JOINED ZACH TOP FOR RYMAN AUDITORIUM TOUR STOP LAST FRIDAY (2/28); SENDS “MAJOR SIGNAL THAT TRADITIONAL COUNTRY SOUNDS ARE MAKING A COMEBACK” (BILLBOARD)
“WORTHINGTON’S ABILITY TO MATCH THE IMPACT OF THE TIMELESS ICONOGRAPHY OF THE ARTISTS AND MOMENTS HE CALLS UPON IN HIS ART IS GROWING IN RENOWN.” – THE TENNESSEAN
NASHVILLE, TENN. – Big Loud Texas country traditionalist Jake Worthington brought his signature twang to Music City on Friday, Feb. 28 with a rollicking opening set at Ryman Auditorium where he announced his forthcoming song “I’m The One (feat. Marty Stuart)” set for release on March 14.
The song co-written with Stuart and Jenna LaMaster and featuring the legendary hall-of-famer Stuart on guitar shines as the first release since Worthington’s down-on-your-luck duet “Hello Shitty Day” with superstar Miranda Lambert. With more new music on the horizon, “I’m The One” proves why Worthington is “infinitely valued as a fundamental part of the neotraditional movement afoot again in country music” (The Tennessean).
In addition to Worthington’s set at the Mother Church which included favorites from his self-titled debut album of “gorgeous beer-joint purism” (Texas Monthly) like “Next New Thing,” “Night Time Is My Time,” and waltzing “State You Left Me In,” the La Porte, Texas native also popped up last Friday at Lucchese, the sought-after western wear brand and bootmaker, in the Gulch for an acoustic set.
Worthington will continue to tour supporting Zach Top and Riley Green throughout the spring. For tour dates, please visit jakeworthington.com.
ABOUT JAKE WORTHINGTON
For Big Loud Texas traditionalist Jake Worthington, country music is in his DNA. The La Porte, Texas native was raised on his grandfather’s porch performances of Ray Price, Merle Haggard, and George Jones, and soon picked up his own Gibson acoustic to realize the breadth of his soon-to-be-classic, wide, and wild voice. Now, Worthington breathes fresh life into dance halls, beer joints, and ballrooms from Texas to Tennessee with his 13-song, self-penned debut, Jake Worthington, recent Miranda Lambert collaboration “Hello Shitty Day,” and forthcoming “I’m The One (feat. Marty Stuart).” Captivating the masses with his honky-tonk stylings, the singer-songwriter has brought two-step anthems to venues across the country, opening for Lambert, Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson, Riley Green, Pat Green, Hank Williams Jr., ERNEST, Ian Munsick, and more. Worthington is also a sought-after duet partner across the Nashville landscape, including guest spots on Brooks and Dunn’s Reboot II on “I’ll Never Forgive My Heart,” HIXTAPE: Vol. 3: DIFFTAPE with Reba McEntire on “Is It Cold In Here,” ERNEST’s 2023 extension FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM): Two Dozen Roses on “Heartache In My 100 Proof,” and more. “I believe in country music as much as I believe in my next breath,” Worthington declares, and “blame it on my raising, but I think there ought to be room for country in country music.”
