Easton Corbin debut coming in March

"This song identifies who I am," the Trenton, Fla. native said. "It shows character and that's important where I'm from. You learn to say 'yes, ma'am' and 'no, sir,' and to open the door for the ladies."

Like his heroes Keith Whitley, George Jones and Merle Haggard, Corbin wrote 4 of the 11 tracks and is produced by Carson Chamberlain (Billy Currington).

Continuing to make the radio rounds, this week Corbin will perform in North Carolina, entertain at a St. Jude's event in Maryland and make two stops in his home state of Florida. The remainder of the month rounds out with visits for stations in Tennessee, Wisconsin, Iowa and Virginia.

Growing up. Corbin spent much of his time on his grandparent's cattle farm and as an active member of FFA and 4-H. He began taking guitar lessons at age 15 and would practice every day for hours when he got home from school. After earning a business degree through the College of Agriculture at the University of Florida, he married and moved to Music City. Shortly after, Mercury Nashville signed him and he quit his job at Ace Hardware to pursue his lifelong dream.
