A little bit about Calvin...
Country music singer and recording artist Calvin Gilmore considers himself one of the luckiest people in the entertainment industry and one of the main reasons is that instead of having to live on a bus and travel most of the year, he gets to live at his home in Pawleys Island, SC and perform in his very own 2,200-seat state-of-the-art theater with concert lighting and sound in Myrtle Beach, SC.
For the past three years, Calvin has also performed regularly on the world famous Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, TN.
The album, Better Late, was produced by legendary producer, Berry Beckett, and includes Nashville's best studio session musicians.
In 1994, he created Country Music Spotlight, the only national television series ever to originate from SC. Along with Calvin and castmembers from The Carolina Opry, guest appearances were made by everyone from Merle Haggard to Kris Kristopherson.
Calvin is the owner, producer, and director of the award winning Carolina Opry, now in its unprecedented 21st season. Calvin and The Carolina Opry cast have performed to millions of fans and tourists over the past 20 years. Calvin and The Carolina Opry have won every major South Carolina tourism and entertainment award including The Governor's Cup, the state's highest tourism award and was voted the State's Most Outstanding Attraction.
