Special Guest July 16, 2010 supporting Keith Urban
The Road Hammers
Born and raised in Minesing Ontario, McCoy took to the haunting sounds of Country Music at an early age, winning a talent contest at the age of 12 singing "If Drinkin Don't Kill Me Her Memory Will" by his hero George Jones. This led to the recording of his own demo's which caught the attention of MCA Canada execs, launching a meteoric rise to the top of the Country Charts, winning Song of the Year in 1998 for the classic 'Born Again in Dixieland", 2 CCMA Male artist of the year awards (2001/2004) 3 CCMA Song of the Year Awards, and a CMA Global Artist Award 2006. After 4 studio albums and one Greatest Hits Collection, McCoy created The Road Hammers, a concept band who embraced songs of the open road, and renegade culture. The band spawned 2 hit CMT documentaries, 1 Gold Album, CCMA Group of the Year 2 years in a row (05/06), and a Juno for Country Recording of the Year 2006. The band also garnered Jason the coveted CCMA Producer of the Year award 2006, solidifying his solid musical presence....and if the past is any indication of the future, this is only the beginning!
