Sturgill Simpson is a country singer and guitarist who has spent his career moving between outlaw country, americana, bluegrass, and country rock rather than settling into any one of them. A Sailor's Guide to Earth, released on Atlantic Records, won the Grammy Award for Best Country Album at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards in 2017 and picked up several other nominations, including Album of the Year. He turned hard the other direction with Sound & Fury on Elektra Records in 2019, then wrote The Ballad of Dood & Juanita in 2021.
He started in Jackson, in Breathitt County, Kentucky, and had a guitar in his hands from the age of eight. He formed the band Sunday Valley in 2004, then worked a railroad freight-shipping yard in Salt Lake City and played local gigs around the shifts before moving to Nashville and cutting his solo debut. His early records, and later the Cuttin' Grass sessions in 2020, came out on High Top Mountain Records.
Alongside his solo work he has recorded under the Sunday Valley and Dead Ahead names, and his live history runs through rooms and fields the size of Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Merriweather Post Pavilion, and Golden Gate Park. That combination, a Grammy-winning country record and a bluegrass catalog on his own label, makes him a strong draw for festival and fair lineups, college programming, casino and performing arts stages, corporate events, and private shows.
