Sawyer Brown in Springfield

Sawyer Brown is an American country and country-rock band formed in Apopka, Florida, in 1981. Fronted by Mark Miller, the group became widely known after winning the televised talent competition Star Search in 1984. Its best-known songs include “Step That Step,” “The Walk,” “Some Girls Do” and “Thank God for You.” The 1984 Star Search run introduced Sawyer Brown as a live act to a national television audience. The band then spent decades performing at fairs, festivals, theatres and casinos, a road history documented in the film Get Me to the Stage on Time. Its concert record also includes appearances at the Grand Ole Opry.
