Hundreds of Jacksonville-area musicians and singers have made their mark in the world of music. While many may think mostly southern rock when they think of Jacksonville, there have been some country artists and country songs that have a link to here.

Tim McGraw was conceived in Jacksonville, born and raised in Louisiana, then came to the area to live with his mom after a semester of college. He stayed in the area for about 18 months according to his recollection before going to Nashville and finding superstardom. He sang around town at different venue, including the old Pappa s Nightclub.
