TULSA, Okla. – Easton Corbin has been gracing stages with his memorable baritone and unique blend of traditional and modern country music for more than a decade. Now he’s on his way to Oklahoma to perform at Hard Rock Live inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa on Saturday, Dec. 9, at 8 p.m.
Tickets start at $29.50 and go on sale July 28.
The Florida native, who boasts two No. 1 singles with “A Little More Country Than That” and “Roll With It,” embarks on a new musical chapter with his recent signing to Stone Country Records. Corbin teams with industry veterans Benny Brown, Paul Brown and Jason Sellers as the label’s flagship artist.
Corbin says he and Music Row mainstay Benny Brown initially met and bonded over their mutual love of traditional country music. No stranger to the writing room himself, Corbin has penned songs with Sellers ahead of signing with the independent label. The singer, who has spent several years as an independent artist following nearly a decade with Mercury Nashville, says he’s in a great position being Stone Country’s flagship artist.
Corbin’s neotraditional sound shines through on “I Can’t Decide,” his debut single for the label, which is a song he wrote three years ago with producer Wade Kirby and esteemed songwriters Ashley Gorley and Rhett Akins. Soaring pedal steel and car-grabbing fiddle accompaniment combined with a driving beat, plucked guitar rhythms and Corbin’s warm baritone further accentuate the up-tempo song.
Easton continues to write with longtime producer Carson Chamberlain as well as Kirby, Shane Minor, Adam Craig and Wyatt McCubbin, who he penned the romantic wedding song “Marry That Girl” with.
He believes in writing music that is authentic by “keeping one foot in traditional and one foot in the modern and marrying those two.” Corbin has been successful with this throughout his career. Corbin has amassed seven top 10 singles and three American Country Awards. Named Billboard’s 2010 Top New Country Artist, Corbin has never shied away from his traditional roots with Your Big Sky complimenting his “unapologetic and unwavering traditional country sound.” His self-titled debut album was named Country Breakthrough Album of the Year by iTunes Rewind Best of 2010 while American Songwriter has complimented the singer’s “warm, smooth-as-gravy-southern drawl.”
