An Evening with Dwight Yoakam

Country (Advance Tickets Recommended; 9:00PM)

Dwight Yoakam is an American singer-songwriter, actor and film director, most famous for his pioneering country music. Few entertainers have attained the iconic status of Dwight Yoakam. He was too country for Nashville when he first sought out his musical fortune in the mid-80s, but the truth is his music has always been too unique, too ruggedly individualistic to fit neatly into any one box. Yoakam has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide, placing him in elite company of global superstars. As stellar as his recordings are, Yoakam’s live performances are transcendent.
