Josh Turner

Josh Turner

The smash hit of 2004, “Long Black Train” vaulted singer/songwriter Josh Turner into far-reaching popularity and acclaim. Hit singles like “Firecracker,” “Another Try,” “Your Man,” “Would You Go With Me” and “Me and God” have continued to expand Turner’s fan base.

A native of South Carolina, Josh Turner made his vocal debut at the Grand Ole Opry in December 2001. After two standing ovations at the Grand Ole Opry, Turner went on to record and release his first album, “Long Black Train,” which sold over one million copies. His second album, “Your Man,” was one of four albums to sell over two million copies. The title song and the single, “Would You Go with Me,” reached number-one on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart.

In October 2007, Turner became one of the youngest artists to be inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. This year, he was nominated for the Country Music Association’s Male Vocalist of the Year.

Turner’s latest album, “Everything is Fine,” was released in October 2007 and debuted at number five on Billboard’s Top 200 chart. The album sold nearly 85,000 copies the first week and has since been awarded gold certification.

In less than 10 years, singer/songwriter Craig Morgan has managed to start a successful career as one of America’s most popular country music stars with hit singles including, “That’s What I Love About Sunday,” “Redneck Yacht Club” and his most recent “International Harvester.” To date, he has released four solo albums and 10 top-forty hit singles.

A United States Army veteran, Morgan served 10 years of active duty before beginning a whirlwind country music career in 1999. His first self-titled album debuted the following year. His top-ten hit song, “Almost Home,” climbed in popularity alongside his second album, “I Love It.”

Morgan experienced a breakthrough year in 2005 with the release of his third album, “My Kind of Livin’,” which sold over half of a million copies. The hit song, “That’s What I Love About Sunday,” enjoyed five weeks at number-one before ending 2005 as country radio’s most played song of the year.

In 2006, Morgan was nominated as the Academy of Country Music’s New Male Vocalist of the Year. The release of his fourth album, “Little Bit of Life,” that year launched another round of top-ten hit songs including the title track and “International Harvester.”

Today, Morgan’s popularity keeps him busy with over 200 tour dates annually. He continues to perform in a slew of impressive venues including the Grand Ole Opry and a variety of military bases both here and abroad.
