I'm excited to tell you about some really amazing talent from Selma, right down the road from my hometown of South Charleston! Wyatt McCubbin is a 15 year old sophomore at SoutheasternHigh School. He can't drive yet, but he sure can sing. If Randy Travis and Joe Nichols and Hank Williams Sr had a baby, it would sound like Wyatt McCubbin His honest to goodness daddy Frank was a year younger than me at Southeastern, and his mama Jerri Kay is from down route 68 In Wilmington. Little sis Emily is in seventh grade. The young singer/songwriter began his journey into country music on a fluke. He broke his arm playing football in the seventh grade, was told, "You're not just gonna lay around!" and took up rock and roll guitar. He made the switch to country not long after, "there's just so much heart in it." In June, Wyatt's career took off. In a nutshell, two trips to Nashville, blessings from Sawyer Brown's Mark Miller and Bucky Covington, and now he's on the verge of stardom. "It's funny how things happen, it's really just all luck," he says. That and an eerie channeling of Hank Williams Sr. His mom says, "It's exciting but scary. I stay on him to keep his grades and attendance up so he can get into a good college." She explains every time they've been to Nashville, they've been told to "go home and live a normal life, cause it's all gonna change." At this point, she and husband Frank think, "yeah right." But I'm thinking that "change is gonna come!" Wyatt is the opening act for national recording artists Joey and Rory at the Clark State Performing arts center next Saturday. The next week, he heads to Indianapolis to play at the FFA Convention with the likes of Lady Antebellum and Easton Corbin. He's also on an upcoming Waylon Jennings tribute album featuring Trace Adkins, Vince Gill and Hank Williams Jr. Wyatt might be tender in age, but there's an old soul in there, "I get that a lot" and he knows exactly what he wants. "I plan on having a long career!" he chuckles, "I want to do this for the rest of my life." Something else to be proud of! Find out more at www.wyattmccubbin.com
