HARDY’s songwriting resume is, to put it mildly, insane. How insane? Try a mind-blowing 16 No. 1 singles, including his own massive hit, the triple-platinum certified “ONE BEER.” But his influence goes way beyond his own voice. His music has been recorded by heavyweights like Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton, and Jason Aldean, proving his talent connects with the classic country crowd. At the same time, he’s collaborated with modern titans like Morgan Wallen and Jelly Roll, showing a versatility that lets him flow effortlessly between genres and styles.
The excitement around his new deal with Spirit Music isn’t just industry chatter. The deal gives HARDY a home for his future creative work, where he can continue to build on his already impressive body of work. For their part, the Spirit Music team is, understandably, thrilled. As Derek Wells, one of their executives, put it: HARDY is a “1 of 1” talent and human who “elevates every room he’s in.” The admiration is clearly mutual, and HARDY himself made that clear. “I’m pumped to be joining the Spirit Music family,” he shared. “They believe in the songs I write and that means a lot to me. I’m excited to see what we can build together.”
With a new deal, a new album, and a massive tour on the horizon, it’s clear the stars have aligned. HARDY’s new album, COUNTRY! COUNTRY!, is set to drop on September 26, kicking off his JIM BOB World Tour. The future for this “force of nature” looks incredibly bright, and fans are definitely ready for what’s next.
