Charlie Worsham has signed with ONErpm for the release of his upcoming album, Once Upon A Second Time Around.

The project, due Aug. 7, marks Worsham’s first independent album. As a songwriter, Worsham has earned cuts with Kenny Chesney, Luke Combs and Dierks Bentley. He earned the 2024 CMA Musician of the Year and CMA Touring Musician of the Year, and is two-time ACM Acoustic Guitar Player of the Year.

“Charlie is one of the most respected musicians, songwriters, and artists in Nashville. His talent, authenticity, and unwavering commitment to his craft have earned him the admiration of both fans and his peers. Everyone at ONErpm is honored that Charlie has chosen us as his partner, and we’re excited to support the next chapter of an already remarkable career,” shares Mike Easterlin, Managing Director-Nashville, ONErpm.

“A few weeks ago, I sat down to breakfast with Mike Easterlin and my management team, knowing there was a chance we’d partner on the release of Once Upon A Second Time Around. We spent the morning talking about family, the perspective that comes with time in this business, mentors, and what really matters. What struck me most was what we didn’t talk about. We never picked apart the music. It was simply understood that the music was the foundation, and the goal was to support it and give it every opportunity to find its audience,” adds Worsham.

Worsham has previewed the album with two versions of his single, “Wrap My Porch Around,” one accompanied by The Travelin’ McCourys.

“Wrap My Porch Around is one of the most autobiographical songs on the new record, and it felt like the perfect candidate to represent both my love of modern country music AND my love of bluegrass,” says Worsham. “Of course, I pulled a page from the book of Vince Gill. It was his example, recording two versions of High Lonesome Sound, that inspired me to do the same with Porch. In a full-circle moment, we cut the bluegrass version at Vince’s house. I didn’t even pull my dreadnought out of the case that day, opting for one of Vince’s old D18s.”

Worsham has upcoming shows in Florida, Mississippi and more.
