Cleveland County Sheriff's Office releases July stats SHERIFF NORMAN Country Music Performer Jon Langston Returns to Present Concert at GWU Since leaving the campus of Gardner-Webb Univer- sity seven years ago, Jon Langston, a native of Lo- ganville, Ga., has played sold out shows across the country and logged over 500 million streams. On Sept. 18, Langston is re- turning to perform at GWU, the place where he wrote "Forever Girl," the song that launched his career. The concert in the Paul Porter Arena of the Lutz- Yelton Convocation Center is a fundraiser for GWU. It begins at 9 p.m. after the football game between the Runnin' Bulldogs and the Lincoln Lions of Pennsyl- vania. Tickets are $25, with GWU students admitted free with ID. "I've been wanting to come back to Gardner- Webb for a long time. So many great memories in the small town of Boiling Springs," Langston refl ect- ed. "I got to play Division I college football there, I met some of my best friends in the world there, and that's also where my music ca- reer started. I remember writing "Forever Girl" on the front porch of a small house where I lived with some buddies off Pat- rick Avenue. I've always wanted to come back and put on a free show for the students and give back to the school that gave me so much. We've been working on this for a long time, and I'm so thankful it has fi nally worked out. Huge thanks to Coach (Tre) Lamb, Dr. (Wil- liam) Downs and the whole GWU Administration staff to allow us to come back to put on a concert for the school. Sko Dawgs!" Langston started play- ing the guitar in the eighth grade, but put his guitar down to play football. He was recruited by Gardner- Webb in 2009 but after several concussions, doc- tors advised him to stop playing football in 2013. He picked up the guitar again and started writing songs, sometimes during class. In an interview that year, Langston explained why: "If I'm sitting there and I think of a great idea for a song I've got to get it down be- cause if I go back to it later, I'll forget what I was think- ing about earlier." While at Gardner-Webb, Langston took part in open mic nights at the local cof- fee shop, where he utilized feedback from the audi- ence to make adjustments on new songs. Eventually he posted audio tracks on YouTube of three origi- nal songs, "Forever Girl," "Oklahoma," and "Young & Reckless." Within days of the release, he had several thousand views and the songs were available on iTunes. From that fi rst release, Langston gained recog- nition and popularity. He opened for Luke Bryan on his Farm Tour in 2017, which was a full circle mo- ment having attended as a spectator of the Farm Tour only a few years be- fore in Athens, Ga. He was invited to perform on the tour again in 2018 and joined Luke in support of his Sunset Repeat Tour in 2019. Langston signed a publishing deal with Sony ATV, management with KP Entertainment, and is the fi rst artist signed under Luke Bryan's new Label 32 Bridge Entertainment with EMI Records Nashville. His debut major label single, "When It Comes To Loving You," reached No. 1 on the all-genre iTunes Chart. His single, "Now You Know," reached the Top 30 on the radio charts. Langston's current release, "Try Miss- ing You," is his most per- sonal song yet, where he sings about the struggle of life on the road.
