Whitcomb enjoys a "Hundred Mile High"
The song from Whitcomb, who is about to tour the U.S. with many dates already sold out, was produced by frequent collaborator Jack Riley.
The Hundred Mile High Tour gets underway March 13 at Charlotte, N..C's Amos Southend and continues through early April.
"'Hundred Mile High' is a story from my youth, inspired by moments that stuck with me," said Whitcomb. "I hope people connect with it in their own way and take whatever they need from it whether it brings back a memory, hits a feeling or just lets them escape for a bit."
"Hundred Mile High" is the follow-up song to "Medusa (Acoustic)." Last year, he released the EP "Quitter."
The Nanaimo, British Columbia-based artist – who is also set for a series of February headline dates in his home country of Canada – will follow the Hundred Mile High Tour by traveling Down Under for a largely sold-out tour of Australia as special guest supporting Sam Barber on his ongoing Restless Mind Tour. Additional dates in the U.S. and Can ada, and more will be announced soon.
Hailing from British Columbia's Vancouver Island, Whitcomb left home at age 17 and got a job working on a pipeline, later spending much of his downtime singing karaoke and posting covers on Reddit. When an American Idol executive took note of his vocal talent, he landed a spot on the show's 20th season and emerged as a top 20 finalist. Whitcomb then immersed himself in learning to write songs while getting sober. After making his label debut with 2024's "Rocking Chair" – which amassed over 40 million combined views across socials prior to its premiere – Whitcomb embarked on his first-ever headline run, the Quitter Tour.
