In 2018, he co-produced Kacey Musgraves' critically acclaimed album Golden Hour in addition to co-writing 7 of the album's 13 songs, including "Slow Burn", "Happy and Sad", "Love is a Wild Thing", and the album's title track, "Golden Hour".[4] Tashian received two Grammys,[5] one ACM award,[6] and one CMA award[7] for his work on the album.

Other notable songwriting credits include his first number one song, "Hometown Girl" by Josh Turner,[10] "White Horse" by Tenille Townes,[11] "Good Night" by Billy Currington,[12] and "The Bees" by Lee Ann Womack.[13] He has also had several sync placements in hit TV shows like Pretty Little Liars, Nashville, Reign, and Scorpion (as well as the film Our Idiot Brother).[14] His band, the Silver Seas, also had a song featured on the TV series Breaking Bad.
In 2019, Tashian released I Love Rainy Days, a children's album for which he wrote and produced all the music and painted all associated artwork,[15] following in 2020 with Mr. Moonlight, another children's album.[16] In July 2020, Tashian collaborated with Burt Bacharach on the EP Blue Umbrella.
