Warren Zeiders

Warren Zeiders is an American country and rock singer-songwriter from Hershey, Pennsylvania, who has emerged as one of the most exciting new voices in country music. A former college football player at Penn State University, Zeiders traded the gridiron for the guitar when his music began gaining serious traction on social media during the early 2020s. His raw, gritty vocal style and emotionally charged songwriting set him apart from many of his contemporaries in the country genre.

Zeiders first gained widespread attention through his cover of “Ride the Lightning” and original songs posted on TikTok and YouTube, where his videos accumulated millions of views. His debut single “Ride the Lightning” (not to be confused with the Metallica track) became a viral sensation in 2021 and showcased his ability to blend country, rock, and outlaw influences into a compelling modern sound. He signed with Warner Music Nashville and released his debut album “717 Tapes” in 2022, followed by the major label debut “Pretty Little Poison” in 2023.

The album “Pretty Little Poison” marked Zeiders’ commercial breakthrough, debuting in the top 5 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. The title track and singles like “Dark Night” demonstrated his evolution as a songwriter and his ability to craft arena-ready anthems. His music draws comparisons to artists like Zach Bryan and Morgan Wallen while maintaining a distinctly personal edge rooted in his Pennsylvania upbringing.

As a touring artist, Zeiders has proven to be a powerful draw, headlining his own sold-out tours and performing at major festivals. His intense live performances and genuine connection with fans have built him a passionate following. With his career still in its early chapters, Zeiders is positioned as one of the artists most likely to shape the future direction of country music.
