New Song, “Love Needs You,” Captures Young Love and Small-Town Roots in New Release Out Tomorrow (5/1) 

Current Radio Single “Rebel” Climbing the Charts 

Luke Bryan Tour Dates and The BIG Baldridge and Bonfire Ahead

Nashville, TN (April 30, 2026) – Country hitmaker Drew Baldridge has announced his upcoming headline run, the Farm Faith Family Tour, with tickets available now at drewbaldridgemusic.com. 

The 14-date trek will see Baldridge crisscross the country, kicking off June 11 in Omaha, NE and wrapping October 18 in Newport Beach, CA. Alyssa Flaherty and Chase Right will provide support. 

Coinciding with the tour announcement, Baldridge’s new song, “Love Needs You,” arrives tomorrow as a heartfelt summer anthem about young love and the moments that shape a lifetime. The track is available for pre-save/add now and will be available everywhere May 1. Get itHERE. 

Written by Baldridge alongside Josh Thompson and Matt Dragstrem, the song was inspired by memories of his early relationship with his wife, Katie, in his hometown of Patoka, Illinois, population 550. 

“We’d drive the backroads past the farm, windows down, listening to country songs like Randy Travis’ ‘Deeper Than the Holler’ and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s ‘I Need You,’” says Baldridge. “This song feels like a perfect blend of those two influences. It was in those honest, unfiltered moments that the foundation of our life together was built.”

“Love Needs You” reflects on how love can bridge differences and create something steady and enduring from life’s early, unpolished moments. “It’s about a simple man telling his girl how he’s going to love her forever in the most honest way he knows how,” Baldridge adds.

His current radio single, “Rebel” (Lyric Ridge Records/Stoney Creek Records), is continuing to climb the charts, following his Top 10 hit “Tough People” and his history-making No. 1, “She’s Somebody’s Daughter.”

With more momentum than ever, Baldridge will join superstar Luke Bryan on tour in summer 2026 while continuing to share new music with fans on the road, including multiple performances at CMA Fest in Nashville on June 6. He will also bring that “Love Needs You” spirit back to Patoka on September 19 for the fourth annual The BIG Baldridge and Bonfire. The one-day country festival celebrates more than 300 stops on his grassroots, fan-driven Baldridge and Bonfires Tour. First launched in 2022 with three consecutive shows, the homegrown event returns by popular demand in 2026 following a one-year hiatus. Adam Sanders is the first artist announced, aside from Baldridge, with more to be revealed. Get tickets HERE. 

About Drew Baldridge: 
Baldridge continues to deliver exactly what fans have been asking for: a steady stream of new music rooted in his signature themes of farm, faith, and family. His new release, “Love Needs You,” arrives as a heartfelt summer anthem, ushering in his next chapter. It follows “Deserve Her” and “Get Me Gone” featuring Emily Ann Roberts via Lyric Ridge Records/BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. His current single, “Rebel,” continues to climb the charts following “Tough People,” which became his second consecutive Top 10 hit at country radio.

This new chapter builds on the massive success of Baldridge’s RIAA Platinum-certified breakout “She’s Somebody’s Daughter,” which reached No. 1 on Country Aircheck/Mediabase and No. 3 on Billboard Country Airplay, making him the only self-funded artist to score a No. 1 debut on Mediabase and the highest-charting independent artist in Billboard Country Airplay history. With more than 2 billion streams and impressions to date, the song also earned a spot on NSAI’s “10 Songs I Wish I Would Have Written.”

This year, Baldridge will headline his Farm, Faith and Family Tour, bringing his music directly to fans across the country, while also joining Luke Bryan on tour and continuing to perform internationally following recent runs across Australia, the UK, and Europe. He has earned multiple accolades, including CRS New Faces 2025 and MusicRow’s 2025 Independent Artist of the Year.
