Wilson County Fair promoters Friday an-nounced John Michael Montgomery will per-form during the Wilson County Fair.

Montgomery will take the stage Aug. 21 at 8 p.m. Ticket information is available at wil-soncountyfair.net.

With a musical career that spans 12 albums and a greatest hits package, Montgomery’s hits include �I Swear,� Be My Baby Tonight,� �I Can Love You Like That,� �Sold (the Grundy County Auction Incident)� and �Life�s A Dance,� among many others. He’s earned 15 No. 1 singles, sold more than 10 million albums and received numerous industry and fan-voted awards, three CMA Awards, five ACM Awards and an American Music Award.

In November 2007, Montgomery launched his own label, Stringtown Records, taking on the role of chief executive officer. He re-leased his 10th studio album, Time Flies, in 2008, which he produced with Byron Galli-more. The album�s first single, “If You Ever Went Away,” marked Montgomery’s first return to the airwaves since “Letters From Home,” (2004) reached No. 2 on Billboards Country Singles chart.

Born Jan. 20, 1965, in Danville, Ky., Mont-gomery arrived on the country music scene in 1993 with a debut album, Life’s a Dance, which became the only million-seller on the country charts by a new artist that year. Its

title track was a No. 4 hit single and was fol-lowed by his first country No. 1 single, “I Love the Way You Love Me.” The follow-up, Kickin’ It Up, hit the top spot on both the country and adult contemporary charts and produced four more successful singles, the chart-topping “I Swear,” “Be My Baby Tonight,” “If You Got Love” and the No. 4 single “Rope the Moon.”

Montgomery and his older brother, Eddie Montgomery of Montgomery Gentry, re-ceived musical encouragement from their father, who performed in a local country band and taught his son his first chords. He joined the family band as guitarist before taking the lead singing role when his parents divorced. Afterwards, he made a frugal living on the local honky-tonk scene as a solo artist play-ing what he referred to as “working man’s country.” Eventually, Atlantic Records signed him, and he became part of the �90s wave of honky tonk hitmakers.

“I’ve been singing since I was a kid,” Montgomery said. “And I’ve been very for-tunate to have a lot of peaks and valleys in my career; seeing a lot of changes since 1992. The main thing I’ve learned is to just be myself, to treat people kindly, and if you give radio a good song, they’ll play it. I know how lucky it is to be successful in this busi-ness, and I’ve always tried to let the fans, the deejays and the people I work with know how much I appreciate them.”

Wilson County Fair officials announced recently the Wilson County Fair Great Giveaway will make its return to the fair in August.

Fair goers will have the opportunity to win $1,000 in six nights during the fair. On Aug. 20, they will choose between six dif-ferent prizes for the fourth straight year.

“We are very excited about the 2013 offering for the fair,” said Keith Harrison, chairman of the fair’s Great Giveaway committee. “Fair goers will have the op-portunity to choose between a selection of cars, a tractor and a recreational utility ve-hicle. Someone is going to drive away with

one of these spectacular choices.”The Great Giveaway lineup includes the

following 2013 models provided by the fol-lowing local businesses: Chevrolet Malibu from Wilson County Motors; Dodge Jour-ney from Rockie Williams Premier Dodge; Ford Focus from Bates Ford; Hyundai El-antra from Wilson County Hyundai; John Deere 5045d tractor and loader from Tri-Green Equipment; and a John Deere XUV 825i Gator with cab and air from Tri-Green Equipment.

“These local dealerships offer a tasteful choice with six outstanding vehicle options for the 2013 Wilson County Fair,” said Harrison.

Sixty-two local businesses sponsored the annual event.

“We are pleased by the number of busi-nesses continuing to want to be part of the Great Giveaway,” said Harrison. “These organizations want to be part of something successful, like the fair and the Great Give-away. It’s an opportunity to give back to the community. We owe a great deal of gratitude to these sponsors for making this possible again in 2013.”

Tickets are available at the 62 businesses. The cars, tractor and RTV will be displayed at these businesses until fair time in Au-gust. A complete listing of the 62 sponsors will appear in local newspaper advertising,

on the fair website at wilsoncountyfair.net, or by calling the Wilson County Fair office at 615-443-2626.

“Our Great Giveaway committee has taken the theme of Taste The Fun at the 2013 Wilson County Fair very seriously,” said Hale Moss, president of Wilson County Promotions, sponsor of the Wilson County Fair. “When one looks over the list of giveaway sponsors, the amount of cash to be given away and the six choices for the Tuesday night Great Giveaway, this com-mittee has put together another great venue for fair goers in 2013. We hope that many folks from Wilson and our surrounding counties will take part in our fair.”
