“This One’s For the OG’s”: Gavin Adcock Brings Beer, Pyro, and Brent Cobb to Nashville’s The Pinnacle

There are concerts, and then there are cultural moments.

Gavin Adcock’s sold-out Friday night show at Nashville’s The Pinnacle was the latter. A wild blend of pyro, beer, Southern grit, and human storytelling, the show felt less of a performance and more of a movement.

Before he even stepped out, the crowd screamed every word to Toby Keith’s ‘Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue’, which seamlessly flipped to Sexyy Red’s ‘Looking for the Hoes’, a transition that somehow whipped up proud Americans and party animals in the same breath.

As the smoke rolled across the stage and his intro thundered through the speakers, Adcock emerged to a frenzy already in full swing. Once Adcock hit the stage, it was his world, and everyone else was just lucky to be in it. Cups were already flying in the air and it was clear no one was going to hold back, especially him.

He’s the guy who straps a full case of Miller Lite to a smoke machine. The same guy delivers heartfelt monologues about struggle and survival. He’s the guy who writes a song called “Sober,” about getting drunk, and turns it into a stadium chant. Adcock doesn’t just play a show, he builds a world under one roof. It’s chaotic, loud, unfiltered, yet somehow still emotional.

“We played Exit/In once,” he told the crowd between songs. “Now we’re doing two sold out nights at the Pinnacle.” That shoutout to his Nashville beginnings hit hard, especially for longtime fans who’ve been with him since the early days. He made sure to remind them:

“This one’s for the OGs.”

But make no mistake; this wasn’t nostalgia, it was a celebration. As the smoke machines blasted, cups flew and beer showered overhead, fans were belting every single lyric. At one point, Adcock grabbed someone’s hat from the pit, signed it, and tossed it back all while he was being pelted by cups, cans, and even bras on stage. He looked completely unbothered and if anything, fed off of it. At the height of the night, he brought out Brent Cobb, sending both shockwaves and a new layer of soul through the crowd and to the evening, creating a perfect pairing of grit and substance.

“Music’s the one thing that stayed with me,” Adcock shares about his past struggles before slowing things down. “I wrote this one for people who’ve been through some shit.” And just like that, the mood shifted to a tone that was about truth, shared pain, and the kind of connection that makes fans feel like family.

Gavin Adcock doesn’t perform like he’s trying to prove something, he performs like it’s all he’s ever known. Whether he's throwing back beer or throwing out confessions, amidst the chaos there’s an unexpected sense of unison where the crowd somehow becomes one.

Whether you were at The Pinnacle this weekend or another Adcock show, you didn’t just witness a concert, you witnessed a full on Southern revival.
