RSM Classic Concert featuring Cole Swindell

Davis Love Foundation will bring rising country superstar Cole Swindell who recently earned his fifth consecutive No. 1 single with “You Should Be Here” to the Golden Isles to perform live at The RSM Classic, an Official PGA TOUR Event, sponsored by RSM US LLP.  The concert, presented by Southeast Georgia Health System, will take place on Saturday, November 19th at 7pm at McKinnon St. Simons Island Airport. “Being from Georgia, going to college here, and loving golf, I couldn’t be more excited to be performing at this event,” said Swindell. “It’s such a cool venue and for a special cause. You should be here.”

Swindell, who studied marketing at Georgia Southern, recently earned his fifth consecutive No. 1 single with “You Should Be Here.” Co-written by Swindell and Ashley Gorley, the song was No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart for four weeks (tally of digital streams, radio airplay and sales) and held multi-week runs on top of both country airplay charts. In addition to selling over 550,000 copies, “You Should Be Here” has racked up over 30 million streams and more than 15 million Youtube views. The single follows Swindell’s first four consecutive singles as a solo artist (including his latest Gold-certified No. 1 smash “Let Me See Ya Girl,” along with Platinum-certified mega hits “Hope You Get Lonely Tonight,” “Ain’t Worth The Whiskey” and “Chillin’ It”) and marks his eighth overall as a songwriter.

Davis Love III, Tournament Host, 21-time PGA TOUR winner and 2016 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain, says of Swindell, “He is a fantastic performer and one of Georgia’s own. There’s no doubt he’ll be performing before a sell-out crowd.”

Singer/songwriter Matt Rogers will open for Swindell. Rogers believes “if you want someone’s attention – be different”.  He has used that approach since he began performing.  He brings the freshest sound in country music and delivers his unique approach to entertainment each time he steps in front of a microphone.  Rogers is rich with emotion and struggle.

In May 2016, Rogers was nominated for the Josie Awards as Country Male Artist for 2016. In November 2015, he was awarded The Georgia Country Awards Overall Artist of the Year. In March 2015, Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) and CMT selected Rogers’ song, "I Was Raised," for a songwriting achievement award. Later that year, "I Was Raised" went on to be selected by NSAI as a Top 40 song. He was selected in August 2015 by NewTown Macon as one of ten artists to contribute an original song for Macon Music Volume 1--a project that best represents the music talent in Central Georgia. As Matt transitions to the next phase of his music career, he knows that he will not let go of the past. It’s the bumps, bruises, and heartache that make for the next country hit that he will record. He will continue to write, perform and meet the people who listen to and embody the Southern traditions and way of life.

“Matt is a perfect opening act for Cole Swindell,” said Scott Reid, the Foundation’s Tournament Director.  “We cannot wait to see him perform in what we know will be a sell-out crowd.  We are so thankful for the support of Southeast Georgia Health System and RSM in order to provide this concert for the residents and visitors of the Golden Isles”.
