Sam Hunt will headline the Super Bowl 50 NFL Tailgate Party at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco on Sunday (February 7th), along with pop superstar Seal. Sam will perform prior to the big matchup between the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers, and both his performance will be televised as part of CBS’s Super Bowl Sunday pregame show, The Super Bowl Today.

The Georgia native is looking forward to playing at this year’s Super Bowl. “I’m just looking forward to being in the middle of Super Bowl energy. It’s become such a massive pop culture event, and I love that they’ve incorporated music and entertainment with the sport itself and the entertainment value that comes from that,” says Sam. “It encompasses just a strong representation of American culture, and I’m looking forward  to being in the middle of all that positive energy. I’m a huge music fan, obviously, and I’m a huge sports fan, so those are two of my favorite worlds combined there.”

Sam recently earned his first-ever GRAMMY nominations for Best New Artist and Best Country Album. The Grammys will be handed out live February 15th on CBS.

Sam’s debut album, Montevallo, topped the Billboard Country Albums Chart in its first week, and it remains the best-selling debut album for a country artist since 2011. The album has so far produced three consecutive No. 1 Platinum-selling singles with “Leave The Night On,” “House Party” and the Double-Platinum “Take Your Time,” plus Hunt’s latest Top 5 Platinum-selling single, “Break Up In A Small Town.” The monumental album has spent more than a year in the Top 10 on the country album sales chart — nine of those weeks at No. 1.
