Craig Wayne Boyd, recent winner of "The Voice," will join forces with Country Music Hall of Famer Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives for an early Valentine's Day concert at the historic Palace Theatre in Canton, Ohio.
Boyd, who was coached by country superstar Blake Shelton, was quickly a fan favorite with his strong voice, long blond locks and musical versatility. He covered many country hits, including Stuart's "The Whiskey Aint Workin'."
Boyd's newly released single "My Baby's Got a Smile On Her Face" - the song he sang to win the NBC singing competition show - is only the second country song in history to debut at No. 1, sharing the honor with Garth Brooks' "More Than a Memory," which topped the charts upon its debut in 2007, reports indeoonoline.com.
The Texas native had been living in Nashville for a decade before he made it onto "The Voice." A collection of his performances on the show was released Dec. 16 on iTunes.
Stuart, a four-time Grammy Award winner, has racked up many hits, including, "Hillbilly Rock," "Tempted," and his award-winning duet with Travis Tritt, "The Whiskey Ain't Workin'." He has been touring the country with his band, the Fabulous Superlatives, for more than four decades.
"I'm always on the prowl for the kinds of recordings that can inspire and potentially make a difference," Stuart acknowledged. "What inspires me now, is traditional country music. It's the music I most cherish, the culture in which I was raised."
Along with his Grammys, Stuart is a platinum-selling artist, Country Music Hall of Fame inductee, musical stylist, designer and photographer. He is also known as one of the most fierce guardians of country music memorabilia and heritage.
"Sparkle & Twang: Marty Stuart's American Musical Odyssey," his traveling exhibit of music memorabilia and photography, has been displayed at Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The Repository and Dusty Guitar Promotions will present Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives with Craig Wayne Boyd at 8 p.m. Feb. 13.
