Details: Rising country artist Frankie Ballard will kick off the New Year with a performance of his smash hit “Sunshine & Whiskey.” This marks the talented singer-guitarist’s second consecutive GOLD-certified #1 hit from his current album SUNSHINE & WHISKEY. Ballard will also give a sneak peek of his brand new single “Young & Crazy” that will hit country radio later this month.
Ballard is on the rise with his current album SUNSHINE & WHISKEY (Warner Bros. Records) delivering consecutive #1, GOLD-certified smashes “Helluva Life” and “Sunshine & Whiskey,” debuting in the Top 5 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart and garnering critical acclaim as “required listening” byROLLING STONE. Produced by Marshall Altman (Marc Broussard), the project captures Ballard’s unique blend of blues-infused, country rock and his undeniable guitar prowess on every song. The talented singer-guitarist made the move to Nashville in 2009 from Battle Creek, MI, to pursue music. He drew on his working class values, performing every chance he could, honing his guitar and songwriting skills. He steadily built a loyal fan base and took the time to grow as an artist and an individual. All of these experiences culminated in selling over 1.4 million tracks to date. Just off the road from his first headlining run – LIGHT ‘EM UP TOUR – as part of the exclusive Live Nation Ones To Watch with Skype, the talented showman will amp it up even further next year on Florida Georgia Line’s 2015 ANYTHING GOES Tour. A road warrior, Ballard has previously opened for Jake Owen, Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney, Taylor Swift and longtime idol Bob Seger. For tour dates and more, check out FrankieBallard.com.
