Steve Ray Ladson Wows Crowd (and Catches Mel B’s Eye) With Original ‘Blackgrass Brothercana’ Anthem ‘Back of My Truck’
Country singer Steve Ray Ladson wowed the crowd and judge Sofia Vergara on Tuesday's (June 17) 'AGT' with his original song 'Back of My Truck.'
The Hopkins, S.C. native with the big smile confidently told judge Howie Mandel that he’s made a living “all my life” making music, though he’s only been at it professionally for 15 years. Cradling his banjo, the musician who has performed with the Blind Boys of Alabama and Robert Randolph and the Family Band said he came on the show to share his signature musical genre, which he calls “Blackgrass Brothercana.” ‘Cause you want to go in the back of his truck!” Ladson got a standing ovation and big props from the judging panel, with Vergara saying he was her favorite music act of the season so far.
