SAWYER

BROWN It would certainly be an understatement to say Sawyer Brown has “played shows.” The band has earned its place as one of the premiere live acts in music. Tireless road warriors, the band thrives on playing live. “Live is where it all comes together for us,” keyboardist Hobie Hubbard says. “The audience brings its own energy, we bring our own energy and the music—and the combination of all of that is what makes playing live so unique. It exists for that moment in time—you’re either there, or you’re not a part of that moment. We’re blessed to be able to be a part of those moments night after night.” When asked about what keeps him motivated on the road, lead singer Mark Miller says, “It’s playing the next show. Be grateful for where you’ve been and be excited about where you’re going.” On Friday, July 22 see SAWYER BROWN LIVE at St. Nicholas Country Fest 2016!
