Sammy Kershaw
Guest Artist
Sammy Kershaw was born in 1958, in Abbeville, La., and raised in Kaplan, La. His father died when he was 11, so Sammy worked a variety of jobs by day while playing roadhouses at night to support his family. He opened shows for Ray Price, Merle Haggard, and George Jones while barely into his teens.
One of Kershaw's demo tapes made its way to Mercury Records, which ultimately released his debut album in 1991. His traditional country voice found a receptive audience in the early 1990s, with hits like "Cadillac Style," "She Don't Know She's Beautiful," 'I Can't Reach Her Anymore," and the remake of "Third Rate Romance." His 1999 duet with Lorrie Morgan, "Maybe Not Tonight," cracked the Top 20. He released the album I Want My Money Back on Audium Records in 2003. His album Honky Tonk Boots was released in 2006 followed by Red, White & Blue and Beer, Bait & Ammo.
Sammy was recently inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame. The hit singer/songwriter joins past inductees including; Louis Armstrong, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Webb Pierce, and others.
Sammy has just finished recording his new, Buddy Cannon (Kenny Chesney) produced album which will be released in May 2010. His first single from the project is “Better Than I Used to Be.”
