Country music powerhouse HARDY has released a brand-new song, “Bro Country”, featuring longtime collaborator and friend ERNEST. The track arrives ahead of HARDY’s highly anticipated new album, COUNTRY! COUNTRY!, set for release September 26 via Big Loud Records.
The record marks HARDY’s return to country after last year’s rock-driven Quit!!, which drew critical acclaim and showcased his versatility. With COUNTRY! COUNTRY!, HARDY leans back into his Mississippi roots while reflecting on the evolution of the genre, blending personal storytelling with sharp observations. Previously released tracks “Bottomland” and “Favorite Country Song” (currently climbing at country radio) give fans a taste of the album’s breadth.
In support of the album, HARDY continues his JIM BOB World Tour, which will feature festival stops, headline dates, and his first-ever performance at Madison Square Garden the week of the album’s release. Koe Wetzel, Stephen Wilson Jr., and Sikarus will join as special guests on select dates.
HARDY’s career momentum shows no signs of slowing: he’s a five-time ACM Award winner, two-time CMA Award winner, and 2022 BMI Country Songwriter of the Year. With 16 #1 songs, over 6 billion streams, and collaborations ranging from Morgan Wallen to Metallica’s James Hetfield, HARDY has proven himself as one of Nashville’s most innovative and fearless voices.
