From the coastal stretches of South Carolina comes a sound both intimate and expansive—one carried not by spectacle per se, but by sincerity. Admiral Radio, the husband-and-wife duo of Coty Hoover and Becca Smith, has built their name on the quiet power of connection, and with their latest single “Jackpot,” they take a confident step into a new chapter with Too Fine Records.
Released May 1, 2026, “Jackpot” arrives as the lead offering from their forthcoming full-length effort, a tune steeped in optimism and grounded in the realities of modern life. Built upon fingerpicked acoustic guitar, steady rhythms, and harmonies that feel as natural as conversation, the song captures the fleeting magic of choosing joy—even when certainty feels just out of reach. It is, at its heart, a ride-or-die love song, one that favors gratitude over doubt and presence over hesitation.
Sonically aligned with the likes of Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors and Watchhouse, Admiral Radio’s approach remains refreshingly unforced. Their music carries the open-road spirit of Americana while maintaining the closeness of a fireside performance. It is a balance they have honed through years of touring—meeting audiences face-to-face and leaving behind songs that linger long after the final note fades.
That connection will be on full display throughout their 2026 tour schedule, which finds the duo traversing the country from Alabama to Washington, bringing their joy and perspective to stages both large and small. Among these stops, one date holds particular resonance: Sunday, June 7th at Tim’s Tavern in Seattle, Washington. Presented in collaboration with Together in Music, the performance promises an evening of closeness and community—an ideal setting for a band whose strength lies in the space between performer and listener.
