While September is known as the month of backpacks, sharpened pencils, early alarm clocks and kids across the United States returning to school, it’s also a month in which many, many country stars celebrate with cake — because it’s their birth month!
September is quite the month for country music stars to be born; from the 1800s to the 1990s, a slew of country artists have been born in September, and they’ve all left an impact on country music in some way. From Jimmie Rodgers and Hank Williams to Lady Antebellum‘s Charles Kelley and Hunter Hayes, there will be lots of candles being blown out in September.
