Luke Pell may be best recognized from his time looking for love on season 12 of ABC’s The Bachelorette, but his one true love has always been country music. The Texas native has always felt he could easily relate to the topics and lyrics of country songs, and eventually began writing his own music as a way to vent and express his emotions.
Four years ago, the 30-year-old army veteran made the decision to move to Nashville and pursue a music career. His affinity for songwriting and his military background motivated him to cofound CreatiVets, a nonprofit organization that pairs combat wounded veterans with songwriters to help them tell their story through music.
You can catch Pell live on Sunday, March 18th, 1 p.m. at Rams Head on Stage. Tickets are $21.
