Happy 40th birthday today to Sturgill Simpson who was born on 6/8/78. Sturgill has emerged as a standout in a new breed of country music artists who harken back to a purer sound in the genre’s history. He’s got that old school vibe with Waylon’s masculine grit and George Jones’ cowboy romanticism and continues to be one of the biggest draws on the Roots circuit. Check Sturgill live at Apogee Studio in Santa Monica on 4/5/16.
