2009 Carrie Underwood

You've loved her on American Idol! You've enjoyed her terrific recordings and admired her wholesome lifestyle. But you've never fully experienced the magic -- till you've heard Carrie Underwood live in concert! This brainy, sexy, multi-talented performer was born in Oklahoma in 1983. She began singing in public at an early age, and competed in beauty pageants -- but always found time for high academic achievement and for practicing her music. Eventually she graduated magna cum laude from Northeastern State University, and became a virtuoso pianist and guitar-player.

Underwood first gained national attention on the popular TV talent competition American Idol. With her unforgettable renditions of 'Alone', 'Could've Been', and 'Angels Brought Me Here', this beautiful young woman brought down the house and had the sometimes hard-to-please judges scrambling to find superlatives to describe her. No flash-in-the-pan, Underwood followed up her initial success with a series of monster hits: 'Inside Your Heaven', 'Jesus, Take the Wheel', and 'Don't Forget to Remember Me'. Her 2005 debut album Some Hearts was the fastest-selling country record in fifteen years and has been certified triple-platinum.

Carrie Underwood has always projected an image of clean-cut, down-home loveliness and a wholesome, bright charm. She has received numerous citations for being a very positive role model for youth and has won the applause of thousands of patriotic Americans with her stirring performances of our national anthem. Since her explosive first appearances, Underwood has won awards from Billboard Music, the Gospel Music Association, Country Music TV, and the Academy of Country Music.

One of the first things everybody noticed about Carrie Underwood was what an amazing live concert-artist she is. Like all great chanteuses, Underwood lights up the stage and touches every heart with her awesome vocal deliveries. A ticket to a Carrie Underwood performance is a treat you will never forget!
