NASHVILLE, TN (May 31, 2024) — Today, Americana artist Judd Warrick shares the final offering “Town Of Dreams,” from his forthcoming full length album Brokenland (due Friday, May 31). Characterized by vivid storytelling hinging on a simmering beat as he paints a picture of pursuing dreams against all odds, the track is based around a number of conversations with a friend of Warricks. “A friend of mine moved to Nashville,” he shares. “She’s a farm girl, and she went to the city to write songs. The second she arrived, she was really homesick, and it struck a chord with me. So, the story is about her gaining confidence in herself and saying, ‘This was my damn dream. I’m here no matter what happens, and I’m not leaving.’”
Premiering exclusively with Roughstock yesterday, music journalist Matt Bjork raved, “This brilliant new song [‘Town Of Dreams’] from singer/songwriter Judd Warrick's forthcoming Americana album – Brokenland…beautiful storytelling and paints a story…a great new track about persevering through all odds in the pursuit of your dreams… Judd Warrick’s ‘Town Of Dream’ promises to resonate.”
Stream “Town Of Dreams” here.
“Town Of Dreams” succeeds the release of lead single and contemplative love song “Fascination Die” (February 23) — which had Americana Highways raving of its “expertly channeled exuberance of learning all about someone new”— and more recently “Into The Dawn” (March 29).“‘Into the Dawn’ features an excellent vocal performance from Warrick” shared Andrew Frolish of Americana UK. “There’s just the right amount of weary grit in his voice, an edge to his melodic, soulful delivery that feels authentic and emotional.”

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.
