Heath Sanders

Arkansas native Heath Sanders spent nearly a decade working on natural gas wells before his passion for music proved too strong to resist as a career. It all started after Heath posted on Facebook his cover of Chris Stapleton’s “Either Way” in early 2018. The video filmed in his living room would quickly transform his life as millions watched and re-shared, making Heath an overnight viral sensation among the working class communities in the Midwest and Rust Belt.

After seeing the online swell, Heath sold one of his deer-
hunting rifles and used the money to buy a PA system to play
in bars around the region. His buddies in the oil fields encouraged him to dream bigger as he worked on his craft and continued to upload covers, write his own music, including the first song he ever wrote – only five months before – called “Bloodline.” But it was his momma’s final push in the form of a hand-written letter listing the reasons why he should seriously consider a new career that prompted Heath to give the gas company his two- weeks notice.

Heath was invited to Nashville shortly thereafter for an opportunity that would ultimately solidify his path — an appearance on The Bobby Bones Show. During the trip, an industry executive asked Heath for his opinion of today’s Country music. He chose his words wisely, but didn’t hold back knowing this was an opportunity to speak for more Country fans that just himself.
