Biografía de Sammy Kershaw

Sammy Kershaw is a singer/songwriter from Vermillion Parish, Louisiana, U.S who was born on February 24 1958. He has released ten albums since 1991 and is one of the most succesful artists in the history of the Billboard Country singles Charts, with 15 top 20 hits to his name.

There could easily be a biopic made about Sammy Kershaw’s life and career up until just before the release of his debut album. What’s more, it would still be one that could stand alongside Walk The Line and Ray in terms of dizzying personal successes and crushing failures even before showing Kershaw in the 1990’s, when he was one of the biggest Country stars in the U.S. After receiving his first guitar from his grandfather when he was eleven years old, Kershaw started dreaming of becoming a country singer like his third cousin, Doug Kershaw. Even his father passing away in the same year couldn’t stop Kershaw from chasing his dream, where he’d perform at local roadhouses after spending the whole day working to provide for his family.

It started to pay off as well, and after apprenticing under the Louisiana legend J.B. Pere, he started headlining at bigger and bigger local shows until he was supporting national stars like Merle Haggard and George Jones. However, he was still young, far too young to be that ensconced in the music industry, and he soon became mired in drug and alcohol addiction at around the same time that most kids his age would be learning to drive. He lost himself in a big way and spent the better part of a decade in a narcotic haze, until he finally saw a way out, and stepped away from music in 1988 to work in a Wal-Mart store. However, he didn’t stop writing and sending out demo tapes, and one of those tapes was picked up by Mercury Records, who signed him up for the release of his debut album “Don’t Go Near the Water” in 1991.

With nearly 20 years of music industry experience under his belt Kershaw knew exactly how to deal with the enormous success of his debut, which was certified Platinum soon after its release and carried four top 20 singles with it in the form of “Cadillac Style”, “Yard Sale”, its title track and “Anywhere But Here”. The rest of the 1990’s were extremely kind to Kershaw, with five of his six albums released that decade being certified Gold or Platinum, and ever since then, Kershaw has remained one of the most beloved names in country music. With a back catalogue rivalled by few other songwriters like him, and a live show fuelled with nearly forty years of experience, Sammy Kershaw comes highly recommended.

Sammy Kershaw is a country and western artist from Louisiana in the deep south of the United States. He takes to the stage to this huge festival crowd this afternoon, who have been waiting for the last hour, intently ready to witness Kershaw and his fantastic storytelling at work. He launches straight into one of his biggest hits, “Third Rate Romance”, being supported by two of his band members on acoustic guitars adding three part harmonies where necessary. “She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful” and “Cadillac Style” are songs that light up this crowd, getting everyone into the dancing spirit. With the audience now in the palm of his hands, singing along to every word of every song, he tries out some brand new material, and it works a treat with this audience, who are simply in the mood to soak up the country atmosphere around them. He finishes with the power ballad, “Love of My Life”

There’s only so long an artist can be happy writing songs for someone else. Eventually the allure of the spotlight is going to become too big to remain in the shadows and that’s when artists like Aaron Tippin rise to fame. After spending a few years as a Nashville songwriter, Aaron made the leap from writer to performer, getting signed after a Nashville nightclub show, and has never looked back.

Aaron’s shows are built around his rich Baritone voice. Often drawing Hank Williams comparisons, Aaron grumbles through his songs with a dominant, bassy tone, all spiced up by the Southern twang in his accent. His songs are patriotic and powerful and feel truly anthemic, especially when Aaron rouses the crowd into a sing along, standing strong with a Springsteen-esque swagger and owning the stage. When you see Aaron Tippin on stage you can tell he was never going to be able to remain in the shadows. He was born to perform and he makes sure he proves his right to the spotlight every night.
