Thomas Rhett Meet & Greet — FAQ

About Thomas Rhett

Thomas Rhett Akins Jr. was born March 30, 1990 in Valdosta, Georgia and raised in Hendersonville, Tennessee — the lake-town suburb on the north side of Nashville that has been the gravitational center of his life ever since his father moved the family there in the early 1990s to chase a Music Row recording career. Rhett Akins Sr. signed with Decca Nashville and put a handful of singles on the country chart through the mid-and-late nineties, then pivoted to songwriting full-time in the early 2000s as part of the Peach Pickers writing trio with Dallas Davidson and Ben Hayslip — a group that has co-written some of the biggest country radio singles of the past two decades. Thomas Rhett grew up watching the songwriter-economy version of Nashville from the inside, on tour buses with his father in the summers and inside the writing rooms on Music Row in the off-seasons. He played drums in college bands and only gradually moved toward the front of the stage and the singer-songwriter side of the family business.

The Big Machine Label Group / Valory Music Co. signing came in 2011. Thomas Rhett's first major-label single "Something to Do With My Hands" landed in late 2012; the debut album It Goes Like This arrived in October 2013 and produced the No. 1 country hits "It Goes Like This", "Get Me Some of That" and "Make Me Wanna" — a quick three-for-three pattern that set the commercial template for the rest of the decade. Tangled Up followed in September 2015, leaned harder into the pop-and-funk-country crossover with singles like "Crash and Burn" and the Jordin Sparks duet "Die a Happy Man" — the latter becoming his career-defining wedding-song single and one of the longest-running No. 1s on the country airplay chart of the 2010s. Life Changes arrived in September 2017 and is the breakthrough record: "Craving You" (with Maren Morris), "Unforgettable", the title track and the wedding-anthem-of-the-decade "Marry Me" all hit No. 1 in succession, and the album took ACM Album of the Year.

Center Point Road in 2019 extended the run. The dual project Country Again: Side A in 2021 and Side B (released in segments through 2022 as Where We Started) marked a deliberate return to harder country textures and a pulling-back from the funk-and-pop crossover that had defined the Tangled Up and Life Changes era. Where We Started arrived in April 2022 with the title track Katy Perry duet anchoring the radio cycle. About a Woman arrived in August 2024 as a song cycle and tribute project built around his wife Lauren Akins, who has co-written several of the records and whose presence runs through the lyric content of nearly every Thomas Rhett project. The family-man brand has been a deliberate and durable narrative across the entire decade: four daughters (Willa Gray, Ada James, Lennon Love and Lillie Carolina), a marriage that started as a high school friendship in Hendersonville, two memoirs co-authored with Lauren (Be a Heart and Where We Started), and a recurring set of songwriter cuts that treat marriage, fatherhood, faith and the suburban-Nashville domestic life as serious material rather than throwaway color. The touring routing has scaled with the catalogue — theater and amphitheater dates in the early years, full headline arena tours from the Life Changes cycle forward — and the audience has remained broad, multi-generational and demographically wider than the deep-country end of the format.
