Ty Herndon
Ty Herndon is a master of the ties that bind. The Grammy-nominated and Dove award-winning recording artist can connect with an audience far beyond his onstage performance. More than 20 years into his career, Herndon has a passion and commitment to his music that continues to play out in his lyrics. “If I haven’t lived it, I haven’t sung it” as Herndon says. Having a career spanning two decades, 20 Billboard charted singles and five million albums sold, Herndon sees no signs of slowing down. For those who know him, his passion and commitment to music is not surprising. He continuously performs shows and withholds a heavy appearance schedule, proving Herndon as unstoppable. Raised in Butler, Alabama, Herndon has been a professional entertainer since his teenage years. At age 17, he performed at OPRYLAND USA as a cast member of “Today’s Country Roads.” He went on to be a finalist in the first season of the now iconic television series, “Star Search” and was a winner in the male-vocalist category. This accolade led to appearances on numerous television shows and commercials. As a live performer, he gained popularity while playing the honky-tonks in Texas, and in 1993 he was named Texas Entertainer of the Year. Since then, he has grown in popularity not only for his songwriting and performing, but for donated time to organizations such as the Trevor Project, Make A Wish, St. Jude, GLAAD, HRC and Feed the Children, and the Bender Leadership Academy just to name a few.
