Mark Wills

Grand Ole Opry member Mark Wills went from singing at Atlanta's Buckboard to releasing his first of 19 Billboard-charting singles across seven albums. While climbing his musical 'ladder,' he has recorded Gold and Platinum albums and released some of the most enduring and recognizable Country Music hits of the last 25 Years. "Wish You Were Here," "Jacob's Ladder" and "I Do (Cherish You)" cemented his country status. Wills' early chart success earned him an Academy of Country Music Award for Top New Male Vocalist in 1998. One of his biggest hits to date is the RIAA Gold-certified "19 Somethin'" – a six-week No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. He also has taken more than a dozen trips to entertain U.S. troops in Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Korea, and Italy. Wills continues to hit the road with his high-energy show full of hits that were the soundtrack to so many people's lives.
