Jake Worthington is a country music singer from La Porte, Texas, about thirty miles east of Houston. He was raised on country music by his uncle who would play Ray Price, Merle Haggard and George Jones records on their family porch. Jake made it to the finals on Season 6 of NBC's The Voice and since then has become a regular performer and leading light for the genre as a true advocate for traditional country music. He is now signed to Big Loud Texas Records and has been featured on the number 20 current Billboard Country chart hit “Hello Shitty Day” with Miranda Lambert; a song that blends modern production with traditional country storytelling. He also had great success with his song “It Ain’t The Whiskey” which is still climbing the Billboard Country charts, as well as a duet of “I’m The One” with country music icon, Marty Stuart. Jake Worthington's brand new album "When I Write The Song" which released in 2025, captures the heart and soul of traditional honky tonk music while honoring the tradition and legacy of the country music genre.
