Billy Currington at the House of Blues July 6, 2007

Although success has carried country singer/songwriter Billy Currington far away from his beloved hometown of Rincon, Georgia, he remains the same simple man who was indelibly shaped by his upbringing in this small Southern town with a population of 4,376.
Currington burst onto the music scene in 2003 with his eponymous debut CD, which contained the powerful Top 10 hit Walk a Little Straighter and the fun Top 5 smash I Got a Feelin, which was accompanied by the memorable video co-starring Baywatch beauty Gena Lee Nolin.
When superstar Shania Twain heard Curringtons soulful Southern voice, she knew she had found the perfect partner for the country duet Party for Two, so Currington excitedly boarded a plane for Europe to work in the studio with Twain and legendary producer Robert Mutt Lange. Currington and Twain performed the song live on the 2004 Country Music Association Awards and a special Good Morning America show from Nashville.
His musical success brought national media attention, including People magazine and USA Today, which named Currington an On the Verge artist. Soon the media began celebrating the bachelors other attributes as well: Playgirl magazine featured a (clothed) Currington on its March 2005 cover and Nashville Lifestyles magazine named him one of its 25 Most Beautiful People.
