Event
Ty Herndon in Blue Ridge, GA!
Firefly Music Blue Ridge is thrilled to present an extraordinary evening of live music with one of country music's greatest singers, Ty Herndon!
Ty Herndon is a master of the ties that bind. The Grammy-nominated and Dove award-winning recording artist has the ability to connect with an audience far beyond his onstage performance.
Herndon has a passion and commitment to his music that continues to play out in his lyrics. If I havent lived it, I havent sung it as Herndon says. With a career spanning two decades, 20 Billboard charted singles and over five million albums sold, Herndon shows no signs of slowing down.
Ty sprang into the national spotlight as a finalist in the first season of the iconic television series, Star Search and was a winner in the male-vocalist category, an accolade which led to appearances on numerous television shows and commercials. He followed that up by being named Texas Entertainer of the Year, and securing a record deal with Epic Records.
Herndon made his chart debut in 1995 with What Mattered Most, which became his first No. 1 song and garnered a Song of the Year award (Music Row Magazine). It was also the title track to his debut album, which debuted on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and had the biggest first-week shipment in the history of Epic Records Nashville. Between 1995 and 2002, Herndon charted 17 singles, including his three No.1s and numerous top 10 hits, such as I Want My Goodbye Back, Loved Too Much, A Man Holding On, and Hands of a Working Man. He topped the charts in 1996 with the single Living in a Moment and again in 1998 with It Must Be Love.
In November of 2014, Ty Herndon became the first major male country artist to publicly come out as gay. Shortly after, he made history when he hosted the first-of- its-kind country music event, titled The Concert for Love and Acceptance. The event, designed to bring attention and support to at-risk youth and acceptance, received national attention from Boston Globe, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Tonight, People Magazine and more. Herndon received an outpouring of support that only strengthened his relationship with fans. Using his celebrity influence for the better good, Herndon is in the planning stages of a new coalition called RALY, (Rescue A Life Yall) to help save lives and raise awareness for those with addiction or identity issues. A philanthropist at heart, Herndon has also donated his time to organizations such as the Trevor Project, Make A Wish, St. Jude, GLAAD, HRC and Feed the Children.
