Hardy made his Grand Ole Opry debut on Tuesday night (April 29). Lainey Wilson provided a video introduction before the singer-songwriter took the stage. During the debut, Ella Langley joined Hardy on stage for a performance of him and Wilson’s hit “Wait In The Truck.”

Additionally, Hardy released his new EP Country! today (May 2) via Big Loud Records. The five-track project includes the previously released “Favorite Country Song” and “Buck On The Wall.”
