Bart was born in Gadsden, al, and his family later moved to Pell City, Al, where he graduated from Pell City High School. Bart grew up listening to all kinds of music, but COUNTRY touched his heart. He soon developed a burning desire to sing and write. He continued doing what he loved so much, finally one night after a gig, he realized he was at a crossroads. He simply said to himself " I’d rather go to Nashville and be told no, than to stay in Pell City and wonder " Packing up everything he owned, he moved to Nashville to pursue his dream. It took a while, but things finally started to happen. He made two appearances on the Ernest Tubb Mid-Night Jamboree with Jack Greene, Dianne Sherrill and Ron Williams, which were broadcast live nationwide on AM-650 WSM. He’s been the feature act at the original Nashville Palace, where country greats Randy Travis, Alan Jackson and many others launched their careers. He made an appearance at the James Monroe Bluegrass Music Hall, with Vern Gosdin and Dianne Sherrill. He had his first single release nationwide, and has recorded songs written by some of the greatest writers in Nashville. Including, Jerry Foster, Johnny Morris, Dean Dillion, Don Goodman, Buddy Cannon, A. J. Masters, Bobby Fischer and J.B. Detterline Jr. With influences like George Jones, Vern Gosdin, Gary Stewart, Merl Haggard, Hank Williams, Freddie Hart and Moe Bandy. It's no wonder Bart describes his music as CORNBREAD COUNTRY. As he puts it " TRADITIONAL COUNTRY MUSIC is what I'm all about, it's what I am, I love it " That’s the only way he knows how to do it, from the heart, with the emotion of his real life experiences. |
