Gretchen Wilson 2008 Concert Tour Info:

Bartending at 14 alongside her mother–Gretchen Wilson found release in country and rock music. She was on her own by 15, managing Big O’s, a bar outside town, and singing for its rough-and-tumble patrons. She sang along to CD’s for tips until she was old enough to join a cover band and sing as far down the interstate as St. Louis.

Dreams and talent combined to send her in 1996 to Nashville, where she put her bartending skills to use in Printers’ Alley, sitting in with the band now and then. It was there that John Rich and Big Kenny ran across her. The rest has become phenominal history as she is now an inspirational icon for country girls the whole world round.

When it comes to the music,” she says, “I get involved on a personal level in everything that counts. I’m involved in the writing, recording, producing, mixing, and promoting of the music, down to which photos we pick and how the lyrics are laid out on the paper. I’ve been very lucky that way from the beginning in that the people at my label, when it came down to it, have trusted me with my gut on the music.”

Gretchen Wilson Details:

To all appearances, Gretchen Wilson went overnight from talented obscurity to phenomenon. Her meteoric rise, the kind experienced by only a handful of artists in the past few decades, was that rare instance where talent and moment meet to form a cultural tidal wave. Still, she knows better than anyone the simple force that fueled it.

“The reason I’ve been successful is that I’ve been genuine from the get-go,” she says, “and I continue to try to do that. I’m an open book.” It helps that the identity she wears so guilelessly is one that resonates strongly with fans of country and Southern rock–the independent, take-no-guff, hard-working and hard-partying country woman. Gretchen’s ability to inhabit that persona publicly, as well as her flair for tailoring songs as gorgeously rough-edged as she is, have given her the kind of “I am what I sing” originality few women in country music history–Loretta, Tammy, Dolly and Tanya chief among them–have ever been able to achieve.
