His foray into music like most country singers began at church where he was invited by the preacher to sing at services and soon impressed members of the congregation as they asked him to join their band projects. After a failed audition for music theme park Opryland, at 18 Currington migrated to the home of country music, Nashville to chase his dreams of becoming a country star. Taking odd jobs here and there, Currington slugged it out working as a personal trainer during the day and performing in bars and clubs at night. The move to Nashville introduced him to several key players who helped him develop his songwriting skills.
In 2003, Currington signed with Mercury Records Nashville to release his debut self-titled album. Catching the attention of critics and audiences alike with his impressive storytelling, drawing from real life experiences and turning it into something beautiful saw the album peak at number 17 in the US Country Album charts. The lead single “Walk a Little Straighter”, a tale of Currington’s relationship with his alcoholic and abusive step-father peaked in the charts at number eight, cementing his promise as a rising country star.
The following year Currington appeared alongside Shania Twain for the hit single “Party for Two”. In 2005 he released his follow up album “Doin’ Something Right” which peaked at number two in the Top Country Album charts certifying platinum. The album featured the number singles “Must Be Doin’ Something Right” and “Good Directions”. Clearly doing something right, in 2006 he received a CMT Music Award for Hottest Video of the Year with “Must Be Doin’ Something Right”.
After a run of extensive touring, towards the end of 2007 Currington caught a bout of laryngitis which forced him to cancel the remaining tour dates and saw his absence from the scene for almost a year. In 2008 Currington returned fighting fit to release his third album “Little Bit of Everything” peaking at number two in the charts. While supporting the release of the album, in 2009 Currington performed at the Big Valley Jamboree in Alberta, US where a freak wind storm interrupted his set causing him concussion, injuring his bass player and killed an audience member.
With subsequent album releases “Enjoy Yourself” (2010), “We Are Tonight” (2013) and “Don’t Do It” (2014) has seen Currington’s precedence as he continues climbing into the big leagues as an established country star proving dreams really do come to fruition.

Review a Billy Currington concert? Where do I begin?
I've been a fan of Billy's for years. I've attended over 20 shows to date and the second those house lights go down and that intro music starts, the crowd goes absolutely wild in anticipation for this beach bum, country boy from Georgia with a voice that once you hear it, you can't get enough! His presence up on that stage and the way he interacts with his fans on such a personal level is truly amazing.
Billy and his band are like a family......you see the smiles, the jokes and jestures they share between themselves during the show and you can't help but smile yourself. It's so obvious that they LOVE what they do and they truly want the crowd to have the best experience they can possibly have.
From the first strum of the guitar or beat of that drum it's high energy that doesn't let up until the end! Billy's songs are catchy, feel good songs that everyone in the crowd knows and sings along to (and if you don't know 'em when you get there, you sure will once you leave) He plays some of his number one hits like "That's How Country Boys Roll", "Pretty Good at Drinkin' Beer" and "Good Directions", but he also adds in some funky covers like "Blurred Lines" to put little spice in the show (and I must say his dance moves aren't too shabby either). Since the "We Are Tonight" album was released back in September 2013, Billy has added the title track "We Are Tonight" and the lead single "Hey Girl" to the set, which has him focusing less on the "country" and more on the soulful, sexy sound that he is so famous for.
Listen, I could go on and on about all the experiences I've had at each of my Billy shows, but you'll never truly "get it" until you see him and the band live for yourself! Get tickets to the next show in your area and get ready for the best concert experience you've ever had.....from start to finish, Billy leaves you wanting more!
He is an amazing artist with a true love for the music and for what he does. Believe me, you won't be disappointed. "Enjoy Yourself" and be safe. Peace

Country music sensation Billy Currington has gained a huge following for his melodic music and likeable charisma since the beginnings of his career in 2003. Since then he has scored a number of hit albums and had eight number ones on the US Country charts yet he still remains a grounded and humble performer.
No matter how big the venue, Currington has a skill in making the whole experience feel incredibly intimate as he attempts to build rapport with every member of his audience. He entertains the masses with pitch perfect renditions of favourites such as 'Must Be Doin' Somethin' Right' and 'People Are Crazy'.
The great relationship Billy has with his band resonates with the audience and they cheer them on during jam sessions and instrumentals. They have been touring relentlessly so the tracks feel well practised and the cover versions by the likes of Bruno Mars and Garth Brooks are well developed and reimagined to be personal to the country star.
The feel good vibes follow throughout the gig and by the final tones of 'Good Directions' every spectator is proudly singing along and clapping to the chorus with the singer/songwriter.

Billy Currington is a huge rising star in the Country music scene, and is rising in popularity on the mainstream music charts as well. I was a huge fan of Currington’s single ‘Don’t It’ and was excited at the prospect of seeing the rest of his repertoire live. He did not disappoint. The fans turned out in their millions for the Grammy nominated country heartthrob. The first thing you notice about Currington is his incredible charisma and charm. His smile is intoxicating and clearly meted many hearts when he flashed it on stage. He seemed incredibly warm and kind hearted and the audience simply loved him. The cheers and screams rivaled those I would expect for someone like Justin Bieber, from millions of tween fans. I was not expecting it for Currington. However, when he picked up his guitar and struck the chords for the crooning ‘Must be doing Something Right’, I could see why. His voice was oddly beautiful for a country star and his songs were melodic, lovely and catchy. I found my voice joining the chorus of fans singing along to ‘People are Crazy’, and loved every minute.

Plain and simple it was a great show. He played most of the songs you hoped and wanted him to play, He threw in a couple of cover songs and had the crowd involved from the first second he stepped on stage. Good entertainer and sounded great live. Played about an hour an 15 minutes. Would highly recommend this show.

One of the best shows I’ve seen in the past few years. Billy was very interactive with the audience and included each and every person into his performance. His band members were extremely talented as well, drawing the audience not only into Billy, but into the performance as a whole. 10/10 would go see again

He did not play long enough and I don't understand why he was singing other people's songs and he has enough of his own songs the seating the grass seats there are ridiculous she can barely even see the monitor so I will never go to that venue again and I doubt I will go see Billy Currington again either.

All we can say is Billy was
FANTASTIC at the OC Fair in California. There were so many people it looked like it was sold out.
SO to all you fans, get yourself some tickets and have some fun. We love Billy's lyrics, and we all know country boys are really nice guys.

This was my first time seeing Billy Currington. He was amazing. Puts on a great show. Very interactive with the audience. Sounds great live. I will certainly see him again. Looking forward to seeing him whenever he is the headliner!! Loved his version of Uptown Funk

This was my 4th time seeing Billy Currington in concert. He has been my top favorite person! This show was the best by far of all 4 shows. He had so much energy! He stayed on stage for an hour plus signing autographs.
This man is awesome!

The best fucking concert I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to A LOT. I made my way to the front with my boyfriend in mountain home Idaho with my boyfriend. I KNOW he was staring at me. God he is so beautiful and perfect
