Sam Hunt Concerts Setlist

Sam Hunt is an American singer and songwriter. He was born on December 8, 1984 in Cedartown, Georgia. Hunt was a promising football talent in high school. He also played for multiple colleges as a quarterback, but never fulfilled his potential as a football player. He earned a degree in philosophy and economics from University of Alabama at Birmingham, then tried out for the NFL team Kansas City Chiefs but they rejected him. During his college years, he also played the guitar, sang, and wrote songs, but he always looked at them as pastime activities, rather than a career. After his friends’ and family’s encouragement, he moved out to Nashville, Tennessee to try to make it in country music after he gave up on a football career.
