21bcd atmilb.com/1ZopyUg"Lil bit of Country, Lil bit of Rock & Roll" 2016 PickAxe concert series to take place at Bowling Green Ballpark on 8/13 Bowling Green Hot Rods 05/06/2016 12:59 PM ET "To open up the whole event, Sawyer Fredericks has certainly come a long way from the 88‐acre Upstate New York farm where he grew up.
His stark honesty and soulful delivery turned him into a national phenomenon during the eighth season of NBC's Emmy award‐winning The Voice. As part of "Team Pharrell," he emerged as the youngest victor in the show's history at just 16‐years‐old. Moreover, he made history for the show, becoming the first artist to land 14 songs in the iTunes Overall Top 200 Songs Chart in one week. All in all, his digital sales exceeded 1 million cumulative singles, making him one of the most successful artists ever in the history of the show.
However, home is still a big part of his soulful, contemporary folk sound.
"That's where I started playing guitar," he says. "It was so much fun growing up there. There was a lot of open space, and I was able to be around animals. Nature really inspired me. I feel like it gave me a different musical perspective."
Most importantly, Sawyer's time on The Voice taught him quite a few things.
"I learned so much," he says. "It was incredible to be around that many artists and see so much talent. I took it all in. Getting to perform on that stage was amazing. I also remember Pharrell gave me a piece of advice. He said, 'Stay true to yourself.' I'll never forget that."
Ultimately, Sawyer forges a true connection between his roots and his passion for music that has lead him to where he is today "I want the lyrics and music to connect to the audience," he leaves off. "I just hope they feel when they hear me." He is currently on a headline tour in support of his debut album, A Good Storm, being released May 13."www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20160506&content_id=176554272&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_t2498&sid=t2498

Festival will bring a little bit of country, rock and roll
Alyssa Harvey
“You have four big-name artists who are national touring acts and an additional four before them,” he said. “We have a whole afternoon of music that’s going to happen. We custom built this for Bowling Green.”
Ted Nugent has sold more than 40 million albums and performed 6,500 high-octane live shows, according to the festival’s website.
“He is the ultimate guitar rock guy,” Burr said.
Uncle Kracker’s cover of Dobie Gray’s “Drift Away” set a Billboard record for most weeks at No. 1 on any chart, topping their No. 1 run on the adult contemporary radio charts for 28 weeks.
“We feel Uncle Kracker represents country music,” Burr said.
Puddle of Mudd is an American post-grunge band from Kansas City, Mo. The band has sold more than 7 million albums. Their major label debut, “Come Clean,” has sold more than 5 million copies.
“Puddle of Mudd is an underrated band, in my opinion,” Burr said.
Sawyer Fredericks is the youngest person to win the popular talent show “The Voice.”
“Right before that season, they teased with him,” Burr said. “He had such a unique folksy sound that it stuck in people’s heads.”
