Hailing from Richmond, Va., Jack Wharff and The Tobacco Flatts blend bluegrass, country and rock. Wharff grew up surrounded by bluegrass through his father's band, The Slack Family. The now 21-year-old lead singer began writing his own songs. In 2023, Wharff met drummer Garrett Howell and bassist Ryan Atchison at an open mic night in downtown Richmond, forming The Tobacco Flatts almost instantly, later adding guitarist Evan Novoa to the band

Wharff wrote "Picture Perfect" with Atchison, Howell, Brian Bunn, Tyler Woodward and Ben Wagner. "'Picture Perfect' is a love letter to our better halves," adds said. "It's a compilation of memories we've shared together and assuring the ladies in our lives that they are 'picture perfect' in our eyes."
