HARDY Announces New EP "COUNTRY!"

HARDY will release his new EP, COUNTRY!, on May 2nd, with two singles, “Favorite Country Song” and “Buck On The Wall,” available tonight at midnight. These tracks mark his first new music of 2025 and can be pre-saved now.

HARDY, born Michael Wilson Hardy in Philadelphia, Mississippi, started out writing songs in Nashville for artists like Morgan Wallen and Florida Georgia Line. He stepped into the spotlight with his own music, mixing country and rock sounds, starting with his 2020 album A ROCK. His 2023 release, the mockingbird & THE CROW, took things further, landing high on the charts and showing off his unique style. Along the way, he’s picked up awards from the ACM and CMA, and he’s known for hits like “ONE BEER” and “wait in the truck” with Lainey Wilson. Most recently, his 2024 LP QUIT! marked a sharp 180 from his country roots, which makes COUNTRY! especially interesting

The EP will precede his upcoming “JIM BOB” world tour, starting next month. The tour marks HARDY’s biggest to date, and will span the entire continental US, as Support acts include Koe Wetzel, Stephen Wilson Jr., Sikarus, and McCoy Moore on select dates. Full tour details are available at hardyofficial.com/tour.
