Sturgill Simpson Tickets
John Sturgill Simpson was born in Kentucky in a small town of Jackson on June 8, 1978 but grew up in Versailles. John is a singer and songwriter. First, he became famous among the independent country music fans. He performed as the frontman of “Sunday Valley” band. Sturgill tried to restore the neo-traditional sounds used by the Kentuckians Ricky Skaggs and Keith Whitley in the '80s. His first proper solo debut, “High Top Mountain” (2013), was a collection of hard country songs that resemble the creativity of Waylon Jennings.
About Sturgill Simpson
“Sunday Valley”
Sturgill created the band “Sunday Valley”, which included Adam Davis (guitar), Kevin Black (bass), and Miles Miller (drums) in 2004. They performed in Portland, Oregon's Pickathon Festival in 2011. The group was disbanded in 2012.Solo Career
In 2012, Simpson begins to perform as a solo artist and starts working on the album “High Top Mountain”. “High Top Mountain” was a real hit. It helped to establish Simpson's country recognition, to open the door to his successful future. His track “Life Ain't Fair and the World Is Mean” succeeded to add to the outlaw canon and not just merely to imitate it. His experiments with the sound and words – widening the boundaries of the chosen genre and dealing with such topics as physics and evolution – became evident in the record “Turtles (All the Way Down).” As a result, his next disk “Metamodern Sounds in Country Music” was issued in 2014. It was included in the Top 10 of the main country charts. A Grammy Award nominee followed. In 2015, Sturgill was named Artist of the Year by Americana Music Awards. In 2016, Simpson lets out “Brace for Impact (Live a Little),” his first track from the full-length “A Sailor's Guide to Earth” (2016) album. He produced the disc himself.Sturgill Simpson tour dates
