NASHVILLE, TN (March 29, 2024) — Trials, tribulations, and triumphs mold us like clay. Slipping between the cracks of eloquent folk songcraft and dyed-in-the-wool Americana storytelling, you can practically hear the lessons learned, the wisdom earned, the pain endured, and the truth shared in the music of Judd Warrick. 

Succeeding the release of the lead single “Fascination Die” on Friday, February 23 — from his debut LP Brokenland (release details TBA) — Judd now releases the project's second single and official music video “Into The Dawn.” Characterized by slide guitar underlines, soulful vocals, and accented by an evocative guitar lead, the track will arrive with an intimate in-studio official music video.

Providing another taste of what can be expected from Brokenland later this year, “Into The Dawn” utilizes prominent slide guitar underlining soulful vocals from Judd, accented by evocative lead guitar. Premiering exclusively on Americana UK this week, journalist Andrew Frolish noted, “‘Into The Dawn’ features an excellent vocal performance from Warrick – there’s just the right amount of weary grit in his voice, an edge to his melodic, soulful delivery that feels authentic and emotional”

“It goes into trying to figure where you fit into somebody else’s life,” Judd admits. “You’re putting off decisions until the next day and saying, ‘Let’s go for this, throw caution to the wind, see how it goes, and figuring out how things will end in the morning’.”

“Brokenland is my story,” Judd confides. “I don’t think life ever goes exactly how you want it to. I’ve had a lot of ups and downs. I’m not old; I’m just not twenty anymore. There was a divorce. I’m a single dad to two daughters. It was rough—though I wouldn’t trade any of it for the world. I like to say my situation is broken, but hopeful.”

Judd admittedly grew up “in a really musical family.” His maternal grandfather performed as a trained opera singer, while his mother and sisters sang locally in a trio. At six-years-old, he naturally picked up the drums. Absorbing a passion for Led Zeppelin from his folks, he spent years behind the kit before handling guitar and vocals for a metal band in his early twenties. However, music took a backseat as life happened fast. Following his divorce, he devoted every moment to raising his daughters in between a busy “day job.” Taking advantage of rare pockets of free time, he performed around Main Street during the Sundance Film Festival and at various ski resorts (often with his little girls bundled up and along for the ride).

After all of this intermittent gigging and creating, 2023 finally presented the perfect opportunity for him to actualize his lifelong dream.

“I wanted to wait until my daughters were old enough to pretty much take care of themselves,” he says. “I’m in a better place where I can focus.”

Though his personal taste runs the gamut from Tool and Deftones to Foo Fighters and Johnny Cash, he embraced singer-songwriters such as Amos Lee, Jason Isbell, and Glen Hansard during this creative season. Working out of June Audio, Judd not only sang, but played guitar and drums, while renowned engineer Scott Wiley [Imagine Dragons, The Killers] produced and  contributed bass.

“This song [‘Fascination Die’] is bubbling over with joy from every quarter, and it expertly channels the exuberance of learning all about someone new.”
