NASHVILLE, TN – (June 18, 2015) –
Craig Campbell,
RED BOW Records’ artist and father of two girls, was joined on stage by
his youngest daughter Kinni Rose at the end of his CMA Festival
Riverfront set on June 11. The previous day (6/10), his other daughter
Preslee charmed on the red carpet at the CMT Music Awards as his date.
Later that night, she almost brought Lee Brice to tears when she sang
“Happy Birthday” to him as seen
here.
“My
step father came into my life when I was seven years old. Thank God he
did. He raised me in church, to respect others and to always do the
right thing,” said Campbell in honor of his own father figure.
“Everything I know about being a dad, I learned from him.”
Earlier this year in appreciation of his love for his family, Campbell tattooed sheet music from his debut single, “Family Man,” on his left arm: “The livin’, breathin’, reason that I am.”
Igniting Country radio last week, his debut RED BOW Record’s single, “Tomorrow Tonight” set a new career record with the most first week adds, doubling previous releases.
Campbell launched on to the Country music scene with the release of his
self-titled debut album (2011) delivering the hits “Family Man,” “Fish,”
and “When I Get It.” To date, he has logged four consecutive charted
hits with over a billion radio airplay audience impressions and over a
half million downloads. Acclaimed as one of the genre’s most
neo-traditionalist singers, his Top 15 breakout debut “Family Man” was
featured on HBO’s True Blood and the top-selling fan-favorite “Fish” has
tallied nearly 400,000 digital copies sold. Most recently, Campbell
earned his first Top 10 smash with the infectious “Keep Them Kisses
Comin’” from his sophomore album NEVER REGRET (2013) produced
by Keith Stegall (Alan Jackson, Zac Brown Band) and Matt Rovey (CCMA
Album Of The Year Producer). The gifted songwriter co-penned six of the
tracks on the twelve-song project as well as Garth Brooks “All American
Kid” on MAN AGAINST THE MACHINE. Prior to landing his first
record deal, the Lyons, GA native spent time on the road playing
keyboard for both Tracy Byrd and Luke Bryan – shows that inspired him
nightly. He was soon discovered while playing a regular gig at the
downtown Nashville honky-tonk, The Stage.
