“BREAKING UP & GETTING DRUNK”
HEADLINING TOUR BEING PLOTTED FOR THE FALL
NASHVILLE, TN (July 22, 2022) — Rising Nashville-based country artist Noah Hicks has released the official music video for his latest single, “Breaking Up & Getting Drunk” — an unofficial anthem for anyone navigating a fresh heartbreak. The video, directed by Stone Wertz and Noah Hicks, captures pure heartache escapism and was filmed during a road trip to 30A, where the song was also written a few months prior.

“I actually wrote it with the boys during a stay down in 30A about a mile from the beach, which the song references,” explains Noah. “The song was inspired by the idea of living the good life regardless of what comes at you that you can’t really control. With the video, we tried to capture the idea that you can choose to focus on whatever you want to, even in shitty situations. We’re just focusing on the positive and looking for a good time.”
“Breaking Up & Getting Drunk” — written by Hunter Phelps, Jeremy Stover, Hicks and Will Bundy — marks the first single release since his I Can Tell You’re Small Town EP which was released on April 15, 2022, all via RED Creative Records. Just prior to the EP’s release, Billboard deemed Noah their “Country Rookie of The Month,” and he’s been steadily building accolades and fans with each release.
Noah Hicks officially moved to Nashville, TN from his hometown of Carrollton, GA in 2020 with a guitar, some songs and a distinguished voice, or as American Songwriter put it: “rising country artist Noah Hicks has a voice that sounds like an old friend. The warmth that emanates from Hicks invites you to sit down, grab a round, and talk about nothing for a while.”

Country newcomer Noah Hicks tells his story through song in a way that’s strangely familiar and universally relatable. Using home as his inspirational ‘true north,’ the ingenuity and maturity behind his sound and lyricism has provided Hicks a gateway into a community of some of Nashville’s top songwriters and producers, and has seen the young artist warmly welcomed by peers. Raised in a musically inclined family (predominantly on his father’s side), Hicks was naturally drawn to the art form. A singer from birth, he and his best friend got their first guitars in third grade. “There was a bit of friendly competition with those guitars — who could learn to play quicker,” shares Noah. “It was great motivation to practice and learn.”
Hicks spent the next several years honing his craft, while watching, listening to, and supporting fellow artists from his area, including up-and-coming stars like Dylan Marlowe and others. In January 2020, Hicks made the official move to Nashville, taking up residence on the couch of Marlowe, Tyler Chambers, and Chad Bishop. “They took me under their wings and introduced me to everyone they could.” In March 2020, he released his sophomore single “Drinkin’ Alone,” and soon began receiving inquiries from publishing companies in town, including RED Creative Group. “I took the meeting on the encouragement of my friends, and the minute I walked through the doors of RED… it felt right,” reveals Noah. With a hit songwriter and producer now at the helm of Hicks’ career, he found himself in writing rooms with other esteemed writers like Rhett Akins, Brandon Kinney, Cole Taylor, Jordan Walker, and Justin Weaver — further leaning into his sound as a writer and artist and, true to form, making a few friends in the process.
“I never thought being a singer was even possible, I intended to do what everyone else did,” confides Noah. “I’ve worked farms, built fences, tended cows, tinted windows, but becoming an artist was always just a dream. Now I’m blessed to call it my job.”
