Easton Corbin was born in Gainesville, Florida and grew up on a cattle farm outside the nearby town of Trenton.
His love of music was born at a young age by his father and grandfather who were always singing. “I always remember music being a part of my earliest memories,” Easton says. When I was growing up, there always seemed to be a radio or record player playing in the house.” Easton’s earliest musical influences originated from hearing Merle Haggard, George Jones and Keith Whitley on the radio and watching TV shows like The Grand Ole
At the age of 15, Easton started taking guitar lessons from local hero, Pee Wee Melton, a former Nashville session player. Melton’s guitar lessons included country music history lessons which fostered Easton's respect for the legends of county music.
It wasn't long before Easton was singing and playing in local bands and opening for major acts coming through the area. He stayed close to home and went to college at the University of Florida, where he gigged on the side while maintaining a near perfect grade point average.
Easton graduated in May, 2006 with honors and a B.S. in Ag Business and Marketing.
