ORLY WOOLDRIDGE

Born and raised in Knoxville, IA Orly grew up with music in his home. He started playing the saxophone at the early age of 8, and over the next few years would win numerous awards for his Jazz band performances. 

​

His love for all things country began in the early 90's when he moved to Colorado. From the cowboy way of life to country music, Orly is a country boy at heart. He began singing Karaoke but fast grew frustrated with having to wait so long in between songs which led him to a duo act called OK Country with Kerri Ann. This Duo was very popular and paved the way for Orly to further refine his talent for singing and performing in the country music scene.

​

Orly is a devoted Father to his two beautiful daughters by day and a singer by night, and an all-around stand-up good guy. We are thrilled to have him as a celebrity judge for Season 1! Shine your boots, and come on out for a great time.
