Jacob Hackworth has signed a publishing deal with Kos Weaver‘s Goat Island Sound and Boom Music Group, with exclusive administration by Warner Chappell.

West Plains Missouri native Hackworth combines strong vocals with a knack for writing songs that has already netted him the Bailey Zimmerman breakout hit “Rock And A Hard Place,” which landed at  No. 1 this week on Sirius XM’s The Highway.

“I’m grateful that Goat Island gets to partner on Jacob with these amazing companies and people, especially my friend Joe Fisher,” shares Weaver. “Jacob is a gifted artist songwriter that deserves this great group of support.”

“We’re thrilled to welcome Jacob Hackworth to the Boom team, and even more excited to do it with our good friends at Goat Island and Warner Chappell,” adds Boom’s Shaina Botwin. “Jacob is a great guy and a special talent, and we’re grateful to be along for the ride!”

“Sam Shelton [Director of A&R at Goat Island] was the first person that wanted to sign me,” recalls Hackworth. “After I met everyone at Boom, Goat Island, and Warner Chappell, I knew that was the team I wanted to be a part of.”
