WHAT IT IS: 22-year-old rising singer/songwriter Warren Zeiders is one of country music’s most-buzzed-about newcomers. The Hershey, Pa., native delivers outlaw sermons in a gravelly, world-weary voice that belies his young age. His debut EP, 717 Tapes—which includes collaborations with Eric Paslay, Tim Nichols, Randy Montana and Justin Ebach—topped the iTunes Country album charts and yielded his viral, gold-certified single, “Ride the Lightning.” With his second EP, 717 Tapes, Vol. 2, Zeiders continues to tap into the authentic Americana sounds he cut his teeth on while injecting a healthy dose of Heartland ethos into the honky-tonks of Music City.
