A singer/songwriter and actor who plays guitar and banjo, Travis Tritt has racked up an impressive array of awards including Billboard’s Top New Male Artist (1990), two Grammy® awards and three Country Music Association awards including Vocal Event of the Year for his hits “This One’s Gonna’ Hurt You” and “Honky Tonkin’s What I Do Best”. Record producer Randy Jackson (judge on “American Idol”) paid a compliment to Tritt by saying, “Dude, I knew you could sing, but I had no idea you could do that blue-eyed soul thing!” Tritt’s widely praised album The Storm (2007) showcases the deep musical links between country and R&B.
