Country star Sam Hunt is coming to BleauLive Theater at Fontainebleau Las Vegas for two nights on Friday, Oct. 25, and Saturday, Oct. 26, with his shows set to begin at 8:30 p.m.
Hunt is a five-time Grammy-nominated, multiplatinum-selling and award-winning hitmaker. His sophomore album “Southside” debuted to critical acclaim and was one of the top country albums of 2020, landing at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart.
Named one of the Best Albums of the Year by The New York Times and US Weekly, the hit project features 12 songs all written by Hunt, including his No. 1 songs “Kinfolks,” “Breaking Up Was Easy in the ’90s,” one of NPR’s Best Songs of 2020 “Hard to Forget” and his three-week No. 1, diamond-selling Grammy-nominated smash “Body Like a Back Road.”
Hunt also wrote his most recent, eighth chart-topping hit “23,” his latest radio staple “Outskirts” and recent releases “Start Nowhere,” “Water Under the Bridge,” “Walmart” and “Women in My Life.”
“Southside” follows Hunt’s Grammy-nominated, triple-platinum-selling debut album “Montevallo,” which also topped the Billboard Country Albums chart and produced four No. 1 singles. All 10 tracks on “Montevallo” are RIAA-certified, with seven achieving platinum or multiplatinum status, including “Leave the Night On,” “House Party,” “Take Your Time,” “Break Up in a Small Town,” “Speakers” and “Make You Miss Me.”
Called “stylistically provocative” by The New York Times and “deceptively phenomenal” by The Washington Post, Hunt has received accolades from The Associated Press, Billboard, Esquire, Entertainment Weekly, Los Angeles Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, Spin Magazine, Village Voice, The New York Times, The Washington Post and more.
Since “Montevallo’s” 2014 release, Hunt has accumulated more than 14.4 billion global streams and has earned 50 million RIAA-certified units.
