Iconic entertainer Sammy Kershaw has amassed three platinum and six gold albums, with over 5 million records and nearly 100 million songs sold through scans and streams. Often called the "heir apparent” to legendary country voice George Jones, the GRAMMY-nominated artist helped define the ‘90s as a golden era for country music. Hits like “She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful,” “Queen of My Doublewide Trailer,” “I Can’t Reach Her Anymore,” “National Working Woman’s Holiday,” “Love Of My Life,” and “Cadillac Style” propelled his albums to multi-platinum status.

Raised in Kaplan, Louisiana, Kershaw was inspired early on by artists like Conway Twitty, Mel Street, and especially George Jones—so much so that as a teenager, he was already opening for such stars and often invited by Jones to share the stage. From the moment his Mercury Records debut “Cadillac Style” hit the airwaves, comparisons to Jones were inevitable, but Kershaw leaned into them, delivering a pure, traditional country sound that resonated with fans and critics alike. His continued success with songs like “Yard Sale,” “Meant to Be,” “Third Rate Romance,” and “Love of My Life” solidified his reputation as one of the finest balladeers of his time, with albums like Don’t Go Near the Water and Haunted Heartcertified million-sellers.

Today, Kershaw remains a powerful live performer, headlining his own tours and joining Collin Raye and Aaron Tippin for the popular Roots & Boots Tour across North America. Beyond the stage, he’s actively recording new music with three albums in development and is putting the finishing touches on his long-awaited autobiography, promising rich stories from a career full of highs and lows. For Kershaw, the journey continues—not to rest on past success, but to keep striving to be, as one of his songs puts it, “Better Than I Used to Be.”
