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 growing catalog – including recent Miranda Lambert collaboration “Hello Shitty Day,” “I’m The One (feat. Marty Stuart)” and viral “It Ain’t The Whiskey.” Announced this week, Worthington sets his sophomore album When I Write The Song for September 12. Captivating the masses with his honky-tonk stylings, the singer-songwriter hits the road this fall joining Zach Top as direct support on all dates of the Cold Beer & Country Music Tour followed by supporting slots on Jon Pardi’s Honkytonk Hollywood Tour. “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.”
