“Country music has been the number one passion of mine since I was a little boy,” shares Sadler. “I remember my family bringing me to the Grand Ole Opry and being amazed by the stars who took the stage, their stories, and their songs. Also my journey hasn’t gone as planned in many ways, I am thankful that God has allowed me to keep singing and putting out new music. Here’s to the next chapter!”

With a career shaped by determination and raw talent, Sammy Sadler has carved out a story all his own in Nashville. He first gained national attention in 1989 with his charting rendition of Aaron Neville’s “Tell It Like It Is,” followed by “You Made It Easy.” But his momentum was cut short when he was seriously wounded in the same shooting that took the life of Cash Box chart director Kevin Hughes—an incident that became known as the “Murder on Music Row.” After several years away from the spotlight, Sadler returned with ‘Hard On a Heart’ in 2004, earning recognition in Texas and internationally. He continued his comeback with ‘Heart Shaped Like Texas’ in 2009. Sadler is excited to be doing select shows with singer-songwriter Dave Gibson (Tanya Tucker, Alabama, Joe Diffie) on their ‘Hits & History Tour’ with their first show in Nashville, Tennessee at Chiefs on Broadway later this summer.
