HARDY’s Advice to Young Songwriters kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3nVeGOtgZqqpJY

[@MitchellH-fx8eq]

I went to a concert where Hardy was opening. He threw a couple drinks into the audience. Hit me in the middle of the forehead with an ice cube and covered me with alcohol. One of the most beautiful moments of my life.

[@jacoblittle4002]

That's a southern baptism, consider yourself in the list of the Saint's now.

[@Jchesseltine]

Hardy’s abilities as a song writer, producer, creator and his ability to put others on makes him the best of the best. Even as humble as he is saying others are so good and so big, He is the reason country music is as relevant as it is. Hardy is the king and deserves more recognition for his art.

Hardy damn sure ain’t lying about the Neshoba County Fair. I went with a few friends in my early 20’s, ate mushrooms all weekend and lived it up. One of the friends was from Philadelphia and later dated Hardy’s sister. He passed away mid twenties and Hardy has been awesome to his family , getting them front row tickets to concerts with him and Morgan. Much respect to Hardy for being so kind to a family who has been thru hell.

[@anitabrinkman3832]

Went in the 70s with a friend who had family there, woo hoo! Had a blast

[@gabcakeee]

"Im pointing that way because Jordan lives right down the road"....such a lovable Hardy moment! ❤

[@mayso93]

I'm born and raised Mississippi through and through and let me tell you. We love Hardy and Philadelphia/Neshoba County is EXACTLY what he described. Love the show, love to see Hardy's success.

[@yourmom6833]

Hardy seems like the type of guy you could sit down at the bar with and feel perfectly comfortable!

[@meganhinton4626]

When they were in Sydney, I saw hardy & his wife be their biggest supporters to eachother before he went on stage. It was honestly the most humble, most beautiful moment I’ve ever witnessed between two people 🖤

[@AndiSchneider]

I love Hardy! Music is such a huge part of my life and my son’s. I escaped with my son from my abusive ex husband, and it’s been just the two of us. Music is so powerful. My little boy has autism and is basically nonverbal and he adores music. He’s grown up with me playing piano, drums, a marimba and xylo when I can find one, and just singing. He lights up when we are just singing and dancing. When I’m singing and he’s just smiling and humming along it is beautiful. You just lose all sense of everything except that moment.

[@floydcouncil1690]

I’ve never heard of Hardy before, so I randomly, and luckily picked “wait in the truck” and holy shit this man can write. Very moving song, you definitely have a new fan.

[@purplepanties26]

Give heaven some hell is my favorite, but all of his songs are great.

[@buckeye392]

Honestly, as a fan from day 1, I don’t think he’s ever written a bad song

[@NinjaofApathy]

Floyd bro you're fucking right. I hadn't heard of this guy before and that's a great song recommendation. Good stuff 🤙

[@drealboy_]

He wrote up down, whiskey glasses, simple, gods country, sand in my boots, wasted on you, Tennessee fan, many more on wallens record breaking album. He made morgan

[@thecourseoftime]

HARDY is so damn good live 💜. He deserves all the good recognition that he gets. Love him!

[@mathewpickels2745]

I'm not super into modern country. But, I do like going to the XTU show in Camden. I was very pleasantly surprised to discover him there.. this dude put on a hell of a show. And apparently wrote every goddamn hit song for the last like 4 years lol

[@marshallr4013]

Hardy is the best country artist right now! Seen him back as a young buck and in stadiums, best concerts I’ve ever been too.

[@peterkovic2241]

Agreed. Not only are his lyrics superior, his melodies are just as incredible.

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

Absolutely crazy my man is from Philadelphia Mississippi! I grew up on HWY 19N haha! The Neshoba County Fair should be world wide!! Incredible experience! I’ve personally met Peyton Manning and his entire family there. Every needs to experience the Neshoba County Fair!
