NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Larry Fleet knows hard work, pouring concrete by day and playing in local bars by night. It’s a work ethic that’s helped the troubadour again transition to life as an independent artist as he readies “Hard Work & Holy Water” (Listen HERE) in accordance with his headlining Hard Work & Holy Water Tour kicking off tonight (2/13) in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
“I’m where I’m at in life and my career because of a whole lotta hard work and even more Holy Water,” Fleet shares. “I’ve had some big changes in my career and life this past year, and I’m living this song every day so it only made sense that this should be the name of my tour and the first song that I released as an independent artist.
“I always try to write songs that are honest to me and something that I’ve either lived or am living at the moment, and this song is where I’m at in my life,” he explains of the song penned alongside Luke Laird and Barry Dean, with Fleet concluding, “I’m very proud of this song – it just feels special to me.”
Fleet notes even more new music is in the works, “I’m working with my friend Trent Willmon in the studio on some more new music, and I really hope people like it and find their own stories in it.”
As Billboard observes, “with a style that delves into blues, rock and retro-country with ease,” his years of hard work are paying off. Fleet concluded 2024 with The Earned It Tour trek that included theaters from New Orleans to Boston and beyond, as well as one-offs joining Billy Currington, Kip Moore, Jon Pardi and Morgan Wallen. In 2024, Fleet visited fans in Canada and the UK, headlining sold out shows in London and Niagara Falls– and will soon head to Australia for shows in Melbourne and Sydney with Pardi and Zach Top.
Whether writing about his days working construction (“Earned It” and “Working Man”), or balancing his life present-day (“Things I Take For Granted” and “Muddy Water”), you leave Fleet’s 20-plus song headlining sets with a deeper sense of gratitude and optimism he’s proud to impart.
“I’m really excited about 2025 and all the new music and different projects that I have in the works and also on the touring side,” Fleet concludes. “We will be all over the world this year and they tell me shows are already selling out, so things are looking up and I’m excited.”
