The country and rock star will make his first Grand Ole Opry appearance on April 29th
Country rock superstar Hardy’s next round is in the chamber with a new EP, Country!, set for release on May 2nd via Big Loud. Two new songs from the EP, his first new music of 2025, debut at midnight — “Favorite Country Song” and “Buck On The Wall.”
“Two new songs—I’m extremely excited,” says Hardy. “Both songs remind me of a very special place, the place where I grew up, the place where I became who I am—my deer camp. It’s now the only place I have to go home to since somebody lives in my childhood home. I feel like it’s been a long time coming to put out some music that gets back to my roots.”
Additionally, Hardy will make his first ever appearance on the iconic Grand Ole Opry stage on April 29th.
The new tracks come ahead of the kickoff of Hardy’s massive Jim Bob World Tour next month, with headline dates across the U.S. through September, plus festival dates in North America, and festivals and first-ever headline shows in Europe. The tour includes stops at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena, Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, New York City’s Madison Square Garden and many more. Longtime friends and collaborators Koe Wetzel, Stephen Wilson Jr., Sikarus and McCoy Moore will join as support on select dates.
The new EP and tour continue a monumental run for Hardy. In 2024, he released his No. 1 LP Quit!!; toured across North America—including his first stadium show, a headline set at CMA Fest and many more; collaborated with heroes Fred Durst and Chad Smith; hit 16 No. 1 songs; blew past six billion career streams and so much more. This year has seen the release of his first ever live album, Hardy (Live From Red Rocks), and Hardy (Amazon Music Songline) featuring reimaginings of his hits and a cover of The 1975.
