“Imagine a dirt road full of potholes, with a creek bank and some cane poles,” and Easton Corbin will tell you he’s a little more country than that.
One of country music’s hottest rising stars will take the stage at Lake Winnepesaukah on Sunday for two shows, performing music from his self-titled debut CD.
“We’re thrilled to be hosting Easton Corbin. He is the first male newcomer on country charts to reach No. 1 with a debut single in six and a half years,” said Talley Green, Lake Winnie spokeswoman. “The last was Dierks Bentley with ‘What Was I Thinking?'”
On his website, Corbin says his hit reflects the rural life in which he grew up.
“This song identifies who I am. It shows character, and that’s important where I’m from. You learn to say ‘Yes, ma’am’ and ‘No, sir’ and to open the door for ladies,” he states.
