Billy Currington

Celebrate with Currington!

Celebrate your Marathon or ½ Marathon accomplishment at the Post Race Concert with headliner Billy Currington and openers Ashton Shepherd and The Carter Twins.

From small-town Son of the South to hot new artist to bona fide country star, Billy Currington has seen it all. In 2003 he burst onto the Nashville scene with his self-titled debut album, and proceeded to burn up the charts with Top Ten singles “I Got a Feelin’” and “Walk a Little Straighter”. It wasn’t long before the legendary Shania Twain tapped him to be her duet partner in their smash hit “Party for Two”. In the accompanying video, Currington swung from an enormous chandelier and straight into the hearts of Americans everywhere.
