Sundance Head is the singer who wowed The Voice audience and stole Blake Shelton’s heart! If you don’t know him yet, let’s backtrack a bit. Head is a name that became the name to know after his big win on season 11 of The Voice in 2016.

If you missed that, where were you? He was the contestant with the voice that gave chills. A deep, soulful tone that could make you want to throw back a cold beer and watch the sun set over a Texas ranch.

Let’s not forget, though, that his musical journey didn’t start there. Before all the fame and attention from The Voice, Head was already making waves. He had actually competed on American Idol back in 2007, where he made it to the top 16.

But things didn’t work out for him that season (Jordin Sparks ended up winning). That didn’t stop him, though. Fast forward to 2016, and boom! He was a Voice champion, and this time, there was no holding him back.

Since then, Head has dropped some seriously good music. His discography includes albums like 2016 & Gruene (2012), Soul Country (2015), Stained Glass and Neon (2019), and Starting Again (2022).

Each album reflects his journey, his roots, and that unmistakable country soul. There is no doubt—this man’s vocals are like butter, and fans love that he has the chops to back up his wins. These days, Head isn’t just resting on his laurels, either.

Sundance Head isn’t the type to sit still for long. His calendar is packed with shows all over Texas, and he’s already got a full December lineup, with nearly a dozen shows scheduled for early 2024 (according to his website).

But it’s not just the live gigs keeping him busy. He is also deep into creating new music. The singer is also working on a brand new album called The Road to Redemption. If that title doesn’t get you hyped, what will? Fans are eagerly waiting for what’s next, and if his past work is any indication, it’s going to be fire.

And let’s not forget about his musical talents. He’s a jack of all trades—playing guitar, bass, piano, and of course, singing. If you’ve ever seen him live, you know the man’s a full package.

Head has got that raw energy that makes a crowd go wild, and his stage presence? Straight-up magnetic. So yeah, life’s been pretty sweet for him. But it hasn’t all been easy. His career is thriving, but he’s still got a lot of challenges ahead.

Sundance Head’s ride-or-die is Misty Head. This woman has been by his side through thick and thin. They’ve been married for 18 years (yes, that’s almost two decades of love and support). That’s no small feat in today’s world.

Misty’s been a steady rock for Head, keeping him grounded while he’s out there living his music dreams. Together, they’ve got two kids—Levi, who’s 18, and Brazos, who’s 10. Misty’s roots are in Texas too. While Misty keeps a relatively low profile and doesn’t seem to be chasing the limelight, she’s been a huge part of Head’s journey.

According to Taste of Country, 2024 hasn’t been all easy street for the Head family. Misty has been battling a serious health issue—face cancer. Last year, she underwent surgery to remove cancerous tissue, which left her with a scar. Head has been open about how hard it’s been on their family, sharing updates with fans via social media.

The love between these two is evident. They’ve been through the ups and downs of life, and through it all, Misty has been there every step of the way. Their bond is something fans admire, especially as they continue to raise their two sons in the spotlight.

Okay, now let’s talk about something that took everyone by surprise: Sundance Head was recently shot. In a freak accident at his Texas ranch, the country singer was struck by a stray bullet. Imagine that—one minute he’s just chilling at home, and the next, he’s in a helicopter being rushed to the hospital.

It all went down when a bullet fired from a nearby hunter’s rifle hit the 46-year-old in the stomach. It lodged into a fatty part of his abdominal wall, missing all of his vital organs. A close call, for sure. But thankfully, Head didn’t need surgery, and he was stabilized on the way to the hospital in Tyler, Texas.

Misty, his wife, kept fans updated on Facebook, letting everyone know that he was going to be okay. The family was shaken up by the incident, but Head is a fighter, and he’s already on the road to recovery.

As for how the accident happened, we don’t have all the details. It seems the bullet came from a nearby hunter, but the full story is still unclear. What we do know is that it wasn’t self-inflicted, and it wasn’t intentional. The incident was just a fluke, and now, Head is focusing on getting back to doing what he loves—music.
