HARDY UNVEILS NEW TRACK “SIX FEET UNDER (CALEIGH’S SONG)”
NASHVILLE, TENN. – HARDY unveils a new track, “SIX FEET UNDER (Caleigh’s Song),” today from his highly anticipated new album QUIT!! — listen here
Dedicated to HARDY’s wife Caleigh and the only song HARDY wrote solo for the album, the track reflects on his own mortality and deeply abiding love for her.
“SIX FEET UNDER” — which impacts country radio on Monday, June 10 — follows “ROCKSTAR” — currently climbing at rock radio, “PSYCHO,” album title track “QUIT!! and latest release “JIM BOB,” praised by Country Central as a “blistering, electro-rock thrasher built around HARDY’s idyllic redneck lifestyle.” QUIT!! is out July 12 on Big Loud Rock, pre-save / pre-order it here.
HARDY is currently touring the U.S. on his headline Quit!! Tour and will headline CMA Fest in Nashville this Sunday. His extensive summer schedule sees headline dates and a slew of summer festival appearances, finishing with a return to his home state of Mississippi for his first ever stadium show and two back-to-back nights at Red Rocks this fall; full routing is below.
In May, HARDY, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Outlaw Light Beer took over Hollywood with a very special block party for 3,000 fans. HARDY joined the show to perform six songs live from their outdoor stage in a first since 2019. Watch HARDY perform “ROCKSTAR” on Kimmel here.
The new album, recorded with Big Loud’s own hitmaker Joey Moi (Morgan Wallen, Florida Georgia Line, Nickelback), sees HARDY’s first full album embrace of his rock sound and follows last year’s much lauded, half rock LP, the mockingbird & THE CROW. That album’s latest runaway smash, “TRUCK BED,” just hit No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase Country charts, marking HARDY’s first solo Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase Country No. 1, fifth No. 1 as an artist, and 15th No. 1 as a songwriter.
HARDY recently shared his version of the Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre classic “Gin and Juice,” recorded at the personal request of the hip hop icons. Listen here and check out the short film featuring HARDY, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and Nicola Peltz Beckham here.

ABOUT HARDY
Big Loud Records/Big Loud Rock heavy hitter HARDY — crowned “Nashville’s nü-metal king” by the Los Angeles Times — soared to new heights in 2023 with the release of his critically acclaimed half-country, half-rock sophomore album The Mockingbird & THE CROW, adding to 4.6 billion career streams. The 17-track effort debuted in the top five all-genre on the Billboard 200 Albums chart and topped seven additional Billboard charts in its first week, including Top Country Albums, Top Rock Albums, and Top Album Sales.
The pride of Philadelphia, Mississippi, has earned his reputation as “a promising purveyor of keeping the spirit of classic heavy Southern rock alive” (American Songwriter), “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” (Rolling Stone). A five-time ACM award winner and two-time CMA award winner, HARDY has also won three CMA Triple Play awards, was named the 2022 BMI Country Songwriter of the Year and is a three-time AIMP Songwriter of the Year.
HARDY has written 15 No. 1 singles including his own two-times Platinum chart topper “ONE BEER” featuring Lauren Alaina and Devin Dawson, the Platinum Dierks Bentley and BRELAND collaboration “Beers On Me,” game-changing 2X Platinum duet “wait in the truck” feat. Lainey Wilson and first-ever rock radio No. 1 “JACK.” He’s previously toured with Thomas Rhett, Morgan Wallen, Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean, Cole Swindell and more.
