Sturgill Simpson Parlays Grammy Nomination into ‘Saturday Night Live’ Appearance

We've been on the Sturgill Simpson train longer than most. It was only by chance that an old Army buddy of mine told me to check him out just weeks before Metamodern Sounds in Country Music was released and knocked the music world on its ass.

Since then Simpson has landed late night musical guest spots, traveled across the country to perform in front off sold out crowds, become a voice for music lovers, and this month his latest album A Sailors Guide to Earth was nominated for a Grammy, Album of the Year category.

That's right he is going up against Beyoncé, Drake, Justin Bieber, and Adele. His inclusion in the category prompted folks around the world to inquire "Who the f*ck is Sturgill Simpson?"

Be sure to check out Sturgill on January 17, as he once again looks to broaden his fan base, and make sure people find out who the f*ck he is.
