From out of the dingy smoke filled barrooms of Bakersfield in the 60’s…to the beloved Visual Arts Collective “Country-fied” in the Live-Work-Create District, come the sounds of Merle Haggard and Buck Owens. Steel guitar, Fender telecaster based honky-tonk without the chicken wire stage protector or three hundred pound bouncers at the door. Not much of this music is around anymore, played by musicians who love it and grew up on that electric country western twang, and wooden dance floors filled with swing dancers on weekend neon nights. Bring your dancing shoes and let's have another Melons party! ?

Support: Andy Byron & Bruce Michael Miller
Doors at 7pm - show at 8pm
Writing hit after hit, Scott, a legend in the bluegrass world has collaborated with Robert Plant, Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, Guy Clark, Mary Gauthier, and many others. Songs by Darrell Scott have been covered by The Chicks, Brad Paisley, Travis Tritt, Faith Hill, Beyoncé, Alan Jackson and more.

Dale Watson is a country music maverick, a true outlaw who stands alongside Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and George Strait as one of the finest country singers and songwriters from the Lone Star State. The Austin-based honky-tonker carries on in the tradition of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson with his “Ameripolitan” brand of American roots music. Album highlights include “Jonesin’ For Jones,” a love song to the music of the legendary George Jones, “A Day At A Time,” about “getting by, by barely getting by;” “Call Me Insane,” the album’s moody title track; “Bug Ya For Love,” a fun warning to all the single ladies, and “Mamas Don’t Let Your Cowboys Grow Up To Be Babies.”(Yes, it is an answer song to the Waylon Jennings/Willie Nelson hit.) “Crocodile Tears” is a tear-in-your-beer country song that sounds like an instant classic and “Burden Of The Cross” reveals Watson’s serious side.

I could NOT BE more thrilled to be opening for Josh Turner! I hope to see some friendly faces out in the crowd, should be a fantastic night of music!
Doors at 6:30pm Show at 7:30pm

MCA Nashville recording artist Josh Tuner comes to the Morrison Center. With countless hits and multiple Grammy, CMA, and ACM nominations, Turner joined the Grand Ole Opry, one of country music's oldest and most hallowed traditions. For almost two decades, Turner has been one of country music's most recognizable voices, selling more than 8.5 million units and amassing more than 2.5 billion global streams.

Turner stays true to the traditions of country music, and with his new album, Josh Turner is definitely in a Country State of Mind.

Come on out to the Sandbar and enjoy the patio, the weather and some great country music! See you there!
