Come out and see Sammy Kershaw LIVE at Cypress Gardens! Sammy was born to modest carpenters from Kaplan, and grew up like most Louisanans- working hard, saying "ma'am and going to church on Sundays. At the age of eleven, Kershaw got his first guitar, a gift from his grandfather. However his father died that same year. Thereafter young Kershaw worked a variety of jobs by while playing roadhouse at night to support his family. He began performing in Aradiana with Louisana legand J.B. Pere. Subsequently, he opened shows for Ray Price, Merle Haggard and George Jones while barely into his teens. When the pressures of growing up fast took their toll in the form of a serious durg and alcohol promblem, he quit his bad habits cold turkey in 1988 and took a break from music to work as a remodeling supervisor at Wal - Mart.
One fo Kershaw's demonstration tapes made its way to Mercury Nashville Records, which released his debut album in 1991. His traditional country voice found a receptive audience in the early 90's, with hits like "Cadillac Style", "She Don't Know She's Beautiful", and a remake of the Amazing Rhythm Aces' "Third Rate Romance". He has some fourteen albums in his career including I Want My Money Back on Audium Records 2003. Some of Kershaws other hits are "Don't Go Near The Water", "Queen Of My Double - Wide Trailer" and "Vidailia"
