Luke is Country Music's Next Superstar!
"I knew there was something special about Luke Bryan the first time I saw him in concert. I remember it like it was yesterday�It was Halloween night in 2007 at the Jacksonville, FL Fair. Luke had released his debut album, I�ll Stay Me, just weeks prior and �All My Friends Say� was just beginning to make its way up the charts. Even though there were only about 50 people in the audience that night, Luke put on a high-energy show that had everyone up on their feet. From that moment on, I knew he was going to be a star. In fact, when I met him that night, I told him so.
Since that October night at the fair, I�ve watched Luke go from playing crowds of 50 to crowds 500, 1,000, and now, to audiences of 8,000+. I�ve watched him grow as a musician, an entertainer and a songwriter. I�ve watched his singles climb the charts time and time again and I�ve cheered him on as he accepted awards for ACM Top New Artist and CMT Breakthrough Video of the Year. I�ve watched his fan-base continue grow exponentially and I�ve seen him earn Gold albums and Platinum singles.
All of these moments came full circle for me last week when I saw Luke headline back-to-back nights of �CMT ON TOUR: Luke Bryan Tailgates & Tanlines� in Southaven, MS and Auburn, AL. I got a bit emotional when I saw thousands of fans on their feet screaming and singing along to every word. It�s amazing to see someone�s career take off the way Luke�s has and the best part is, this is only just the beginning for him.
Luke Bryan was born to entertain. He has that �spark�, the �it factor�, and he�s on his way to becoming the next country music superstar. I�ve been saying this for years and it�s wonderful to see that so many others now see what I saw in Luke back in 2007 in Jacksonville, FL."
