Arkansas-born singer-songwriter Jesse Welles has released two new songs, “The Nerd Reich” and “Whirlwind,” arriving together as a two-track single. The latest release adds to an increasingly prolific year for the artist, who continues to bring his politically charged songwriting to audiences across the country. Both tracks have already become familiar additions to Welles’ live performances during his ongoing Red Tour 2026. “Whirlwind” has emerged as a solo acoustic moment in the tour’s setlists, while “The Nerd Reich” has maintained a regular presence since making its live debut in September.
