QUIT TOUR
February 27th, 2025 by Christina Sanchez
When you think of rock icons like Chad Smith and Fred Durst, Hardy might not come to mind. But if you like new music and genre-breaking rock, I would highly recommend catching Hardy this spring. Perhaps after his Jim Bob World Tour, he will become just as familiar to you as Smith and Durst.
“Quit!!” is Hardy’s third album, and features collaborations with some of the greatest rock musicians of our time, including the duo previously mentioned.
Hardy and Durst’s “Soul4Sale” features the iconic Durst rapping that made him a household name. Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Smith also makes an appearance, bringing his legendary drumming skills to “Good Girl Phase.”
Hardy is similar to Post Malone in believing that music itself is wide open space for exploration. Genres have their purpose, but there are no boundaries in music, and styles are meant to be blended to create a new language, a new sound.
Hardy grew up listening to rock and roll and metal music, but he lived in the small town of Philadelphia, Mississippi. His lifestyle was country, so he started out as a country singer, because that was his truth. However, as his shows and music progressed, he started changing his songs, dropping them into really heavy second halves, which caused the crowd to go crazy. That crowd enthusiasm gave him the confidence to dive into his rock roots and make them an integral part of the songs he writes.
Speaking of songwriting, Hardy actually has a college degree in songwriting and has written 16 number one songs for a variety of artists, including Post Malone, Dr. Dre, and Snoop Dogg.
With more than eight million Spotify listeners a month, Hardy is sure to become a household name soon.
Be ahead of the curve and share talented musicians like Hardy with your friends before they’ve completely broken into the mainstream. Catch Hardy this spring on his Jim Bob World Tour starting May 22nd in Chula Vista.
The tour runs through September 24th, ending in New York City, but Hardy will be on the road most of 2025!
