Nashville, TN (October 22, 2024) – Country music rising star Hudson Westbrook is releasing his self-titled debut EP on November 15 in partnership with River House Artists. After an explosive arrival and a string of viral hits under his belt, the seven-song project includes previously released singles “Two-Way Drive,” “5 to 9”, and “Dopamine.” Westbrook’s latest single, “House Again,” dropped last Friday, October 18, and has already accumulated over 1 million streams. The tracks showcase his incredible song-crafting growth, with all seven tracks written over the last few months with Nashville heavy-hitters Ryan Beaver, Marv Green, Neil Medley, and more.
Originally from Texas, Westbrook’s music career has skyrocketed. His debut song, ‘Take It Slow,’ surpassed 14 million streams in just six months, solidifying Westbrook’s position in the genre. Since March, he has released six tracks, accumulating over 30 million global career streams. He recently played the main stage at ACL Fest and is headlining dates through the fall. He also has support dates with Midland, the Eli Young Band, and Cole Swindell, indicating a promising 2025 for the young artist.
“So far, everything has been instant with my music career, and a lot has changed in my life quickly,” says Westbrook. “As an artist, everything around you changes constantly, but the most important thing is keeping constants in your life. Over the last six months, I’ve learned the value of time. When you’re with the people who mean the most to you, it’s important to make the most of it.”
Westbrook further shares, “When writing these tracks for the EP, I was reflecting on how I pray for the important people in my life, whether we are together or apart. The unwavering support from my fans has given me the confidence to release this project, and I believe these songs truly represent who I am as an artist. I hope they provide a special experience for listeners.”

ABOUT HUDSON WESTBROOK
After an explosive arrival and a series of grassroots hits, River House Artists talent Hudson Westbrook is now taking his place among a new generation of country singer-songwriters. Self-taught and proudly rough-around-the-edges, the rising star made his splash debut with “Take It Slow” in 2024 (while still enrolled at Texas Tech) and is now pushing ahead, revitalizing the organic country-rock of the Red Dirt revolution – but refusing to be held down by his roots. Hailing from the small town of Stephenville, Texas, and raised on everything from George Strait to gangsta rap, the multi-sport athlete and high school football state champion began playing guitar in 2020 and wrote his first song after enrolling in college in 2023. Blue-collar in both life experience and approach, “Take It Slow” was one of the first songs Westbrook ever wrote, and after recording the laid-back tribute to romantic relaxation for $400, its edgy vocal charm and warm country-rock buzz made it a bonafide hit, racking up more than 10 million streams so far. Claiming a place in the modern music landscape, Westbrook followed with the windows-down anthem “Two Way Drive” and the propulsive new single, “5 to 9” – a showcase of the young star’s song-crafting growth, on top of his innate skill. Capturing a working man’s daydream with a loping, modern-traditional sound, “5 to 9” was joined by the narrative stunner “Johnny Walker” – a grooving cover of fellow Texas lane-maker Jacob Stelly – and both serve to reveal Westbrook’s creative heading. Intent on taking the Texas country spirit far beyond the state line, non-stop travel to meet concert demand includes headlining dates and a tour supporting honky-tonk hitmakers Midland in late 2024, with more new music and shows on the way.
