The film premieres at Nashville’s Green Hills
Closing out The Mockingbird & The Crow chapter of his buzzy, genre-bending ascent, Hardy celebrates the acclaimed No. 1 album and its making with a short film entitled Becoming The Crow, available everywhere tonight (Thurs, Jan 11th) at 9 pm ET.
Directed and led by frequent collaborator Justin Clough, the 22-minute short takes fans through two bookend show days from his record-high 2023 – one on January 23rd at his album release double-header in Los Angeles, playing the album across iconic venues The Troubadour and The Roxy in one night; another on October 26th, the first night of his three-night stand of sold-out arena shows at Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium.
The film gets up close and personal with Hardy, filled with interview content that highlights the inspiration behind his lauded, two-faced project and the award-winning entertainer’s unique take on artistry, as well as feature interviews with producers Joey Moi and David Garcia, label head and manager Seth England and manager Troy “Tracker” Johnson, Hardy’s band mates, touring camp, and many more.
Additional Hardy news is coming soon.
Big Loud Records’ heavy-hitter Hardy has never been just one thing. Uncaging his latest chapter last year, Hardy soared to new heights with the release of The Mockingbird & The Crow, his critically acclaimed half-country, half-rock sophomore album, adding to four billion career streams. The dichotomous, 17-track effort debuted in the top five all-genre on the Billboard 200 Albums chart and kinged seven additional charts in its first week, including Top Country Albums, Top Rock Albums, and Top Album Sales. 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. Hardy has written 13 No. 1 singles including his own double-platinum No. 1 single “One Beer” featuring Lauren Alaina + Devin Dawson, chart-topping, platinum Dierks Bentley + Breland collaboration, “Beers On Me,” and the game-changing platinum duet “Wait in the Truck” featuring Lainey Wilson.
