Since first hitting the mainstream music scene in 2014, singer/songwriter Sam Hunt has had seemingly overnight success. Though he’s only released a single album—Montevallo—up until this point, he’s earned incredible acclaim for chart-topping hits such as “Leave the Night On,” “House Party,” and “Take Your Time.” His single “Body Like a Back Road,” from his upcoming second studio album, has become his most successful song to date. In June 2017, Hunt broke a 55-year-old record previously held by Leroy Van Dyke, as the solo artist with the longest run at the top of the Hot Country chart. He’s received recognition from both inside and outside of the country music community for blending elements of pop and R&B into the production and writing of his songs. The boundary-breaking artist has also been nominated for numerous awards in just a few years, taking home the American Music Award for New Artist of the Year, among others. Sam Hunt is undoubtedly one of the hottest concerts in 2018, so don’t long wait to get your tickets.
Born in Georgia, Sam Hunt first planned pursuing on a professional football career. He played quarterback for both Middle Tennessee and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and even went so far as to secure a training spot with the Kansas City Chiefs. Yet, he continued to find himself drawn more and more to music, and, after graduation, he decided to make the move Nashville instead. Within a few years, he had a publishing deal, writing songs for the likes of Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, and Reba McEntire. In 2014, he signed his own recording deal with MCA Nashville and released Montevallo in August of that same year. Since then, his career hasn’t been slowing down. He soon began touring with top acts such as Lady Antebellum, Hunter Hayes, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, and Little Big Town. In 2018, he’s hitting the road yet again alongside fellow star Luke Bryan. Country fans are clamoring to see the 2 together in concert, so get your tickets today before they sell out.
