Illinois native Brett Eldredge has arrived in the world of country music and it's obvious he is here to stay.
Brett's musical influences are Ronnie Dunn and Ray Charles which makes perfect sense if you have ever seen him perform live.
It was such an honor to be in the audience when he shared the stage with Lee Brice, Kelleigh Bannen and Jarrod Neiman on Feb 7th in Silver Spring, MD for the iheart concert. All four artists were on stage together and they each took turns singing their most popular songs. Brett's voice is unique and full of soul and it amazes me how effortless it is for him. It's really a voice you can never forget. Most people know Brett by his 2010 single "Raymond"which was written with his grandmother in mind since she fought a battle with Alzheimer's. The song is one that tugs at your heart and really shows what a great song writer Brett Eldredge is.
