From the moment you hear
the voice, you know it: powerful and distinct, soulful and passionate,
a voice that could belong to no one else. Stephen Salyers was born on
January 24, 1983 in the small town of Catlettsburg, Kentucky, which
sits directly on the US 23 Country Music Highway. Salyers began
performing at the young age of 12, playing the fair & festival
circuit, civic league events and talent competitions. He is a past
winner of the West Virginia State Colgate Country Showdown and has
opened for elite artists like Ronnie Milsap, The Doobie Brothers and
Wynonna. The singer/songwriter moved to Nashville, Tennessee in January
2005 and landed a spot in the cast of Tanya Tucker's TLC series
"Tuckerville" in August 2005. As a vocalist and entertainer, his
ability to stretch out musically, and connect with his audience
continues. Stephen recently performed for Kentucky Governor Steve
Beshear's Inaugural Ball and entertained the US Army Rangers Mountain
Ranger Open House in Dahlonega, Georgia. The US Army Reserve tapped
Salyers from a list of 40 candidates to serve as an Honorary member of
the Golden Knights. He joined the the Golden Knights Parachute Team in
May for his skydive at Fort Knox, Kentucky. As a philanthropist,
Salyers remains devoted to giving back to a number of charitable
organizations including: Billy Ray Cyrus Charities Foundation, CASA,
River Cities Food Harvest Drive, Ronald McDonald House and Musicians On
Call. Through his charitable endeavors, as a musician, Salyers has been
honored as a Hometown VIP by The Independent newspaper; a Kentucky
Colonel by past Governor of Kentucky, Paul Patton; the Key to the City
of Ashland, Kentucky by past Mayor, Steve Gilmore and with a special
citation presented by the Kentucky State House of Representatives.
Stephen's achievements and his commitment to stretch his artistic
