Made in close collaboration with producer Jack Riley (Knox, Grace VanderWaal), The Hard Way includes Whitcomb’s chart-climbing singles “Medusa” and “Quitter” (nominated for Single Of The Year at the 2025 Canadian Country Music Awards where he won Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Fan’s Choice), both of which continue to rack up over a million streams weekly in the U.S. and two million streams weekly across the globe. Also featuring standouts like “Hundred Mile High” (a No. 33 hit on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart), the 15-track album ricochets from stripped-back folk to rough-edged country to punk-leaning pop as Whitcomb offers a real-time glimpse into his inner world. While gearing up for The Hard Way’s arrival, Whitcomb recently embarked on his I’ve Got Options Tour - a fast-selling North American headline run including a two-night stand at the historic Troubadour in Los Angeles.
