Biographie de Billy Currington

With eight number 1 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, five studio albums and a Grammy nomination under his belt, Country singer-songwriter Billy Currington aka William Matthew Currington (born 19 November 1973) from Georgia, US is rapidly making a name for himself a country star.

His foray into music like most country singers began at church where he was invited by the preacher to sing at services and soon impressed members of the congregation as they asked him to join their band projects. After a failed audition for music theme park Opryland, at 18 Currington migrated to the home of country music, Nashville to chase his dreams of becoming a country star. Taking odd jobs here and there, Currington slugged it out working as a personal trainer during the day and performing in bars and clubs at night. The move to Nashville introduced him to several key players who helped him develop his songwriting skills.

In 2003, Currington signed with Mercury Records Nashville to release his debut self-titled album. Catching the attention of critics and audiences alike with his impressive storytelling, drawing from real life experiences and turning it into something beautiful saw the album peak at number 17 in the US Country Album charts. The lead single “Walk a Little Straighter”, a tale of Currington’s relationship with his alcoholic and abusive step-father peaked in the charts at number eight, cementing his promise as a rising country star.

The following year Currington appeared alongside Shania Twain for the hit single “Party for Two”. In 2005 he released his follow up album “Doin’ Something Right” which peaked at number two in the Top Country Album charts certifying platinum. The album featured the number singles “Must Be Doin’ Something Right” and “Good Directions”. Clearly doing something right, in 2006 he received a CMT Music Award for Hottest Video of the Year with “Must Be Doin’ Something Right”.

After a run of extensive touring, towards the end of 2007 Currington caught a bout of laryngitis which forced him to cancel the remaining tour dates and saw his absence from the scene for almost a year. In 2008 Currington returned fighting fit to release his third album “Little Bit of Everything” peaking at number two in the charts. While supporting the release of the album, in 2009 Currington performed at the Big Valley Jamboree in Alberta, US where a freak wind storm interrupted his set causing him concussion, injuring his bass player and killed an audience member.

With subsequent album releases “Enjoy Yourself” (2010), “We Are Tonight” (2013) and “Don’t Do It” (2014) has seen Currington’s precedence as he continues climbing into the big leagues as an established country star proving dreams really do come to fruition.

Review a Billy Currington concert? Where do I begin?

I've been a fan of Billy's for years. I've attended over 20 shows to date and the second those house lights go down and that intro music starts, the crowd goes absolutely wild in anticipation for this beach bum, country boy from Georgia with a voice that once you hear it, you can't get enough! His presence up on that stage and the way he interacts with his fans on such a personal level is truly amazing.

Billy and his band are like a family......you see the smiles, the jokes and jestures they share between themselves during the show and you can't help but smile yourself. It's so obvious that they LOVE what they do and they truly want the crowd to have the best experience they can possibly have.

From the first strum of the guitar or beat of that drum it's high energy that doesn't let up until the end! Billy's songs are catchy, feel good songs that everyone in the crowd knows and sings along to (and if you don't know 'em when you get there, you sure will once you leave) He plays some of his number one hits like "That's How Country Boys Roll", "Pretty Good at Drinkin' Beer" and "Good Directions", but he also adds in some funky covers like "Blurred Lines" to put little spice in the show (and I must say his dance moves aren't too shabby either). Since the "We Are Tonight" album was released back in September 2013, Billy has added the title track "We Are Tonight" and the lead single "Hey Girl" to the set, which has him focusing less on the "country" and more on the soulful, sexy sound that he is so famous for.

Listen, I could go on and on about all the experiences I've had at each of my Billy shows, but you'll never truly "get it" until you see him and the band live for yourself! Get tickets to the next show in your area and get ready for the best concert experience you've ever had.....from start to finish, Billy leaves you wanting more!

He is an amazing artist with a true love for the music and for what he does. Believe me, you won't be disappointed. "Enjoy Yourself" and be safe. Peace
