MySpace Artist Of The Week: Sean Nelson

Sean Nelson To kickoff our MySpace Artist of the Week column, we’re featuring Sean Nelson. Based off his MySpace profile he comes from Georgia, but currently resides in Alabama and plays live shows all over the southeast with his band, The Road Dawgs. More from his MySpace profile:

Sean was born and raised in south rural Georgia where he graduated with a class of less than one hundred. And not one of them, not one, knew he could sing. Not really sing. Like most southerners he grew up in the church and did sing in the choir but never alone. Until one day, when he was hangin’ with some friends and they joked “Lets start a band!” And then low and behold they did! Thus the Young Guns were born! A true southern rock group! And they had a great following, even opened for Molly Hatchet! But at that same time, a “newcomer” named Garth Brooks was doing big things in country music and for the first time in his life, the self proclaimed southern rocker, turned his ear to the music of his family roots. He was turned on to the likes of Marty Stuart, Alan Jackson, and Travis Tritt along with Garth and he knew the band should go country. And only by default was he convinced to actually SING alone! Noone else knew the words to a whole country song. He took a deep breath and that was all she wrote… SEAN NELSON became a lead singer!

After listening to the songs on his profile I was reminded a little bit of Tim Mcgraw, not so much by the way he sounds, but the style of songs he sings makes the listender feel as though his songs could easily be McGraw’s.

He’s been blessed enough to have shared the stage with Billy Ray Cyrus, David Allen Coe, Trent Wilmon, Brad Cotter, Daryle Singletary, Keith Anderson, Craig Hand, Billy Joe Royal, Exile, John Anderson, Rhett Akins, Jason Aldean, the Nashville Star Tour and Mark Chesnutt!
