Tim McGraw and Faith Hill: A Love Connection On and Off the Stage

By: Peggy

Tim grew up riding horses and playing baseball in rural Louisiana. When
he was eleven, he accidentally discovered his mother's

deepest secret--that he is the biological son of pro baseball player Tug
McGraw. Tim is currently considered the king of country music.

He holds twenty number one hits, has sold thirty million albums and was
awarded two Grammy¡¯s. Faith has also sold 30 million records

and won four Grammy¡¯s.

On Faith

Faith Hill was born in Star, Mississippi on September 21, 1967. Faith Hill's
real name is Audrey Faith Perry and she was adopted. Her

last name came when she married Daniel Hill. They divorced in 1991. She
grew up singing in her church and at family events. When

Faith was nineteen she headed to Nashville to see if she could make a
career in country music. Faith Hill was "discovered" working a

job at a music publishing company. Her first demo record was cut and the
song was called "It Scares Me".

Faith made her first album with Warner Bros. in 1993. It was titled Take Me
As I Am. With the single, "Wild One", Faith became the

first female country music singer to stay on the Billboard as number one for
four weeks in a row. In 1995, Faith Hill released her

second CD called "It Matters to Me".

She was recently quoted as saying, "Each day I try to get as much out of life
as I can - to keep it real, sincere and very honest.

Hopefully, people can get that from my music. And if I'm lucky, one day
there will be a little spot carved away somewhere that says I

made a contribution."

On The Couple

In 1996, McGraw teamed up with Warner Brothers and artist Faith Hill for
the Spontaneous Combustion tour. It seems that

spontaneous combustion is an appropriate description for this couple¡¯s
beginnings. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill were married in October

1996. As a couple, they've soared to the top of the country charts with
romantic duets such as "Let's Make Love" and "It's Your Love."

Their ballads are inspired by their real-life love story.

People magazine named Faith Hill as one of the 50 "Most Beautiful
People". McGraw's "Everywhere" earned the CMA album of the year

honors in 1998. "It's Your Love", was the first musical partnership between
Tim and Faith. "It¡¯s Your Love" held the No. 1 spot

Billboard¡¯s country singles chart for six weeks. "It¡¯s" received a CMA vocal
event trophy song and single of the year at the ACM Awards

that year. More duets followed with Let's Make Love earning a Grammy.

In 1997, Faith gave birth to their first daughter Gracie. They were gifted with
two more daughters in 2001 and 2003. In a very surreal

sense, it seems these two were destined for each other. Tim¡¯s biological
parentage and Faith¡¯s adoption had to give them a sense of

having something profoundly painful, in common. Neither grew up with
both of their parents. It makes sense that not only do they

share a bond of having suffered somewhat the same experience but that
they value their love and their family above all else. Their

Soul2Soul II Tour proves to be a representation on their love connection
from off stage to on stage.

Soul2Soul II Tour (SS2)

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's Soul2Soul Tour 2000 marked one of the
industry's most successful concert tours in history. All venues

sold-out and the tour created record box office sales. SS 2000 ended
about six years ago. Many have long awaited and anticipated

these months now into 2006. Tim and Faith fans knew they would be back.

Soul2Soul II Tour is expected to exceed 80 concert performances and will
most definitely include the music that McGraw and Hill have

made their trademark over the years. SS2 will be as grand as SS1.
Reports coming in say that many of the venues showcasing SS2

have sold out the tickets in ten minutes. It is expected that the set will be
outstanding as usual. The couple is known for the use of

the round center stage design that allows for all seats in the house to be the
best seats in the house. Soul2Soul II Tour will include

many of Tim and Faith's biggest hits and duets. Many fans have reported
that their love for each other is obvious on-stage. They send

out a powerful vibe that not only entertains but makes many wish they
could experience a connection like that of Tim McGraw and

Faith Hill.
