Thelma & James announce debut EP - The Music Universe
Thelma & James announce debut EP Starting Over on September 19th, celebrating with their Grand Ole Opry debut soon after.
themusicuniverse.comHere’s what I found about Jake Worthington and Thelma & James based on recent coverage:
Thelma & James is a duo formed by MacKenzie Porter and Jake Etheridge, not Jake Worthington. They announced their partnership and released their debut single “Happy Ever After You” in early 2025, followed by teasers for other songs like “First Love”. This project has generated interest in their collaboration and potential EP releases, with interviews and features highlighting their reunion after more than a decade of writing separately. If you’re looking for information specifically tying Jake Worthington to Thelma & James, at this time there isn’t widely reported documentation of Worthington being part of that duo’s lineup or projects.[1][2][3][4]
Jake Worthington, independently, released material around 2025 including a single titled “I’m the One” featuring Marty Stuart, according to Nashville/music outlets cited in early 2025. That suggests Worthington’s ongoing activity as a solo artist with notable collaborations, rather than involvement with Thelma & James.[5]
If your interest is in the broader activity of Thelma & James (their releases, interviews, and EP plans), sources from Holler and Atwood Magazine around 2025 provide timelines about their debut single, subsequent unreleased tracks, and a stated aim toward future releases or EPs under that act.[3][4][1]
