HARDY, Lainey Wilson, Lauren Alaina and Devin Dawson performed three sold-out concerts at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium.
Taking flight, his sets hit every note, bringing fans along for a 90-minute thrill ride of “airtight country hooks and….pure rock-fueled adrenaline” (SPIN). From backroad debut EP deep cut “4X4,” to chart-topping hits “wait in the truck” performed with opener Lainey Wilson and “ONE BEER” with pop ups from collaborators Lauren Alaina + Devin Dawson, and his sister Madison Dennis on Saturday night, to crowd-pleasing aggro rock risers “RADIO SONG” and “KILL SH!T TILL I DIE,” to current hard-charged radio singles “TRUCK BED” (Top 25 at country) and “SOLD OUT” (Top 5 at rock), the night solidified HARDY's reputation as "a force in the bigger and more lucrative world of country" (The New Yorker).
The Tennessean put it simply in their rave review of the headline show: "If there are two things Michael Wilson Hardy can do, it's write a song and put on one heck of a show."
Making history, HARDY's weekend of consecutive sell-outs puts him in legendary company as the artist with the second-most ticket sales in a single run at Nashville Municipal Auditorium behind the King of rock 'n roll himself, Elvis Presley, and the artist to play the most shows in a single weekend at the venue.
