Grammy-nominated rock band Daughtry has signed with Big Machine Records and will release their first single for the label, “Artificial,” on Aug. 11.

“Chris Daughtry is one of the best voices in rock music, hands down,” says Big Machine Label Group Chairman and CEO Scott Borchetta. “He is attacking this season of life full-on with a renewed fire and intensity to everything he touches.”

“I am so thrilled to be working with Scott and the entire Big Machine crew on this next record and beyond,” shares the band’s frontman and namesake, Chris Daughtry. “It’s very refreshing and exciting to have a team behind me that fully believes and supports my vision.”

The news follows the band’s announcement of their “Bare Bones Tour,” a rare acoustic run with 26 new dates across the country launching tomorrow (Aug. 9). Chart-topping rocker Ayron Jones is set to open on select stops of the tour, which marks a unique opportunity to see the rockers in the most intimate of settings in cities such as Detroit, Atlantic City, Spokane, Tucson, Austin and more through Sept. 27.

Coming in hot off the recent success with their Lzzy Hale duet, “Separate Ways (World’s Apart),” Daughtry’s amped-up reimagining of the Journey classic debuted at No. 1 on iTunes’ All Genres chart and reached No. 6 on Mediabase’s Active Rock chart. True to its roots with an updated grit, the single has racked up millions of streams across platforms, earning praise from Variety, Billboard, Consequence and others.

Daughtry’s self-titled debut album was the top-selling album of 2007 and the fastest-selling rock debut album in Soundscan history. It was also nominated for four Grammys and won four American Music Awards and seven Billboard Music Awards, including Album of the Year. Subsequent albums, Leave This Town (2009), Break The Spell (2011), and Baptized (2013) have all gone Platinum, with Cage To Rattle (2018) certified Gold. In 2021, Daughtry released the album Dearly Beloved, which marked a return to their rock roots and a return to the top of the rock charts with their singles “World On Fire,” “Heavy Is The Crown” and “Changes Are Coming,” each reaching the Top 10 on Billboard‘s Rock Airplay chart.
