From ignored underdogs in Nashville to overnight rock stars from LA to New York, they swept the competition and won. Since 1984, "the boys" legendary live shows, along with their relentless drive to stay true to themselves, have captivated faithful fans around the world.

As front man and lead singer of the band, Mark Miller's rise to fame wasn't exactly the path he envisioned for himself. After losing his father, Mark was raised by his mom whose solid faith and strong work ethic helped guide and shape him and his brother, Frank.

Now, forty years later, Sawyer Brown has eighteen studio albums to their name, multiple No. 1 singles, fifty-plus songs charting on the Billboard Hot Country Songs, and legendary award-winning videos. And they have no plans of stopping any time soon. The band's longevity is a testament to their strong songwriting, high-energy performances, and hard work.
