Lead Summary

Wyatt McCubbin, a Southeastern High School sophomore and up-and-coming country music performer, will bring his music to Hillsboro's Colony Theater on Friday, Feb. 25.
McCubbin, 16, has been working with Witt Stewart, CEO and founder of Scatter Records, and is scheduled to be the new artist on the "Waylon Jennings – The Music Inside, Volume 2" coming out June 14.
Last fall, McCubbin went to Nashville to record “A Long Time Ago” for the Waylon Jennings tribute album.
This project will officially introduce "this unknown kid from Selma, Ohio," writes Andrew McGinn in the Springfield News Sun.
"He’ll be in good company, too. Scheduled for release in early 2011, the album also will feature the likes of Jamey Johnson, Sheryl Crow, Hank Jr. and Kris Kristofferson," McGinn said.
According to his webpage, McCubbin first discovered a passion for guitar through football. "In the seventh-grade, I suffered a broken arm during a game. While healing, I learned to play acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, bass and harmonica."
In the two years after his injury, McCubbin wrote and produced his first album, “Gotta Long Way To Go,” and discovered a knack for singing and songwriting that would ultimately lead him to Nashville. In June 2010, he began to pursue his career in earnest, and got the rare opportunity to perform in Nashville as part of a tribute concert for the late Merle Kilgore.
McCubbin has already opened for the country music duo of Joey & Rory and he has lots of relatives and fans in Highland County, says his mother, Jerri Kay McCubbin, who invites the community to the Feb. 25 concert.[[In-content Ad]]
