Neal McCoy

Nobody puts on a show like multi-platinum and award winning country music dynamo Neal McCoy. No other entertainer matches his mix of warmth, humor, and willingness to try everything and anything to make sure that the crowd gets its money's worth. Fans have reciprocated by twice voting him "Entertainer of the Year", buying more than five million of his albums (including three platinum and one gold), and sending his singles to the top of the charts like Wink, The Shake, "No Doubt About It," "You Gotta Love That," "They're Playing Our Song," and many others.



Neals current album Thats Life is the first release off his new label, 903 Music, affectionately name after his East Texas area code. The latest single, Billys Got His Beer Goggles On has climbed the charts and has brought with it the promise of more classic McCoy hoots to come.



Neal has a heart as big as his love of performing. Whether on the road traveling throughout North America playing over 100 dates each year, back at home in Longview, Texas, or at one of many U.S. military bases stationed in various regions overseas, he often reaches out to those who need a lift up. Country fans took note of his efforts, and this year voted Neal the 2005 Academy of Country Music/Home Depot Humanitarian of the Year.



Ten years ago, Neal and his wife, Melinda, founded the East Texas Angel Network (ETAN) which provides financial support for families of children living with terminal or life-threatening illnesses. ETAN has raised over $3 million dollars to date and has helped ease some of the financial burden confronting these special families.



The past few years have widened Neals reach into the world and humanity. He's done some of the toughest gigs you could imagine, where life and death were real issues. Less than two months after the events of 9-11, Neal accepted an invitation from Las Vegas icon Wayne Newton to join him on a tour for the USO. He instantly saw how important these tours are for the morale of our armed forces overseas and has cleared dates from his busy concert schedule when the USO calls on him. He has participated in eight tours including two this past year in the Persian Gulf region.
