Sean Mettler In Concert (Part 2)

August 6, 2012

Country singer/songwriter guitarist Sean Mettler has experienced the sweet taste of success as well as the cruelty of the music biz. At 16, a young Jason Williams joined Sean’s band near his hometown in Forsyth, Georgia. Williams was quickly discovered, left the band to go to Nashville, dropped his last name, and after a few years became a superstar known as Jason Aldean. Meanwhile, Sean never got the call to join Jason as his guitarist, but after a few ups and downs in Nashville, things are headed in the right direction for Sean here in Forsyth County. Last month he won the Forsyth County Entertainment Awards Country/Folk Artist of the Year. This week his face graced the cover of Relish Magazine, and he’s just formed a new band.

You can hear Sean in concert Friday, August 10, at the Oasis Café in Rural Hall, and on August 24, he’ll perform at the BB&T Ballpark. Later that night Sean will play live at Big Shot’s Tavern in Clemmons.
