On the heels of a career-defining start to 2026, Forrest Frank is keeping the momentum going with the announcement of a brand-new project, DAWN PATROL -- a collaborative album created alongside close friend and fellow artist/musician Noah Hayden. The project launches today with the release of its first single, "SOS," alongside album pre-order and a dedicated countdown page on Spotify.
Blending Frank's signature lyrics rooted in his faith with a more laid-back, sun-soaked sonic palette, DAWN PATROL marks a creative shift -- one inspired by early mornings in the water, deep conversations, prayer and a shared desire to make something honest and unfiltered.
A second track, "Waste Some Time," will follow on April 3, building toward the full album release on April 8 -- which also coincides with Frank's birthday. CDs will begin shipping release week, with vinyl to follow at a later date.
The new project arrives amid a breakout year already packed with historic milestones. Earlier this month, Frank returned home to Texas to headline the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, performing for more than 70,000 fans at NRG Stadium in a full-circle moment for the Houston-area native. The performance, covered by an on-site one-on-one interview with FOX & Friends, capped a massive weekend that also included a sold-out appearance at the Florida Strawberry Festival, further underscoring the explosive demand for the artist nationwide.
"This was huge, I grew up in Fulshear so [the Rodeo] is like the Super Bowl for our town. Extremely honored to do it and bring glory to the Lord through it," Frank shared following the performance.
Those moments serve as a prelude to what is shaping up to be one of the most significant tours in Christian music history. This summer, Frank will embark on The Jesus Generation Tour -- his largest headline run to date -- already surpassing 500,000 tickets sold across arenas and amphitheaters nationwide.
With billions of global streams and a rapidly expanding fanbase, Frank continues to redefine the boundaries of modern Christian music. His 2025 album CHILD OF GOD II debuted at No. 12 on the Billboard 200 and went on to make history with the most weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. The project's breakout single, "YOUR WAY'S BETTER," earned RIAA Gold certification, became the No. 1 Hot Christian Song of 2025, crossed onto the Billboard Hot 100, and emerged as one of the most searched songs via Google's "hum-to-search" feature.
The momentum carried into awards season, where Frank took home multiple GMA Dove Awards -- including Artist of the Year -- and received two Grammy nominations for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song and Best Contemporary Christian Music Album.
Now, with DAWN PATROL, Frank opens a new chapter -- one that feels both deeply personal and refreshingly unpolished, capturing the spirit of friendship, faith, and creative freedom.
