Ryan Hurd

Ryan Hurd is a country singer who first earned his reputation as a songwriter, penning tunes that were recorded by Lady Antebellum, Rascal Flatts, Florida Georgia Line, and Blake Shelton -- before making a name for himself. After a handful of EPs and singles he hit the charts with "Love in a Bar" in 2017, then continued to release a series of EPs heading into the next decade, all setting up the 2021 release of Pelago, a melodic and varied full-length debut that featured "Chasing After You," a hit duet with then-wife Maren Morris. In 2024 Hurd began ramping up to his next full-length, releasing the anthemic "Midwest Rock & Roll" along with the Sasha Alex Sloan duet "Go To Bed Sober." His sophomore album, also called Midwest Rock & Roll, appeared in March 2025.A native of Kalamazoo, Michigan, Hurd relocated to Nashville to pursue his dream of breaking into the country music industry. He wound up working behind the scenes, earning a reputation as a songwriter, and scoring his first big hit when Blake Shelton took "Lonely Tonight" to number one on Billboard's Country Airplay charts in 2014. His work as a songwriter reaped personal dividends, too: he met Maren Morris when the two collaborated on a Tim McGraw song; they married in 2018.Hurd used his songwriting success as a platform to launch a performing career. In 2015, he released the Panorama EP, which was enough to earn him some media attention. He landed a record contract with RCA Nashville in 2016 and the label released an eponymous EP in 2017, preceded by the single "We Do Us.""Love in a Bar" became Hurd's first single to crack Billboard's Country Airplay chart, reaching 50 in 2017. The following year, "To a T" climbed to 42 on Country Airplay and 40 on Billboard's overall Country chart. "Her Name Was Summer" appeared in June 2019 followed by two EPs, Panorama and Platonic. Another EP, EOM, was anchored around his 2020 single "Every Other Memory." Hurd and Morris teamed up for the duet "Chasing After You," a single that climbed to number four on Country Airplay early in 2021. "Chasing After You" was the first single from his debut album, Pelago, which appeared that October, peaking at 11 on Billboard's Country charts.Hurd and Morris separated in October 2023; their divorce was finalized in January 2024. In March 2024, Hurd released "Midwest Rock & Roll," his first new music since Pelago; he followed it swiftly with the ballad "Go to Bed Sober," a duet with Sasha Alex Sloan. Both were precursors to his sophomore album, Midwest Rock & Roll, which appeared in March 2025. Described by Hurd as something of acoming-of-age album, the 12-song set fused full-band energy with heartfelt themes of love and loss.
