HARDY Announces Quit!! Tour, Reveals ‘Becoming the Crow’ Short Film
The trek will feature openers including Kip Moore and Ella Langley.
HARDY
Singer-songwriter HARDY is turning what could have been a discouraging early career moment into not only the title of his new spoken-word track, “Quit!!,” but also the namesake of his newly announced tour, which launches in May.
The 15-date trek will begin May 30 in Rogers, Ark., and will wrap July 27 in Tinley Park, Ill. Opening for HARDY are Kip Moore, Travis Denning, Ella Langley and Stephen Wilson Jr.
In accepting his ACM songwriter of the year honor in 2022, HARDY used his acceptance speech as vindication, recalling a singer-songwriter show from his early days in Nashville, when someone slipped a napkin into his tip jar. On it was written a simple message: “Quit!”
HARDY used that discouragement as fuel, and in “Quit!!,” lays out his journey from struggling Nashville newcomer to writing hit songs for Florida Georgia Line and Morgan Wallen, then coming into his own as an artist and forging new paths with his country-rock hybrid project The Mockingbird & The Crow, which has cemented his current status as a multi-genre hitmaker, thanks to rock chart hits “Jack” and “Sold Out.”
“Thank you for inspiring me to be great,” HARDY said in a statement. “I guess sometimes holding a grudge is a good thing.”
While “Quit!!” details HARDY’s journey, he offered fans a deeper glimpse into this current state with the release of the 22-minute short film Becoming The Crow which released Jan. 11. The Justin Clough-directed project highlighted two 2023 nights — one on Jan. 23 as he played a double-header at The Troubadour and The Roxy, while on Oct. 26, he launched the first night of a three-night stand at Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium. The film features not only HARDY, but producers Joey Moi and David Garcia, label head and manager Seth England and manager Troy “Tracker” Johnson, HARDY’s band mates, touring camp, and others.
Tickets for the Quit!! tour go on sale Friday, Jan. 19 at 10 a.m. local time, with select fan pre-sales starting Tuesday, Jan. 16. Buy tickets here.
