Travis Tritt - Proud of the Country

Three decades after Travis Tritt launched his music career, the Southern rock-influenced artist continues to stay true and relevant to country music fans across the globe. A Marietta, Georgia native, Tritt incorporated his lifelong influences of Southern rock, blues, and gospel into his country during a honky-tonk apprenticeship that led him to Warner Bros. In 1989. Tritt's albums, seven of which are certified platinum or higher, have amassed more than 30million in career album sales, two Grammy Awards, four CMA Awards, an invitation to become a member of the world famous Grand Ole Opry, and a devoted fan base that fills venues coast-to-coast. Travis Tritt is dubbed one of the "The Class of '89, " which included Country music superstars Garth Brooks, Clint Black and Alan Jackson, all of whom dominated the charts in the early '90s. Among his 12 studio albums and numerous charted singles are nineteen Top 10 hits, including "Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde, " "Here's A Quarter, " and "It's A Great Day To Be Alive. " Tritt's talents, however, are not limited to music, as he has also appeared in numerous feature films and TV shows throughout his extraordinary career.
