ALABAMA – Alabama, retired for a number of years after taking America by storm for decades, recording 43 #1 singles and 21 #1 singles in a row, a record that may never be equaled in any genre, has returned! No doubt, Alabama will bring terrific music to the 2015 SRJ! Better get your tickets early…this could be a sell-out! Alabama’s hits and accomplishments over the years are so numerous it would take hours to list! Some of Alabama’s hits include “Song of the South,” “Mountain Music,” “If You’re Gonna Play in Texas,” “I’m In A Hurry (And I Don’t Know Why),” “Dixieland Delight,” “Love In The First Degree,” and on and on!
RODNEY ATKINS – Rodney Atkins is an award-winning country music singer/songwriter with six number one hits from his first three albums, from “Watching You” and “These Are My People” to his most recent smashes, “Take A Back Road,” and “Farmer’s Daughter,” (which quickly skyrocketed to platinum,) and he’s sold over four million singles in the past five years alone. Other hits include “It’s America,” “Cleaning This Gun (Come On In Boy)” and “If You’re Going Through Hell (Before the Devil Even Knows).” His fourth studio album, Take A Back Road, yielded Atkins’ fastest-rising single to date. The first single, “Eat Sleep Love You Repeat,” is currently on country radio.
CHRIS YOUNG – Chris Young has accomplished more by 29 than some artists do in a lifetime. Already a Grammy-nominated recording artist, he’s also a dynamic live performer consistently in demand, an international ambassador for his genre, a talented songwriter with six #1 songs to his name (by the way, he wrote four of them) and a handsome charmer to boot. Some of his hits are “Lonely Eyes,” which is currently #13 on Billboard’s Top 50 Country songs, “Aw Naw,” “The Man I Want To Be,” “Tomorrow,” “You,” and “Voices.” When all is said and done, it only takes two words to sum up the career of Chris Young: definitely country. He has received plenty of Grammy, ACM, and CMA nomination and was recently named one of the summer’s top tour openers by Entertainment Weekly.
JOHN ANDERSON – Florida artist John Anderson is well-known to SRJ fans as he’s been one of the most popular country artists in the USA and at the SRJ over the years with multiple performances! Known for his super hits in country music such as “I’m Just an Old Chunk of Coal (But I’m Gonna Be a Diamond Someday),” “Wild and Blue,” “Swingin’,” “Straight Tequila Night,” “When It Comes to You,” “Long Black Veil,” “Chicken Truck,” “Seminole Wind” and “Money in the Bank,” John has won numerous awards, including the CMA Horizon Award, was nominated for a Grammy as well as Male Vocalist, Song of the Year and Album of the Year.
COREY SMITH – Corey, born and raised in Jefferson, Ga., has carved out a successful career by writing and singing not about the idealized country imagery of trucks and bonfires, but by depicting truthfully the experience of growing up far from big-city sidewalks. Corey recently recorded “Ain’t Going Out Tonight” for his ninth album. Corey has amassed an unfailingly devout fan base all around the nation. He was named as one of Live Nation’s “Ones to Watch” Touring Headliners in 2013, shared the stage with Darius Rucker and his “Ain’t Going Out Tonight” was featured as a “Highway Find” on Sirius XM.
