Tuesday Aprii 29,2014 Georgia Southern University THE w ww.thegeorgeanne.com Volume 87 • issue 6 GEORGE-ANNE Joe Nichols gets ready to rock Paulson

BY LINDSAY GASKINS The George-Anne contributor

Anticipation is in the air as Statesboro prepares for the performance of the semester as Lady Antebellum, Joe Nichols and Kristian Bush pack Paulson Stadium Friday night for the Take Me Downtown Tour. One of the opening performers, Joe Nichols, points out that he is just as excited as the students. "It will be an energetic night no matter what, I love that. I think that there is a youthful energy in a college atmosphere that can't be duplicated in your average arena or amphitheater," Nichols said. Nichols got his start from watching his dad perform at an early age and knew he was meant to be a performer. "He played music from as far back as I can remember and I kind of fell in love with it back then, watching him play and sing and watching people react to the way he played and sang. It kind of felt like something I was born to do," Nichols said. He first got his start in 1999 after signing a record deal with Warner Brothers, but quickly parted ways in 2000. "It's kind of come together several times. I moved to Nashville in '97 and I got my first record deal in '99 which ended with a parting of ways with Warner Brothers in 2000. I got my deal with Universal South in 2001 and it was a match straight from heaven in the beginning. That's where everything kind of started for me," Nichols said.
