Raw, fierce, God-given talent to create and perform music is what best describes the Corbitt Brothers Band. “Simply put, the Corbitt Brothers jam! They have a killer, hard-driving, southern rock sound with a well-rounded sound of bluesy rock, gritty southern country, and a classic-flavored edge to great timeless tunes.” Genres include southern rock, outlaw country, blues, reggae, bluegrass and pretty much everything in between. Their original music comes from the heart and is relevant today. This diversity enables them to please any crowd. The band’s passion for playing music and entertaining is second to none. They engage a crowd with explosive energy, amazing talent and magnetism from the first song to the always requested encore. Another major bullet in their arsenal is Isaac Corbitt on the harmonica. He is one of the best harmonica artists in the country and has been compared to John Popper of Blues Traveler. When he lets it rip on the harmonica, crowds are electrified and on their feet in minutes cheering him on. These young, self-taught brothers/musicians were born and raised in Jacksonville, FL. They moved to the Nashville, Tennesee, area in 2008 to pursue their music dreams and formed the Corbitt Brothers Band in 2009 as a twosome hitting the music scene in Tennessee for a year. In mid-2010, they added a drummer to their band and went on the road full-time.

Listen closely to Hunter Hayes as he talks, that millionmile-an-hour voice, all rapid-fire energy and bustling passion. Not long ago he released his second album, the country chart-topping “Storyline.” But the 22-year-old, mind always churning, ideas jettisoning from brain to hand and voice, can’t help but wonder what lies ahead. “I’m on an unending search to find what it is that I love and how it is that I will do it,” he says of the wide-open, all-options future for a four-time GRAMMY nominee, CMA New Artist of the Year and youngest male act ever to top the Billboard Hot Country song chart. “How am I going to achieve getting the sounds that I love? What is it that I can’t resist?” The wonder of a talent like Hayes is that even when he has a rare moment of reprieve from the mayhem of touring the world on a solo jaunt, breaking the Guinness Book of World Records’ mark for most concerts in a 24-hour period or, say, performing at the GRAMMY Awards, he’s focused on his craft. “I should be fatigued of writing,” he admits. “But I have written easily a third of whatever my next project is. It’s more of a daily circle now,” he explains of his omnipresent muse. It’s easy to look at Hayes and marvel at his oft-recounted successes: receiving his first guitar from actor Robert Duvall at age six; performing for the President the following year; signing with Atlantic Nashville Records at age 18; touring as a support act for Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood not long after. “I just want people to know me,” Hayes says, taking a deep breath as he looks into the crystal ball he calls his unpredictable life. “Having someone care about what you’re saying is a groundbreaking feeling. That is a beautiful, life-changing experience every time. You don’t get used to that.”
