Charlie Worsham has never had a back-up plan. The acclaimed singer / songwriter and celebrated multi-instrumentalist has only ever had one thing: a bones-deep love for music. He weathers the storms of that all-consuming passion in his first new release in nearly four years, “Fist Through This Town” (Worsham, Jeremy Spillman, Travis Meadows). The fire-in-his-belly, Springsteen-tinted country rocker picks up Worsham’s story following the release of his 2017 album Beginning of Things, which, along with his debut Rubberband, earned widespread critical praise and year-end recognition from outlets including The Wall Street Journal, Variety, Rolling Stone, American Songwriter and more. Since then, the “undeniable musical talent” (NPR) has toured with Vince Gill and Old Crow Medicine Show, earning an ACM Awards Specialty Instrument Player of the Year nomination in the process. Frequently lending his co-writing and recording skills to artists including Eric Church, Luke Combs, Keith Urban and Kacey Musgraves, Worsham recently launched Air Castle Community Hour, a monthly show on WSM radio (home to the Grand Ole Opry) that celebrates the diverse community of creative spirits that reside in the 615. Now the beloved musician is ready to again share his own voice: “Fist Through This Town” welcomes listeners into Worsham’s anger, struggle, desire and, ultimately, love.
