Rising queer country artist Adam Mac follows the recent release of his viral sensation, “Southern Spectacle,” with his most intimate and heartfelt release yet – brand-new song “Last Rodeo.” The track along with its music video, which shares footage from Mac’s recent marriage to long-time partner Lee Pfund, are available today. “Last Rodeo” is the latest glimpse into his upcoming new album to be released later this year. Listen to the track HERE and watch the video Below.
Written by Mac with Sonia Leigh and Jason Mater as wedding vows for Pfund, “Last Rodeo” is a tender, rootsy love song that captures the joy and peace of lasting partnership. The couple wed last month sharing the news exclusively with Us Weekly today about their intimate sunrise ceremony atop Baby Bell Rock in Sedona, Arizona – a location that holds deep meaning for them.
“We visited Sedona four years ago on an anniversary trip and completely fell in love with the beauty and energy of the place,” Mac told Us Weekly. “When it came time to plan our wedding, it just made sense. We didn’t want anything big – just something deeply personal, just for us.”
The couple hiked to the summit at 4:45 a.m. and exchanged vows as the sun crested the red rock horizon. They each wrote their own vows – and Mac’s were “Last Rodeo.” An epic romantic anthem, the track marries his soaring vocal power to a pronoun-correct soulmates standout.
“I wrote ‘Last Rodeo’ as a way to say everything I knew I’d feel standing across from Lee on our wedding day – no walls, no distractions, just the truth,” Mac shared with Us. “It’s a love song, yes, but it’s also a thank-you – for choosing me, for staying through the storms, and for being my peace.”
After eight years together, Mac and Pfund say they’ve long felt married in spirit, but the current cultural and political climate made it all the more meaningful to make it official.
“With everything going on in the world, we felt like it was the perfect time to stand strong in our love and celebrate it out loud,” Mac told the magazine. “We already felt like life partners – but now it is official.”
The “Last Rodeo” music video, filmed by Ford Fairchild in the same Sedona landscape where Mac and Pfund exchanged vows, is deeply personal and marks the next chapter in Mac’s ever-evolving artistry offering a taste of his forthcoming third studio album. Watch the new video HERE. Additional wedding photos HERE.
Unafraid to sparkle in the spotlight – or speak his truth, Mac continues to capture hearts with his unapologetic Southern flair, raw truth and glitter-soaked twang. Mac also recently released a companion video for his recent release “Southern Spectacle.” Written by Mac with HALLIE, Gigi Rich and Sonia Leigh, the song is a celebration of self-expression in the face of Southern tradition. The video finds the Southern spectacle returning to his hometown of Russellville, KY with his glitter and rhinestone shine on full display. Watch the video HERE and listen HERE.
Reflecting on social media this week Mac shared, “I can’t help but to be so inspired and proud of my little hometown Russellville, Ky. it was truly a soul fulfilling day being back home in all my glamour and glory and being embraced by the town I felt like I was hiding in my whole life.”
Mac has been pushing the boundaries of country music from the beginning. Rooted in the gospel and '90s country sounds of his youth, he has carved a space all his own with a fresh fusion of southern soul, disco flair, and fearless storytelling. “Southern Spectacle” builds on that sound – a high-octane declaration of authenticity that celebrates queer joy and personal freedom in the face of tradition.
These two new tracks follow the success of Mac’s previous release “Dust Off Your Boots,” which sparked a nationwide line dancing trend and held the No. 1 spot on CMT’s 12 Pack Countdown for six consecutive weeks. Before that, his breakout anthem “Disco Cowboy” reigned at No. 1 for four weeks and premiered exclusively on CMT.
As a visible queer voice in country music today, Mac’s journey has not been without challenges. When he was scheduled to headline the Logan County Tobacco and Heritage Festival in his conservative hometown, backlash from local pastors sparked national headlines. His strength in the face of hate drew support from fans, hometown friends and celebrities alike – including Maren Morris, Kelsea Ballerini and Brandy Clark – and led to a guest appearance on Morris’ Lunatics Tour in Chicago.
With his magnetic presence and rich storytelling, Mac continues to carve out space for queer voices in the country format showing that there’s room for every kind of story. For the latest news and updates follow along on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook @adammacmusic and online at adammacmusic.com.

About Adam Mac:
Adam Mac is like no one else you know. A true Southern Spectacle and one of queer country’s leading voices, the inspiring singer-songwriter is brave enough to truly be himself – and help others do the same. Raised in Russellville, Kentucky, Mac grew up a farm-and-church kid loving The Spice Girls and Shania Twain, who’s non-stop singing soon moved from the bedroom to Sunday services and talent shows. By 22 he had moved to Nashville to write songs he thought the mainstream would accept, but by his own admission, nearly 10 years of struggle led nowhere – until he realized he was doing “three chords and the truth” all wrong. Fusing vocal soul with a danceable country-funk mix (and the full fabulousness of his personality), 2023’s breakout hit “Disco Cowboy” set Mac free. The rapturous music video held the #1 spot on CMT’s 12-Pack Countdown for four weeks, leading to a full album of the same name and a pandora’s box of conversations. After protestors forced Mac to cancel a hometown performance, waves of supporters joined his cause, including Kelsey Ballerini and Maren Morris, who invited Mac to open her Lunatic Tour in Chicago. The national media also took notice, with Mac’s music hailed by Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, Out, GLAAD, and PEOPLE, calling Mac “country music’s very own Elton John.” Louder and prouder than ever, and with a true community in his corner, Mac finally embraces his own story, contrasts and quirks included. His work might invite the scorn of a few but also gives his fellow Southern Spectacles
