Colt Ford's nickname should be Mr. Goodtime, because as he showed fans at Colorado's 2015 Country Jam, he knows how to bring a helluva good time. With his gun mic stand and the familiar American flag attached to it, Ford made the fest's main stage his domain for his hour-plus set.

Colt Ford and Keith Urban have crossed paths many times. The two were both scheduled to perform during the first night of the 2015 Taste of Country Festival, and they've recorded a song together called "She's Like."

Growing up, Colt Ford played several sports, but despite a love for 'the game,' music eventually found him, he says. The singer stopped by Taste of Country to chat about music, his childhood and his 'Thanks for Listening' album, which hit in July.
