Chillin the Most Cruise, where his fans fell
in love with the group.
Sweet Tea Trio completed an impressive
2017 with nine arena dates opening for,
and performing with, Kid Rock in Michigan
and Indiana. They were also chosen by
LiveNation to be the opener for Bon Jovi
in Birmingham, AL and wowed fans at the
CMA Music Fest in Nashville.
“The three of us feel so honored that Kid
Rock and Ken (Levitan) have given us this
incredible opportunity. The entire team at
Vector and Lost Highway feels like a family
and we cannot wait to see what the future
holds. We give all the glory to God and we
are so excited! We love our country music
family and are looking forward to making
music, hitting the road, and hopefully
giving country music a sugar rush!”, says
Sweet Tea Trio.
The Trio’s self titled EP debuted on the
i-Tunes Country Chart at number 11 this
past June and has delighted audiences
and impressed the country music industry
alike. The EP was produced by Jason Wyatt
(former lead singer of The Lost Trailers)
with Executive Producer Matt Rovey (Craig
Campbell, Dean Brody). The Trio have two
original songs on the six-song project; the
other songs are written by top Nashville
writers including Josh Kear, Mark Irwin,
Brandi Clark, Shane McAnally and Josh
Osborne.
Sweet Tea Trio have set their sights on
California, opening for the legendary
country group Alabama later this month in
Ontario, CA and will be performing several
dates with Kid Rock on his current tour.
-More- Originally from Alabama, the now
Nashville-based trio met in 2013 through a
Birmingham artist development program
24
called Nashville Bound. Each artist sang
individually when they initially entered the
program but quickly felt an instant vocal
connection once they sang together. The
Trio has been performing together ever
since.
They made their national television debut
singing at the Talladega Superspeedway,
and have shared the stage with acts such as
Lonestar, Tracy Lawrence, Scotty McCreery,
Diamond Rio, Drake White, Shenandoah
and others. The trio were named Alabama’s
Country Female Artist of the Year for 2016.
In 2017, they were chosen by LiveNation to
be the opener for Bon Jovi in Birmingham,
and they performed six shows as a special
guest of Kid Rock on his eighth annual
Chillin’ the Most Cruise.
In July of 2013, the trio had an opportunity
to sing at the World Deer Expo in
Birmingham, AL. They entered a vocal
competition and won the “Do You Have
the C Factor?” - a spin off of X-Factor but
related to country music. This first place
win gave them the opportunity to compete
at the Midsouth Fair, one of the largest and
longest running talent competitions in the
world. Past winners and finalists of this
event include most notably Elvis Presley,
Patsy Cline and Justin Timberlake. After
only singing together for a few months,
Sweet Tea Trio came away from the
Midsouth Fair with First Place Sweepstakes
Winner in September 2013.
During their exposure at the World Deer
Expo, the trio was asked to write a song
for the company, Huntin’ is Good. This
was their first song to garner major
attention from the hunting industry.
Their performance and professional skills
landed them the chance to sing at the
annual Country Goes Hunting event, in
April 2018
