Biography
Singer/songwriter Jace Everett came into the world in Indiana yet grew up in Texas, where his early days revolved around playing bass and singing in a local church youth group. Drawn equally to gospel sounds and the country stylings of Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, he briefly sampled higher education at Belmont University in Nashville before concluding that a life in music was inevitable. Leaving campus behind, he joined a pop cover band for worldwide tours, married, welcomed a child, and eventually relocated once more to Texas. A string of menial positions—ditchdigger, photographer, truck washer, waiter, among others—followed, as did a divorce, until the restless artist headed back to Nashville. Less than twelve months after arriving, and despite several missteps, he secured a major-label contract with Sony Nashville. Mark Wright and Greg Droman produced his self-titled debut, which appeared in 2005. One year later the track “Bad Things” supplied the theme for the HBO series True Blood, widening the album’s exposure. Everett issued Red Revelations in 2009, Mr. Good Times in 2011, and Terra Rosa in 2013.
