Michael Marcagi to Release Debut Solo Album in February

Singer-songwriter Michael Marcagi has announced the release of his highly anticipated debut solo album, entitled Under The Streetlights, set for February 6 via Warner Records. Pre-save HERE.

In celebration, the Ohio-born rising star has shared the single, “Don’t Include Me (American Dream),” an ode to lost love. As Marcagi explains, ‘“Don’t Include Me (American Dream)”’ is a song about trying to move on when it seems impossible. About the feeling of wanting to go back but knowing you can’t change anything. Accepting who you are and moving forward when all things are drawing you back to a person or a place.” Listen to the song below.

Marcagi is also preparing to embark on his biggest EU/UK headline tour yet, kicking off next week, January 20, in Lisbon, Portugal, and wrapping up on February 21 at the prestigious Roundhouse in London. He’ll then return stateside in time to perform at Stagecoach Music Festival in April and join Sam Barber on his  2026 American Route Tour. Click HERE for tickets and information.

“Don’t Include Me (American Dream),” along with the recently released “Unlocks Me,” are Marcagi’s his first new music since last summer’s “Humbling,” a co-write with GRAMMY-winning songwriters Amy Allen (Leon Bridges, Olivia Rodrigo) and Dan Wilson (Chris Stapleton, Taylor Swift).

Last year, he made his Grand Ole Opry debut at OPRY 100 in honor of the institution’s series of centennial celebrations. And that followed the early 2025 release of his Midwest Kid EP, featuring songs like “Wish I Never Met You,” co-written by and featuring Wesley Schultz of The Lumineers, and “Flyover State." He closed out 2025 by joining Jonas Brothers onstage in Jacksonville, Florida, to perform his breakout hit “Scared to Start,” and he enters 2026 with that same song achieving RIAA-certified 2x Platinum status.

“Scared to Start” was Marcagi’s second solo release ever, and it climbed to #5 on Billboard Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, scoring him his national television debut on Late Night with Seth Meyers, and going Gold, Platinum, and multi-Platinum in multiple countries abroad. Fittingly about taking risks and putting it all on the line, the song has racked up more than 1 billion global streams, 2.2 billion TikTok views, 236 million Instagram Reel views, and 24 million YouTube views.
