Biografia
Sam Hunt originally began his career in the sporting world as a college quarterback however shortly after graduating he began to pursue songwriting. His commercial break came in 2012 when he penned Kenny Chesney's 'Come Over' which was recognised with an award from ASCAP. His music takes huge influence from Brad Paisley whilst the songwriter has also cited artists from various genres including Billy Currington, Usher and K-Ci and JoJo as inspiration.
In 2014 he decided to pursue his own music after an early EP appeared at #5 on the US Country charts and sold over 25,000 units. He followed this in October with his debut album 'Montevallo' which topped the US Country chart and peaked at #3 on the Billboard chart and has sold 125,000 units to date.
His first single 'Leave The Light On' was a momentous success for his label MCA. It topped the Country charts in both the US and Canada and peaked at #30 on the Billboard hot 100. It has sold over 800,000 copies since its release in 2014. Almost every one of the tracks on the album has charted on the Country chart despite not receiving an official single release, 'Break Up In A Small Town' has sold over 150,000 copies.

Starting out as a college football player, Sam Hunt made the transition to his singer/songwriter career only a few short years ago back in 2012 when he co-wrote Kenny Chesney’s single, Come Over. After receiving an award from this, he thought about performing his own material, and began writing music that he could play and accompany himself on the piano or guitar.
He opened his acoustic set with his single Raised On It, which was the first song he released as a single for himself. He accompanied himself in his acoustic guitar, and seeing him live really revealed what a talented musician he is, as he seemed to pluck and strum the instrument effortlessly, creating wonderful music. He had with him another guitarist, playing some intertwining harmonies, that really added to the ambience of his music.
He played through his mixtaped and EPs, as well as his singles from this years charts, Break Up in A Small Town, and House Party. These went down really well, and he got everyone in the audience singing along right away. He put on a fantastic show, and I was sad to see it end, but will definitely be seeing him again!

At a stature of 6 foot 3, it is pretty easy to see how Sam Hunt was originally destined for a career in football as he strides onto the stage. Many of his fans tonight will be very glad his sporting career did not take off as he may never have then turned to country music which he has an equally successful grasp of. Although he only released his debut in 2014, it was an instant hit in the US and Canada so his shows are already taking place on large stages yet this does not seem to phase Sam.
He has a fantastic down to earth mannerism and is one of the politest performers whilst playing. He is also very sincere as he passionately annunciates the lyrics on 'We Are Tonight'. The crowd goes absolutely wild at the finale of every single track and their dedication and adoration is clearly amusing to the unassuming performer who does not quite know how to tackle this as of yet. Simple thank yous followed by favourites such as 'Leave the Night On' and 'Take Your Time' seem to do the job perfectly tonight and he leaves the stage to yet more rapturous applause.

Sexy, talented and a gifted writer. Was great to see him in concert. Sadly we thought we had gotten there early enough to get a decent spot...wrong! 30 mins after doors open it was jammed! My least favorite part was what appears to be a 909 ghetto a-hole/ HB Bro following of fans. I've yet to be at a concert where these girls and GUYS were so rude pushy and just straight a-holes (got told F U to my face after some dude pushes me and steps on my foot) Never had that at a Downtown Disney concert. So it was interesting to see the large portion of this type of fan. This will make me be more mindful of the types of seats or venues when coming to see him. But of course not all bad, some classy country fans in the mix too

He was fantastic in concert !! Sounded exactly the same live and his energy and crowd participation was amazing! I will definitely go see him again soon. He took pictures with fans while performing as well as continued to have high energy despite horrendous south texas heat.

It was our first concert in USA. It was a gift from our cousins. We come from Italy, we were on holiday, it was amazing. We loved it! Wonderful voice. Big surprise. Now we listen to him in Italy. Great!

Great show. Sam managed to create an intimate feel while he talked about his musical journey to a sold out crowd at red rocks. There was a surprising variety in music and lots of energy!
