AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 22 FINALIST JACK BLOCKER RELEASES ORIGINAL SONG “ALL OF YOURS (TO GIVE ALL OF MINE)” TODAY

American Idol season 22 finalist Jack Blocker has released his original song “All of Yours (To Give All of Mine)” today. Listen here, via 19 Recordings / BMG Nashville.  A singalong-style single, the folk-tinged love story is a toast to that sort of deep, truthful love only time and tribulation reveals.

Written by Blocker, the self-penned song is specifically a tribute to the singer-songwriter’s wife, Georgia, whom he credits with not only encouraging him to continue pursuing his career in music but also standing by his side throughout the bumps and bruises of pursuing a creative livelihood.

“I wrote 'All Of Yours (To Give All Of Mine)' about my wife supporting me during the dog days of trying to make a career in music,” Blocker says. “I’d been working at it for a while now - all the three years of our marriage and then some - but hadn’t yet broken through enough to support our family financially. If it were just up to me, I would’ve quit a while ago and found a steadier job, but she’s encouraged me over and over again through failure and uncertainty to keep going. This song is a love letter to Georgia and a reminder to myself of what’s truly valuable.”

Hailing from North Texas, Blocker began pursuing music as a shy teenager. In 2022, he and his wife relocated from Dallas to Nashville so he could pursue music full-time. 

The winner of American Idol will be announced on May 19.
