HARDY, the Nashville-based artist celebrated for his fusion of country grit and rock energy, is set to unleash his first-ever live album, HARDY (Live From Red Rocks), on February 7th. Fans are getting an early taste of the electrifying experience with the debut of “JIM BOB (Live From Red Rocks),” available now for listening here. Pre-orders for the LP are also open here. This release captures the raw intensity of HARDY’s sold-out, back-to-back performances at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado last October, marking a significant milestone in his career.
The upcoming 20-song live album is a testament to HARDY’s dynamic stage presence and his ability to connect with audiences on a massive scale. Recorded at his debut shows at the legendary Red Rocks venue, the album promises to deliver a high-octane setlist spanning his impressive catalog. Listeners can expect to relive the energy of hits like “ROCKSTAR,” “ONE BEER,” “REDNECKER,” and the emotionally charged “wait in the truck.” Adding a special layer to the album is HARDY’s rendition of “God’s Country,” a track he penned that became a #1, multi-Platinum smash for Blake Shelton. This live version marks the first official release of HARDY performing this monumental song himself.

The Red Rocks concerts were the culmination of an exceptional year for HARDY. 2024 saw the release of his chart-topping LP, Quit!!, extensive touring across North America including a headline-grabbing set at CMA Fest, and even his first stadium show. HARDY’s innovative spirit shone through collaborations with rock icons Fred Durst and Chad Smith, further blurring the lines between country and rock. His mainstream recognition soared with appearances on nationally televised shows like “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live!.” Reaching an astounding 15 #1 songs and surpassing 5 billion career streams, HARDY solidified his position as a force in contemporary music.
Critics have lauded HARDY’s unique sound and contribution to the music landscape. The Los Angeles Times has dubbed him “Nashville’s nü-metal king,” recognizing his genre-bending approach. The New Yorker praised his performances as “an infusion of energy,” highlighting the raw power he brings to the stage, especially in a setting as dramatic as Red Rocks. These accolades underscore the anticipation surrounding HARDY (Live From Red Rocks), promising fans an authentic and powerful live music experience.
Looking ahead, HARDY’s schedule is packed with festival appearances across North America and Europe throughout 2025, with more dates expected to be announced. His relentless touring and new live album underscore his commitment to bringing his music directly to fans worldwide. Hailing from Philadelphia, Mississippi, HARDY has carved out a reputation as “a promising purveyor of keeping the spirit of classic heavy Southern rock alive” (American Songwriter), while Rolling Stone notes his ability to be “capable of writing the big hits for radio, obstinate enough to do something completely unexpected, and savvy enough to find the throughline for it all.”
