Early on, King Kountry Wayne had visions of being a huge success in the music industry. Following that dream, he placed his life savings behind a music venture but that didn’t yield him the success he’d hoped for. During a time of soul-searching, he realized he was blessed with the gift to make people laugh, and it blossomed from there. You have probably heard the stories of “starting from the bottom -- now we here” before, but Wayne’s story is a little different! Yes, there have been a few mistakes along the way, yet those same mistakes that could have defeated him have instead created a man who is resilient and even more focused on making sure the people he is graced enough to impact find laughter through the pain. Experience King Kountry Wayne for yourself when he hits the stage of Arlington Draft House. [less-]
