Born in Porter, Texas, Sundance Head is the son of American singer Roy Head who’s best known for his 1965 hit “Treat Her Right”. Sundance was a semi-finalist on FOX’s American Idol but lost in the first week. He later went on to win NBC’s The Voice, as part of Team Blake Shelton. We talked to Sundance on The Way Too Early Show about his time on The Voice, his fame, and what’s next.
Texas boy in California… how’s the food there?
The food’s horrible, man. There’s no real Mexican food here, no BarBQ, they take the yoke out of their eggs, and no one drinks real milk. It’s all 2%, low fat and I don’t know if you’ve seen me or not but I’m built for speed and I dang sure don’t want to be drinking half and half milk.
How was the first day… the audition?
I auditioned at Houston in the baseball field, you walk in and sing in a group with twelve others with one of the producers and if you make it through that, they send you to a smaller audition. Then we met with executives in Burbank, California. Then if you got through that, you got the “Blind Auditions” with the crew and if you get through that you’re on the show. It takes a lot of hard work and luckily we have a good camp that helped me and the family out with my kids, the animals, and daily life that you have to abandon to go chase a dream like this.
I feel anointed, in a way, to be able to speak about religion and faith on a major network T.V. show like that and to come into people’s living rooms and try to spread the Good Word. If I can use music to try to break down some of these walls… I’d love to do that.
A few weeks before the finale you performed “Me and Jesus” which went to #1 on Country Billboard and #2 overall. Tell us about that night.
I tell you what, I think I actually caught the Holy Ghost about the third verse. I didn’t know what to do. I could have started speaking in tongues… I may have done the alligator.
How are you taking all this newfound fame?
We always thought we had everything it would take to really put on a good show. We had to take the long way and get on national T.V. and do it 
ourselves. I’m just thankful I have the opportunity to let people hear and see me perform. It’s a dream come true with such a huge platform. I feel very blessed.
What’s next after this win from Sundance Head?
I’m hoping to get back home and get back to work with the band. I want to first spend a few weeks recovering and spend time with my family, head out to the woods and do some hunting and fishing. Then it’s back to the road.
As you read this, Sundance is out in the woods, enjoying his win on NBC’s The Voice. His new single “13 Years” can be heard exclusively on 94.9 The Outlaw.
