Artist Information
It was a guitar he found in his grandmother’s closet that launched Taylorsville, Kentucky, native JD Shelburne on his impressive musical journey. He took it back to college, and within a year, friends were urging him to play local clubs. By the time he graduated, JD was ready to move to Nashville, and his talent, charisma, and tireless work ethic have led since then to a wealth of accomplishments and accolades.
He has shared bills with ZZ Top, Marty Stuart, Craig Morgan, and Steve Wariner among many others, appeared on stage and on record with The Oak Ridge Boys, and performed at over a hundred fairs and festivals across the eastern U.S. He has taken songs to the iTunes Country Top Ten, debuted as the #1 trending artist on CMT.com, and been featured in People, American Songwriter, Country Weekly magazine and more. He has had eight straight videos land on CMT, including two #1’s on the 12-Pack Countdown, “Church Pew Barstool” and “Cars & Trucks.” He has performed at NASCAR, MLB, NBA, and NCAA events, and been featured on CBS, NBC, GAC, FOX, RFD-TV and TNN.
A proud Kentuckian, JD has appeared on the cover of the Kentucky Tourism Visitors Guide and at the Kentucky Derby and earned a four-year display at the Kentucky Hall of Fame & Museum.
JD is about to release his seventh album, Raised on the Good Stuff, and now, with his appearance at the Grand Ole Opry, he is fulfilling a lifelong dream.
