Jack Ingram

Born in The Woodlands, Texas, Jack Ingram has maintained a reputation for uncompromising, personally charged song craft and energetic, charismatic performances for over 20 years, earning him prominent stature in a prestigious tradition of iconoclastic singer-songwriters. As a veteran of the Texas music scene, Jack is known as an exhilarating live performer. Jack has been honored by the Academy of Country Music with Awards for both Top New Male Artist and Song of the Year, and has landed GRAMMY and CMA nominations. Jack Ingram is also the new host of Texas Music Scene, the syndicated tv show featuring Texas-based artists in over 80 markets. In 2013, Jack teamed up with actor Matthew McConaughey and University of Texas at Austin football coach Mack Brown to create a fundraiser for their favorite children's charities, dubbed Mack, Jack & McConaughey. Jack is also a supporter of Texas Songwriter U (TxSU), an annual songwriting development program consisting of a songwriting competition, educational workshop and showcase event, along with Broadcast Music, Inc (BMI), and The Texas Heritage Songwriters’ Association.

Hailing from West Texas and based in Nashville, it took moving to Music City only to work with Texas artists like Kelly Clarkson, Jack Ingram, and Eli Young Band. The last decade was spent on the road with Miranda Lambert doing everything from singing to snapping photos to wrangling band members. He once wrote a song with Taylor Swift, which his mother is certain she will, one day, release. These days songwriting is about intention and finding joy in music. Something that perhaps, in hindsight, might have been a good place to start.
