Shaboozey has been forced to flee his southern California home as wildfires encroach on the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The largest fire, in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood, is now threatening residents of Brentwood and Encino as it moves east.  Shaboozey was born and raised in Virginia, but moved to L.A. to pursue his music career in 2018.  The singer-songwriter was set to make his onstage debut this Saturday (Jan 18) at the Grand Ole Opry in celebration of Dolly Parton’s 79th birthday. The Opry was Shaboozey's only performance before heading overseas in March for a string of concerts.
