I first heard of Heath Sanders on Facebook when mutual friends shared a video of him singing. Our morning show guy Bobby Bones saw this video as well. He contacted Heath and asked him to be on his nationally syndicated morning show. And the rest his history.
Heath details how it all went down in our full interview below for my 3 part series on THV11 called Chasing Country. We had a great time chatting at Proste in the Little Rock Rivermarket. He played a song that he had written just the week before. So check that out below, too. You'll be one of the first to here it. And keep an eye on this guy... we're going to be hearing more from this oil worker turned musician from Arkansas.
"His boots are moving to Tennessee but his roots will always be in Arkansas. Singer-songwriter Heath Sanders recently signed a publishing deal with Sony in Nashville.Â
After signing the contract to write country songs, Sanders told them that he'll need to come home every few weeks.
"I still have to sit in my boat and catch a largemouth. I still have to go squirrel hunting. I still have to go deer hunting. I have to live this to have the material to write the songs," said Sanders. Fortunately, Sony agreed.Â
Sanders never had fame in mind. He was working in an oil field in early 2018 when Arkansas native Bobby Bones invited Sanders to appear on The Bobby Bones Show.
Bones saw aYouTube video and was immediately impressed. You can watch that video here."
