GREENVILLE, Pa.—Thiel College announces Nashville recording artist Craig Campbell will perform at the William A. Passavant Memorial Center at 9:30 p.m. April 11 for the College's spring concert.

He broke through the country music scene with the release of his self-titled debut album in 2011, which delivered the hits “Family Man,” “Fish,” and “When I Get It.” Campbell's Top 15 debut single “Family Man” was featured on HBO’s True Blood and the top-selling fan-favorite “Fish” has sold nearly 400,000 digital downloads. Campbell scored his first Top 10 hit with the catchy, up-tempo “Keep Them Kisses Comin’” in 2014. It reached No. 9 on the U.S. Country Airplay charts.

Campbell also co-wrote the song “All American Kid” featured on country music legend Garth Brooks’ new album, Man Against the Machine. Campbell has achieved four consecutive charted hits with over a billion radio airplay audience impressions and over a half million downloads. The Georgia native co-wrote six of the 12 songs on his 2013 sophomore project, Never Regret.
