It all started when Thomas Rhett Atkins Jr. was old enough to go on stage with his father, Rhett Atkins, and play the drums for him. The band was put together in high school called The High Heeled Flip Flops. After high school, Rhett went to college at Lipscomb University in Nashville Tennessee and played as a member of Tau Phi for their cowboy show. It was from this experience that he grew used to big crowds and commanding the audience.
Rhett co-wrote the song “I Ain’t Ready to Quit” on Jason Aldeans’ 2010 album, “My Kinda Party” and then signed a contract with Big Machine Records, Valory Music Group division in 2011. He released his debut single “Something to Do with My Hands” which was released on February 21st 2012, with a music video too. The song reached number 15 on the US Hot Country Songs. His follow up single “Beer With Jesus” was released on September 4th 2012, and reached number 1 on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. It wasn’t until his song “It Goes Like This” released on May 6th 2013, that Rhett got the success that he deserved, with the song going Platinum, and making it to number 1 on the US Country Airplay chart, it also became the title track of his debut album, which was released on October 29th 2013. The albums’ fourth single “Get Me Some of That” became Rhett’s second number 1 single.
Rhett has also co written the 2013 singles “1994” by Jason Aldean, “Parking Lot Party” by Lee Brice and “Round Here” by Florida Georgia Line.
Morgan Wallen put on a Great Show last night opening for Jake Owen and David Lee Murphy. His distinctive voice has you hooked from the very first song. He is all over the stage with some great moves. He keeps you smiling from start to finish. He sang his hits plus some songs from his album “If I Know Me” and an outstanding version of You Give Love A Bad Name. After his last song, I just wanted to hear more!! This guy should be headlining!! I’d be first in line to get tickets!!
What can be more American than listening to country music on the 4th of July? Nothing.
Thomas Rhett can turn anyone into a country fan by simply attending one of his concerts. At only 24 he has succeeded in having two hit songs, but while he's on stage you can see that he's just average guy enjoying the moment and having a good time. He utlizes the whole stage, and invites a few lucky souls to join him at certain points. He also loves to shake those hips of his, so be prepared to dance when you go to one of his concerts.
His songs are extemely catchy and easy to sing along with, so be prepared...the whole audience will be singing with him. Just when you think it couldn't get louder he will start singing some classic oldies that will make the venue erupt.
He makes the whole audience feel like they're at a neighborhood block party with a bunch of good friends, which is why his songs like "Front Porch Junkies" and "Sorry For Partying" are so entertaining to hear.
If you hate dancing, happiness, and being surrounded by friendly people who are enjoying life...Thomas Rhett is not for you. If you're the opposite then buy your tickets now. You won't regret it. You can tell a good artist when you leave the concert thinking that he or she was better in person than on his cd. He's album is great, but it's worth every penny plus some to see him in person. Thomas Rhett is a country singer that appeals to everyone because of fun, upbeat energy. Buy your tickets now, and see for yourself.
