About Hadlie Jo

At just 17, Hadlie Jo is proving that age is merely a number as she emerges as one of country music’s most authentic and exciting new voices. Hailing from Texas and on track to graduate from South Plains College in December 2025, the rising singer-songwriter has already carved out a reputation for heartfelt, unfiltered storytelling. Her songwriting talent has quickly earned her a seat at the table with some of Nashville’s most respected and legendary writers, a testament to her craft, drive, and unmistakable voice.     

A gifted multi-instrumentalist, Hadlie Jo is equally at home on guitar, piano, mandolin, banjo, and fiddle. Earlier this year, she brought that versatility to the stage as part of the 11-stop “Look at Me Now” tour. Her commanding live show and soulful vocals have landed her opening spots for country greats like Sara Evans, Scotty McCreery, Randall King, Larry Gatlin, Randy Rogers, Aaron Watson, and Moe Bandy. She’s also graced the stage of the Grand Ole Opry not once, but twice, as a special guest of songwriting legend Beth Nielsen Chapman, an honor for any artist, let alone one still in her teens.    

Though she lives with a health condition that requires the assistance of her devoted service dog, Lucy, Hadlie Jo refuses to let adversity define her. Her music is honest, heartfelt, and deeply relatable, reflecting both her resilience and unwavering optimism. As she puts it, “Everybody has a story. I’m singing mine.” 

Hadlie Jo has recently made her debut at the legendary Bluebird Café and shared the stage with Nashville’s beloved Song Suffragettes at The Listening Room Café. With a string of new singles on the way and a new EP slated for release in 2026, Hadlie Jo’s story is just beginning and it’s one worth listening to.
