Tate Stevens with State Line Drive
Tate Stevens has captured Americas hearts by doing the one thing he does best: being himself.With his powerful vocals, compelling life story and irresistible personality, Tate has won Foxs X Factor and scored a Top 5 album. Hes also found success when his song Holler If Youre With Me, which debuted during a Pepsi commercial that aired during the Grammys, was chosen to be featured during the Southeastern Conference basketball tournament.
Its no surprise that hes also quickly built a fan base numbering in the millions, especially among working men and the women who love real men. Tate has emerged as a sex symbol of the flyover states, where men are valued for accepting responsibility, respecting women and relishing the simple joys in life. He has a down-to-earth accessibility, a sense of humor that rivals Bill Engvalls and the ability to put into words what men want to say.
Music drives me, he says. It is really deep down in my soul. That is who I am, the music, he says. I love performing for people because music makes people feel good. I love it when people say, That song spoke to me.
Tate is a stand-up guy in a world of superficiality and instant gratification. In life, love and music, hes in it for the long haul, while never losing that mischievous twinkle in his eye. Hes a mans man and an expert outdoorsman who would rather install a mirror than peer into one.
I think people see that theres a realness there, he says. I dont know too many guys that get manicures or shave their chests. I dont think the majority of people wear fancy clothes. I am the guy next door; everybody knows me. I am your neighbor, the guy who lives down the street.
Tate became a seemingly overnight sensation when he won Foxs X Factor in 2012. I think it was because I am a real person, he says of his win. I believe that country music fans are the most loyal and giving and they are the ones who pulled me through that show. As Simon Cowell said, when you hear how good his voice is and his story, you could not NOT root for him. I think America got it right.
After his victory, Tate quickly released his self-titled first album, which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. Music critic Chuck Dauphin says, What really sets Stevens apart is his way with a ballad. He demonstrates a depth that brings to mind artists such as one of his biggest influences, Garth Brooks. Tate Stevens shows on his debut album that hes got the talent to be a long-term voice in this business.
His second album, which was also produced by Blake Chancey, takes his music to the next level in every area, from the songwriting and song selection to the vocal performance and production. He has captured a fresh sound that fits comfortably with todays chart-topping hits, but features a strong foundation of substance and timeless messages. With the life hes led, it would be impossible to create music devoid of meaning or real emotion.
