Jack Ingram is a Grammy-nominated country music artist best known for his personally charged song craft and energetic, charismatic performances, which has earned him prominent stature in a prestigious tradition of iconoclastic singer-songwriters. A native of The Woodlands, Ingram first received national attention in 2005 with the release of his hit single “Wherever You Are”. The song earned Ingram his first number one hit on the Billboard country charts. In 2018, Ingram won Song of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards for his song “Tin Man” featuring Miranda Lambert and Jon Randall. The song also received a Grammy-nomination for Best Country Song of the Year.
“The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion is proud and honored to be a part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of The Woodlands. We look forward to welcoming Lyle Lovett, Hayes Carll and now Jack Ingram back to our Main Stage in October,” said Jeff Young President & CEO for The Pavilion. “The Woodlands is a true testament to the dream the Mitchells envisioned; It has become the most incredible place to live, work, play – and listen to world-class live music.”
