The GRAMMY Museum is thrilled to welcome rising star Warren Zeiders for an intimate conversation about his music, creative process, career, and more followed by a performance.
**Warren Zeiders** was just 22 years old when he signed his first recording contract with Warner Records. After a series of live covers, [**“Ride The Lightning”**](https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/dKzqCjRkpwIj6PPZIWfSEG?domain=youtube.com) caught fire and ignited a community of true believers before he’d ever toured or played outside his hometown of Hershey, PA. **Zeiders’** distinctive, high energy country music is powered by a steady supply of youthful grit, honesty, muscle, and then, there’s *that voice*; a world-weary, lived-in, honeyed growl that belie his young years. Recently relocated to Nashville—the now 23-year-old singer/songwriter delivers outlaw sermons in his unmistakable authenticity. After his original solo acoustic version of **“Ride The Lightning”** became an instant hit, **Zeiders** released a string of rockin’ but heartfelt tracks on his own **717 Tapes** platform that led ***People Magazine*** to surmise *“Warren Zeiders is a wild horse who sings about the truth.”* Following a pair of well-received EP’s, **Zeiders** hit the road for this first-ever tour with all dates selling out in under 72 hours. To date, **Warren Zeiders** has amassed over **1.4 billion** global TikTok views, in excess of **870 million** audio streams and well over **39 million** video plays on the heels of his recently released debut album ***717 Tapes: The Album*** this past September. In recent weeks, **Zeiders** has released his first new tracks of 2023—[**“West Texas Weather”**](https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/BGMbCkRlqxInL11oCVJ49E?domain=youtube.com) and [**“Pretty Little Poison”**](https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/CdDYClYmryUo9pp6TyyILy?domain=youtube.com)—and performed his first show outside the US in Queensland, Australia at **CMC Rocks QLD.** **Zeiders** and his band have just begun a year of non-stop touring including stops at **Stagecoach Festival 2023** celebrating his 100th show to date and Nashville’s **CMA Festival,** among others.
