Songs for Another Time: Our 5 Favorite Songs Old Dominion Wrote for Other Artists
By Alicia Rohrbach, Marketing & Sponsorship Coordinator
Old Dominion has certainly seen their fair share of success in 2015 and 2016 – with “Break up with Him” going platinum and spending two weeks at #1, “Snapback” reaching RIAA certified Gold status, and “Song For Another Time” climbing to the top spot on the charts. The band is comprised of lead singer Matthew Ramsey, lead guitarist Brad Tursi, guitarist and keyboardist Trevor Rosen, bassist Geoff Sprung and drummer Whit Sellers.
The band received recognition in 2016 winning New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year at the 2016 Academy of Country Music Awards and Breakthrough Group/Duo of the Year at the American Country Countdown Awards. But did you know they were writing tunes before their 2015 release Meat and Candy gained popularity?
