Possessing one of the smoothest and most distinct voices in any genre of music, Currington is equally skilled at delivering upbeat summertime anthems as well as exploring the complexities of life and love with a poignant ballad. On Summer Forever, Currington\u2019s sixth studio album, he brings both with a collection of songs that will take the listener on a riveting musical journey and leave them breathless at the end of the ride.<\/p>\n<p>Since his self-titled debut album bowed on Mercury Records in 2003, Currington has scored eleven career No. 1 singles, most recently, \u201cDon\u2019t Hurt Like It Used To.\u201d His other hits that reached the No. 1 spot include such memorable songs as \u201cGood Directions,\u201d \u201cLet Me Down Easy,\u201d \u201cMust Be Doin\u2019 Somethin\u2019 Right,\u201d \u201cPeople Are Crazy,\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s How Country Boys Roll,\u201d \u201cHey Girl,\u201d and \u201cWe Are Tonight.\u201d Over the years, the self-effacing Georgia boy has amassed an impressive list of accolades. He won the \u201cHottest Video of the Year\u201d honor at the fan-voted CMT Music Awards for \u201cMust Be Doin\u2019 Somethin\u2019 Right\u201d in 2006. The same year, he received an ACM nod for Top New Male Vocalist. His hit duet with Shania Twain, \u201cParty for Two,\u201d earned nominations from both the CMA and ACM. \u201cPeople Are Crazy\u201d took Currington\u2019s already hot career to another level. He earned Grammy nominations for Male Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song in addition to being nominate for Single and Song of the Year from the Country Music Association.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Eli Young Band<\/strong><br \/>\nELI YOUNG BAND has always been unique in modern Country music \u2013 a true band of brothers who play their own instruments, write their own songs and cling fast to their Texas roots. With LOVE TALKING out now via The Valory Music Co., they embrace what makes them different once and for all. Overall, lead singer Mike Eli found himself writing more than 150 songs in the time since the GRAMMY-nominated band released THIS IS ELI YOUNG BAND: GREATEST HITS in 2019. On LOVE TALKING, he joins forces with Nashville stalwarts Jimmy Robbins, Laura Veltz, Josh Osborne, Jon Nite and more. Also finding a home on the album is the sentimental \u201cLucky For Me\u201d and tongue-in-cheek \u201cBreak Up In A Bar.\u201d Eli founded the band with guitarist James Young, bassist Jon Jones and drummer Chris Thompson at the University of North Texas in 2000, steadily building a grassroots fanbase that propelled four No. 1 singles and gave the band an edgy, romantically-charged identity (4X PLATINUM \u201cCrazy Girl,\u201d 2X PLATINUM \u201cEven If It Breaks Your Heart\u201d and PLATINUM \u201cLove Ain\u2019t\u201d and \u201cDrunk Last Night \u201c).<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Hannah Ellis<\/strong><br \/>\nCurb Records recording artist and country music singer\/songwriter Hannah Ellis\u2019 journey \u2013 and world \u2013 is one all can feel at home in. The Campbellsville, Kentucky-native\u2019s voice &#8211; a mix of favorite flannel, sparkling pink wine and welcome &#8211; is the friend we always wanted. Whether pouring from a car radio or your phone, the act named to Rolling Stone Country\u2019s \u201cArtist To Watch\u201d list reminds you big leaps often come as a series of small steps when no one is looking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Special Guest The Eli Young Band and Hannah Ellis Mankato, MN \u2013 Billy Currington is coming to the Vetter Stone Amphitheater on Saturday, September 23rd with special guests Eli Young Band and Hannah Ellis.
