to the City’ for ESPN and the College World Series was so fun,” said Doleac. “As a former college baseball player, and one that got to play in the CWS myself, this was such a cool baseball/music moment for me. This song embodies the energy I felt walking into the stadium, and it’s the same kind of energy I feel walking on stage every night.”
Tune in to ESPN beginning Saturday, June 19 to catch the 2021 College World Series and to hear “Key to the City” throughout the telecasts.
With more than 165 million cumulative streams across his catalog to date, Doleac continues to share new music and content with fans this year. Inspired by his critically acclaimed song “Whiskey’s Fine,” Doleac launched his “Come On In, The Whiskey’s Fine” series this spring, where he sits down with some of his favorite artists in an airstream trailer for a chat over whiskey cocktails. So far, the series has featured labelmates Niko Moon, Matt Stell, and Mitchell Tenpenny. The next episode arrives Tuesday, June 15.
Doleac will be hitting the road this summer and fall for long-awaited shows across the country, including appearances on select dates of Zac Brown Band’s The Comeback Tour.

About Adam Doleac:Hattiesburg, Mississippi native Adam Doleac released his Famous EP on April 17, 2020, which has amassed over 165 million on-demand streams to date. The project chronicles Doleac’s time in Nashville and rise to success, featuring the Gold-certified title-track, SiriusXM The Highway’s Top Five “Whiskey’s Fine,” autobiographical favorite “Mom and Daddy’s Money,” new song “I Choose Lonely,” among other “classics-in-the-making” (Hollywood Life). The Rolling Stone Country “Artist to Watch” became impassioned with music in college, after receiving a scholarship to the University of Southern Mississippi where he not only played baseball but wrote songs with his teammates and learned to play guitar. After he began playing hometown gigs, Doleac posted a performance of one of his songs on YouTube. The visual accrued millions of views and caught the attention of Sony/ATV Music Publishing. A co-writer of songs recorded by stars such as Kane Brown, Gabby Barrett, Darius Rucker, and Hootie and the Blowfish, Doleac has staked his claim as one to watch in Nashville. Dubbed “the hero country needs” by Popdust , he has toured with Carrie Underwood, Chris Young and Kane Brown, among others. Doleac’s music has been described by Rolling Stone as “anchored not only in the trends of Top 40 radio, but also the blue-collar grit of Bob Seger and the bluesy influence of his Mississippi hometown.”
