NASHVILLE, TN (September 29, 2025) — Will Jones, known for his hard-edged, traditional country sound, is set to release his new single, “Ride With Me,” on Friday, October 10 via Lady Luck Songs / Blue Harbor Music. Co-written alongside Mark Nesler and Tony Martin and produced by Cliff Audretch and Rob McNelley, the song’s driving tempo captures the emotional toll of life on the road while having to leave loved ones at home.

“Life on the road, long nights, and chasing a dream isn’t easy for anyone, but it’s even harder on the ones we love,” Will shares. “With a young daughter and another on the way, I dedicate ‘Ride With Me’ for every partner who holds it all together, making it possible to keep pursuing the journey.”

Last month, riding a wave of unstoppable momentum, Will was named a “Country Next” artist by Country Now, praised as “a powerhouse whose music blends the raw grit of outlaw country with the soulful heart of Appalachian bluegrass.” He was also recently highlighted in Holler’s “10 Country and Americana Artists You Need To Know,” reinforcing his place as one of country music’s most exciting rising voices. A true triple-threat, Will is  masterful on guitar, magnetic on stage, and emotionally resonant as a songwriter. 

Since moving to Nashville in 2019, Will’s career has already taken him to stages alongside artists like Jon Pardi, Ashley McBryde, Josh Turner, Tracy Lawrence, and Gavin Adcock, as well as bluegrass royalty including Ralph Stanley, Chris Thile, Sierra Hull, and Ben Haggard. 

Will didn’t so much learn three chords as inherit them. Raised deep in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, his music carries the raw heartbeat of Appalachian bluegrass and the fierce edge of traditional country. Born into the family band, The Cana Ramblers, Will learned early what it meant to perform. By age six, he was singing lead, strumming guitar, and commanding the crowd as the band’s natural MC. “I was always the one talking to the crowd,” he recalls. “Knowing how to entertain and hold a stage — that’s what I’m still doing now. Nothing’s changed.”

Nothing’s changed, but he’s certainly refined. Now, Will’s music feels equal parts front-porch picker and highway poet, which comes through clearly in his latest songs, “Come On In,” “Lonesome Dove,” “My Country’s Showing” and “Devil’s Den.” In particular, “Lonesome Dove” turned heads with MusicRow’s Robert Oermann, who lauded it as “eloquent and extraordinary… a listening experience that stopped me in my tracks. The ballad is beautifully written, and his vocal performance is country heaven. Plucked guitar strings and sighing steel frame… stop what you are doing and lend this your ears.”

While his craft continues to broaden with barroom anthems and heart worn ballads, he says, “The heart of my sound remains rooted in my bluegrass beginnings. To me, it’s all country damn music.” Will Jones is poised for a breakout rooted not in gimmicks, but grit, growth, and deep respect for the heritage that raised him. “Steeped in tradition but a little wild, free, and unpredictable,” he says with a grin, “that’s me.”
