Jackson “Jack” Rivers has become one of country music’s most recognizable new voices, blending modern grit with the warm, traditional sound he grew up on in Tennessee. Since breaking onto the scene in 2024 with “Cold Steel Dreams,” which peaked on the Billboard charts and stayed there for weeks, Jack has spent the last year touring the country, writing new music, and steadily building a loyal fanbase drawn to his authenticity and heartfelt storytelling. His Harmonix Award nomination for “Whiskey Kisses” marked a turning point, placing him firmly in the spotlight as an artist to watch. In 2025, Jack released his first full-length album, “Backroads & Heartstrings,” a collection of songs that showcased his range from rugged anthems to tender, emotional ballads. The record debuted in the Top 10 on the country albums chart and produced several fan-favorite tracks, including the nostalgic holiday song “The Train in the Attic,” which quickly became a seasonal staple. His national tour, which began modestly in small and mid-sized venues, grew in size as demand surged, eventually selling out theaters and outdoor amphitheaters across the country. Critics praised Jack’s live performances for their raw emotion, strong vocals, and down-to-earth presence that made every show feel personal. Despite his rising fame, Jack remains grounded in his roots. He still resides in Tennessee with his wife Emily, and he often credits his family for keeping him steady in the whirlwind of the past two years. Jack’s songwriting continues to draw inspiration from his upbringing, his relationships, and the working-class values instilled in him from childhood. He has become known for songs that feel lived-in and sincere, carrying echoes of classic country while embracing a modern edge. Now, closing out 2025, Jack is preparing for an even bigger year ahead. With a growing reputation as both a powerhouse vocalist and a thoughtful storyteller, he is writing new material, planning his next tour, and collaborating with some of the most respected musicians in Nashville. Though his star is rising quickly, Jack remains focused on what matters most: staying true to his sound, honoring the people and places that shaped him, and creating music that resonates with listeners from all walks of life.
