Charlie Worsham’s debut book, Follow Your Heart: A Guitar, A Tattoo, And One Man’s Country Music Journey, is now available (purchase here). Published by Spring House Press and featuring a forward by Marty Stuart, all proceeds from the book go toward Worsham’s Follow Your Heart Scholarship Fund. Created in partnership with The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, the fund supports the youth of Grenada, Mississippi—Worsham’s hometown—who possess uncommon talent and desire to achieve great things in the arts. In its first two years, the organization has raised nearly $100,000, including $35,000 at this past weekend’s gala in Grenada. The second annual event featured special guest and newly inducted Country Music Hall of Fame member, Don Schlitz, as well as an auction. More information can be found at www.FollowYourHeartArts.org.
Worsham will perform at Opry at the Ryman this Friday night as part of Marty Stuart’s 25th Opry anniversary celebration and will join Miranda Lambert on select dates on her 2018 Livin’ Like Hippies Tour. The performances follow a year of extensive touring for the acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician, who recently concluded a month-long tour of Europe. See below for complete itinerary.
The upcoming shows will feature songs from Worsham’s acclaimed album, Beginning of Things, out now on Warner Bros. Records / Warner Music Nashville (purchase here). The album includes 13 new songs, 9 of which Worsham co-wrote, and was co-produced by Frank Liddell (Miranda Lambert, Lee Ann Womack, Aubrie Sellers) and Eric Masse (Miranda Lambert, Rayland Baxter, Mikky Ekko) with Arturo Buenahora, Jr. (Eric Church, Dierks Bentley) serving as the Executive Producer.
