Philadelphia, Mississippi, by way of Nashville superstar HARDY released a new song, “Bro Country,” with longtime friend, collaborator, and labelmate ERNEST; listen here.HARDY’s new album COUNTRY! COUNTRY! is set for release September 26 via Big Loud. Get it here.“There’s a whole new crew in Nashville that’s bringing a whole new different sound and this song is simply an observation of that,” says HARDY. “I hope you all enjoy ‘Bro Country.’”“HARDY is such a clever writer—one of the best to ever do it,” says ERNEST. “It’s been fun growing with him since our days of writing with Florida Georgia Line and many others. I am very thankful for them, the summers we all had together and the opportunities that got us here. I think this is a cool song that shows the ever-changing nature of music, and I’m glad I got to sing on it with HARDY.”“Bro Country” follows the previously released “Bottomland” and HARDY’s recent EP COUNTRY!. Standout track “Favorite Country Song” is surging at country radio, watch HARDY play it on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” here.HARDY is back on the JIM BOB World Tour for a slew of festivals and headline dates, culminating with his first ever headline show at Madison Square Garden the week of COUNTRY! COUNTRY! release. Koe Wetzel, Stephen Wilson Jr. and Sikarus join as support on select dates. See below for full tour routing and visit hardyofficial.com/tour for more information.COUNTRY! COUNTRY! was written in the wake of HARDY’s much-lauded rock album Quit!!, released last year to widespread critical acclaim. While he loved the thrash of jumping headfirst into the rock world, he missed his community: the peers he wrote #1 country radio hits and put together the HIXTAPE series with. After a step away, he felt refreshed.He dove back into country and COUNTRY! COUNTRY! is the result. The album takes its name literally, ranging from celebrations of his youth in the Mississippi mud—“Bottomland” being named for a specific camo pattern HARDY favors for hunting—to commentary on the state of country music at large. In sum, it’s a celebration of what makes HARDY HARDY.The new album continues a monumental run for HARDY, who made his first ever appearance at the Grand Ole Opry earlier this year with Metallica’s James Hetfield in the audience and smashed through the first leg of his JIM BOB World Tour. In 2024 he released his #1 LP Quit!!; toured North America, including his first stadium show, a headline set at CMA Fest and many more; collaborated with heroes Fred Durst and Chad Smith; appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live!;” hit 16 #1 songs; blew past 6 billion career streams and so much more.The pride of Philadelphia, Mississippi has earned his reputation as “a promising purveyor of keeping the spirit of classic heavy Southern rock alive” (American Songwriter), “capable of writing the big hits for radio, obstinate enough to do something completely unexpected, and savvy enough to find the throughline for it all” (Rolling Stone). A five-time ACM award winner and two-time CMA award winner, HARDY has also won three CMA Triple Play awards, was named the 2022 BMI Country Songwriter of the Year and is a three-time AIMP Songwriter of the Year. He’s collaborated and shared stages with Thomas Rhett, Morgan Wallen, Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean, Cole Swindell and more.HARDY—COUNTRY! COUNTRY!1. Country Country2. Favorite Country Song3.
