K99's Texas State Line presents Jack Ingram in concert with special guest Ashley Ray at Brewster Street Ice House (located across from Whataburger Field) on Saturday, Oct. 13th. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of the show.
Around the
time Jack Ingram started writing songs and performing, he was studying
psychology at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. “Music
and psychology come from the same place,” he says. “It’s about studying why
people tick. I write songs to figure out my world, why people act the way they
do, why they make the decisions they do.”
Lucky for us, Ingram chose a career in
music—and discovered an altogether different kind of therapy. He weaved his
questions about life into songs whose depth and incisive wit were matched only
by their melodic resonance and insistent hooks. And instead of charging a
hundred bucks an hour to listen to our problems, Ingram took to the stage and
channeled his emotional searching, his quest to find a place in the world, into
one of music’s most explosive live shows.
You can hear that onstage electricity
in full roar on Live - Wherever You Are,
Ingram’s first release on Nashville’s new Big
Machine label. The company is the brainchild of industry vet Scott Borchetta
and country superstar Toby Keith, in whom Ingram has found an unlikely kindred
spirit. “He says what he means, he does it his way and he takes a stand,” says
Ingram. “It’s great to be a part of that, because that’s how I’ve always been
as well. I know exactly who I am and what I want to sound like.”
In addition to an exhilarating document
of Ingram’s onstage acumen, Live -
Wherever You Are features two new studio tracks—his first since 2002’s
acclaimed Electric. One is the first
single, the surprisingly tender “Wherever You Are.” “It’s a love story,” he
says, “about doing whatever it takes to get where you need to go and going
through all the obstacles you have to go through.”
The other new studio cut is the
bitingly funny “Love You,” a chugging country-rocker that finds the singer
offering a playfully self-censoring kiss-off: “I’m sick and lovin’ tired of all
your lovin’ around/There’s only one four-letter word that’ll do/Love you.”
