Heath Sanders is a hard-working, gravel-voiced country artist who went from Arkansas oil worker to successful musician after an acoustic cover of Chris Stapleton's "Either Way" that he posted on his social media page went viral. With his robust baritone and relatable blue-collar esthetic, Sanders quickly became a hot commodity, and in 2019 he inked a deal with Big Machine Records imprint Valory Music Co. Drawing from his Ozark upbringing, he released a trio of singles -- "Bloodline," "Down on the South," and "Proud" -- all of which appeared on his debut EP, Common Ground, in 2021.
