This Sumter-born country crooner received a football scholarship to Clemson University. After an arm injury, he decided to focus on his music career. This was a wise decision. The 32-year-old has since scored two top ten hits on the country charts—“Love Like Crazy” and “A Woman Like You.” Show our fellow South Carolinian some love and you’ll be rewarded with a great concert.
