Country music star Sam Hunt will take the State Fair Grandstand stage, presented by CFM Insurance, on Saturday, Aug. 13 at the Missouri State Fair. Opening for Hunt is Sean Stemaly.
Multi-platinum selling, award-winning hitmaker Hunt has accumulated over 11 billion global streams.
His debut album “Montevallo” produced four No. 1 singles including “Leave the Light On,” “Take Your Time,” House Party” and “Break Up in a Small Town.” “Southside,” his sophomore album, debuted to critical acclaim and was one of the top country albums of 2020, landing No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart. The album features songs all written by Hunt, including his No. 1 hits “Kinfolks,” “Breaking Up Was Easy in the 90’s,” “Hard to Forget,” and his three-week No. 1, eight-time platinum-selling Grammy-nominated smash, “Body Like a Back Road.”
Stemaly’s country music comes straight from the only life he knows. The 27-year-old taught himself to sing over endless days in the cab of a tractor and has tallied over 135 million on-demand streams including “Z71” and “Come Back to Bed,” whose video has tallied over 13.3 million views. His debut album “Product of a Small Town” was recently released.
