Easton Corbin exudes country. His distinctive baritone has been gracing airwaves for the past decade as his chart topping debut single "A Little More Country Than That" established Corbin as a mainstay on the country charts. Billboard’s 2010 Top New Country Artist would go on to garner another No. 1 hit with the feel-good "Roll With It" as well as seven top 10 singles, further distinguishing himself from other male vocalists as a tried-and-true country traditionalist who weaves timeless story songs together while tipping his hat to the classic country artists who have come before him. Though 2020 marked the 10 th anniversary of "A Little More Country Than That" achieving No. 1 status, Corbin showed no signs of slowing down. With the release of his infectious single "Turn Up," he launched a year of new releases, including tune "Didn’t Miss A Beat," which he performed on NBC’s Today Show. As he continues on with this new chapter as an independent artist, Corbin says "A Little More Country Than That" still reflects who he is as an artist and where he sees his career going.
