 | | Since his debut in 1991, Sammy Kershaw has grown into one of the most exciting performers in country music, exhibiting the kind of talent and vocal instrument that comes along once in a generation. |
 | | Several years before that honor, Sammy was paying his dues in honky tonks, then opening for stars like George Jones and Merle Haggard and finally, releasing his debut album, Don't Go Near the Water, in 1991, which quickly soared to platinum status. |
 | | In addition to the contribution Sammy has made to music, he is proud of those he has made through the Sammy Kershaw Foundation, which has donated over a million dollars in aid to children and child-related charities in south Louisiana. |
