Jack Ingram Jumps Into Top 5

Nashville, TN. (Jack Ingram Fans Website) - Jack Ingram and his current Top 5 hit, 'Wherever You Are,' are proof that talent, hard work, positive attitude and perseverance ultimately pay off. Since joining Big Machine Records at its inception late last year and releasing his debut album, Live – Wherever You Are, in January, Jack has logged thousands of frequent flier miles, shaken countless hands and sung on TV and radio at 6am more times than ever before in his music career. And you'll hear nothing but gratitude from the tired Texan, although a day off sounds really good!!

But an extended period of rest and relaxation will have to wait. Jack and his Beat-Up Ford Band will be opening a number of shows for country superstars Brooks & Dunn in the southeast next month.

'I have a Top 5 hit on country radio and I'm going out on tour with Brooks and Dunn…are you sure you have the right number?' Jack asks with a hearty laugh. 'Seriously, this feels great, it is great, and, after all, 5 is one of my favorite numbers.'

As previously announced, nine-time Grammy Award-winner Sheryl Crow has chosen Jack to be the sole opener on her forthcoming tour. He'll perform a 40-minute concert with his high energy band. The tour will begin in Indianapolis on June 12 and will make stops in Dallas, Atlanta, Austin, Memphis, Minneapolis and many other cities.

In addition to Sheryl Crow and Brooks & Dunn, USA Today thinks Jack is something special. The paper selected him for its highly-coveted 'On the Verge' feature recently.
