*Kurt Van Meter-JOCO Fair

Kurt Van Meter is on a fast track to becoming one of country music's biggest independent stars. Having shared the stage with country icons such as Blake Shelton, Eric Church, Gary Allen, Montgomery Gentry, David Alan Coe, Justin Moore and so many others, and having performed with Garth Brooks, Kurt Van Meter’s music has been making waves in the music industry. Now with his new EP “Echoes of the Outlaws”, Kurt is poised for his greatest success yet.

Kurt’s story is that of true American folklore . From an early age riding shotgun in his Dad’s pick up in Southern Oregon, to his football career at Oregon State University, to his stint as a Law Enforcement Officer, to his days riding bulls and listening to the all time great country artists like Kenny Rogers, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash and even Box Car Willie while working the fields.... Kurt Van Meter doesn’t just sing about country music ideals — he has lived them.

Kurt Van Meter’s take on country music is about life. It is about Love. Love of God, Love of Family and Love of Country. It’s a little bit of Waylon, the Eagles, Hank and the Stones. Kurt Van Meter’s music blends of all these elements, echoing the great spirit of the rock n roll country music outlaws of the past while forging a new country music sound for the future.
