Carrie Underwood biography

Carrie Underwood (born March 10, 1983) is an American singer, songwriter and actress from Muskogee, Oklahoma, in the United States.

Underwood’s rise to fame came after winning the fourth season of ‘American Idol’ in 2005, launching the singer into country-music stardom. After the victory and the subsequent Idols Live Tour, Underwood released her debut single “Inside Your Heaven" which immediately debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the only country single of the decade to do so. The singer’s debut maintained much the same appeal, “Some Heart” released in 2005 sold over 300,000 copies in its first week, stayed in the chart for over two years and eventually certified platinum seven times over.

As a result the singer became highly acclaimed and received an intimidatingly-high number of coveted awards including Single Record of the Year for “Jesus, Take the Wheel” from the Academy of Country Music, a Dove Award from the Gospel Music Association and five trophies courtesy of the Billboard Music Awards among many others. Into 2007 the singer was still releasing singles from her debut album including “Wasted” and after a couple of Grammy wins the same year she issued her sophomore release “Carnival Ride” in October 2007.

“Carnival Ride” which debuted at No. 1, produced the four hit singles “So Small”, “All American Girl”, “Last Name” and “Just A Dream”. Underwood’s third studio effort “Play On” took the singer in a much more rooted songwriting position, co-writing seven on the album’s tracks including the lead single “Blown Away”. The album was released in early 2012, was produced by long-term contributor Mark Bright and featured the singles “Temporary Home” and "Undo It”.

Despite the singer’s modest show of releases, Underwood has earned a significant spread of awards including inductions into the Grand Ole Opry in 2008 and into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame, winning six Grammy Awards, sixteen Billboard Music Awards, 11 Academy of Country Music Awards and eight American Music Awards.

Live reviews

Country music sensation Carrie Underwood is an elusive visitor to the shores of the United Kingdom so when her loyal fan base has the opportunity to catch the chanteuse live they appear in their thousands. Rising to fame way back when she won the fourth season of American Idol, the singer has been releasing material ever since with her enchanting vocal.

Only her latest album 'Blown Away' made it onto the UK charts yet her dedicated fan base sings along to old singles such as 'So Small' and 'All-American Girl'. Carrie develops a rapport with her crowd from the offset, telling them stories behind the meaning of tracks and why they had been chosen for the setlist that evening. A special airing of 'Leave Love Alone' received huge applause from the baying masses.

Her live band supports Carrie profusely, whether it be with enthusiastic vigour during 'Jesus, Take The Wheel' or subtly playing as accompaniment on 'Flat On The Floor' as the songstress allows her vocal to shine. She may be elusive, but Carrie Underwood performs a show that is sure to delight her fans enough to wait until the next time.

Charles Esten was part of the Nashville farewell tour and was fabulous - loved him. He was great fun. He got the crowd joining in, talked to us about his experiences over the last 6 years filming Nashville and sang some great songs

In a marketplace as saturated as that of American country music, you’re going to need certain attributes if you’re going to meet with any serious success; Randy Travis happens to have them in spades. During the late eighties, his powerful voice, undeniable charisma and intelligent blend of typical country stylings with something of a rock edge helped him to a slew of chart hits, including ‘Diggin’ Up Bones’ and ‘No Place Like Home’; he’d go on to win the Grammy Award for Best Male Country performance twice in a row, and off the back of that success, his third album, Old 8x10, went platinum, staying at the top of the country charts for no fewer than forty-three weeks. Travis remained a popular fixture on the U.S. live circuit for years after his commercial peak, with a significant cult fanbase across the country; his sets were often exercises in nostalgia, leaning heavily on his classic material. His career was derailed in 2012 by a string of legal issues, and last year, he suffered a life-threatening stroke that has prevented him from singing since; fans will doubtless be hoping he can one day make it back to where he belongs - the stage.
