Bebo Norman Biography:
Columbus, Georgia is a nice town to grow up in. There are plenty of the amenities of a big city like malls, tons of restaurants, a museum, a planetarium, theater, etc. ... lots to do, lots to see. But Sunday is still Sunday in Columbus. Church and family are important to the people that call that city home. There's not much to do on Sunday's after 6:00 p.m. because most places close up early since Sunday is a time for rest.This is the town that Bebo Norman grew up in. This is the type of influence he had during his formative years. Maybe that's a part of what makes him so real. The magazine covers, the performances in front of thousands of fans, the adoration that blankets those in the spotlight and the awards haven't changed him. He's still the hometown boy whose songs reach out to you on a level that touches both your gut and your soul.
