Hello collegiettes™!

Country music’s newest and hottest voice Sam Hunt, recently dropped his first CD “Montevallo” and released his “Lipstick & Graffiti” tour dates.

Sam Hunt, born and raised in Cedartown, Georgia was an athlete prior to becoming a country musician. Before making it in the music industry, Hunt was the quarterback for the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Hunt was scouted by the Kansas City Chiefs, but knew if professional football did not work out the music industry was his second option.

Now, Sam Hunt can be found on tour opening for Kip Moore and his songs such as “Leave the Night On,” are topping the charts. Set aside from writing “Montevallo,” Hunt has also written chart toppers for Kenny Chesney (Come Over) and Keith Urban (Cop Car).
