See Charlie Worsham on a stage and you immediately understand what he
understood from the beginning: It's where he's meant to be. For him,
music wasn't just a thing, it was the only thing. "I kind of feel like
I didn't have much choice. The songs... the playing... those were the
only things that ever really kept my attention." As a ridiculously
talented multi-instrumentalist and student of great songs, he's
developed a unique modern country sound built around the traditional
acoustic instruments he grew up on. Starting in his hometown of
Grenada, Mississippi, Charlie was always out playing somewhere. From
the Opry at age twelve to the local Missionary Baptist Church to the
back-road blues joints he wasn't even supposed to know about, much
less play in, wherever he found a stage, he played. And when he wasn't
playing, he was listening to everything from Don Williams to Tom Petty
to Earl Scruggs. With his energy and showmanship onstage and his
understated Mississippi "yes sir" and "no ma'am" offstage, it's easy
to understand why so many in Nashville's music community are rooting
for him. Charlie is currently writing and recording to finish out his
major label debut album for Warner Music Nashville. After studying at
Berklee School of Music in Boston, he moved South to Nashville. For
the last two years, he's divided his time between writing songs, being
an in-demand studio musician for other artists and playing his music
live - sharing stages across the country with Taylor Swift, Miranda
Lambert and others. Sponsored by Jackson National Life Presented by
