Coined American Idol’s “Comeback Kid,” Louisiana native Laine Hardy had a very unconventional start to his Idol journey. He originally auditioned for season 16 in 2018 and received a golden ticket, but was eliminated before the live shows.
In 2019, then 18-year-old Hardy returned not as a contestant but to play the guitar for his friend Ashton Gill’s soulful audition. The judges offered him an opportunity to audition again, and he also received a golden ticket to Hollywood. Unfortunately, Ashton Gill was eliminated during Hollywood week. Hardy went on to win the entire competition.

Since his time on Idol, Laine Hardy moved to Nashville and kept a decently low profile, but used his time in lockdown to produce some new music. In July 2020, Hardy released his single “Tiny Town” at the height of lockdown.
The song is a tribute to the communities his fans call home. Fans submitted video clips of their hometowns, which are featured in Hardy’s music video for the song.

For other venues, he will be an opening act for Toby Keith’s “Country Comes to Town” tour. A few smaller and more intimate shows are sprinkled in the tour schedule.
