With more than 100 tour dates per year, Haddock’s diligent nature mixed with his traditional, authentic style of country music has quickly solidified his spot as a staple in the Texas Country scene. After releasing his debut album First Rodeo in late 2018, Haddock’s lead-off single “She Don’t Know It Yet” quickly climbed the Texas country charts while his sophomore radio single “Everywhere I Need To Be” peaked in the Top 35; an impressive feat. for the young talent. Not only did the record perform well at country radio, but it has also amassed more than 750K streams on Spotify while being featured on more than 2.5K playlists.
Now celebrating the release of his sophomore record with hit producer/songwriter Trent Willmon (Cody Johnson, Eric Church, Randy Houser) at the helm, Haddock is ready to take his career to the next level with Red Dirt Texas. The 10-track album features five songs co- written by Haddock and chart-topping songwriters including Willmon, Kevin Fowler, David Lee Murphy, Terry McBride, Tommy Karlas (Randy Travis, Blake Shelton, Montgomery Gentry), John Pierce (Zac Brown Band, Chris Young), Jim Collins (Kenny Chesney, Jason Aldean) and more.
