LORETTA LYNN

Friday, May 27, 2011 @ 8:00pm

$44.50 + tax


For fifty years now, Loretta has fashioned a body of work as artistically and commercially successful—and as culturally significant—as any female performer you’d care to name. Her music has confronted many of the major social issues of her time, and her life story is a rags-to-riches tale familiar to pop, rock and country fans alike. The Coal Miner’s Daughter—the tag refers to a hit single, an album, a best-selling autobiography, an Oscar-winning film, and to Lynn herself—has journeyed from the poverty of the Kentucky hills to Nashville superstardom to her current status as an honest-to-goodness American icon.

RONNIE MILSAP

Friday, June 17, 2011 @ 8:00pm

$35.00 + tax


Ronnie Milsap ranks as the pre-eminent country soul singer of his generation. His track record speaks loud and clear: Forty # 1 hits, seven Grammy Awards and eight Country Music Association Awards. Together, they underscore Milsap’s position as one of the best-loved and most enduring artists in country music history. A few of his classic songs are “It Was Almost Like A Song”, “What A Difference You’ve Made In My Life”, “I Wouldn’t Have Missed It For the World”, and Tennessee’s newest state song, “Smoky Mountain Rain”.

LORRIE MORGAN
and
PAM TILLIS

Friday, July 1, 2011 @ 8:00pm

$35.00 + tax


Lorrie Morgan was barely a teenager when she made her first major appearance in 1975 singing “Paper Roses” with her dad, country star George Morgan on the Grand Ole Opry. Since that fateful night, Lorrie has never looked back. Timeless country standards like “Five Minutes”, “Something in Red”, “Watch Me”, and “What Part of No” established Lorrie as a bona fide country star.
Pam Tillis has been a formidable force in country music since her first single hit the charts in 1990. She has racked up 14 Top Five hits including six that hit #1, and has sold over 6 million records. Her hits include “Don’t Tell Me What to Do”, “Maybe It Was Memphis”, “Shake the Sugar Tree”, and “Mi Vida Loca (My Crazy Life)”.

GEORGE JONES

and
Saturday, July 23, 2011 @ 8:00pm

$44.50 + tax


Whether the times have favored honky tonk songs or lushly produced “pop” offerings, George Jones has continued to make his brand of country music, which has produced hits in every decade of the second half of the 20th century. In fact, Jones has had more charted singles than any other artist in any format in the history of popular music. Many consider this member of the Country Music Hall of Fame to be the greatest country singer ever. George Jones is truly a living legend.

We are happy to announce the addition of Wilson Fairchild as the opening act for Friday and Saturday nights with George Jones. The Reid cousins, who seem more like brothers, have sung together as Grandstaff for over 15 years. Along with their outstanding harmony, which is an inherent trademark from their fathers, Harold and Don Reid, members of the Statler Brothers, Wil and Langdon are prolific songwriters who have had over 30 songs published and recorded. In 2010 the duo changed their name to better express who they are. Wilson is Wil's middle name and Fairchild is Langdon's middle name, making up Wilson Fairchild. Click here to see their video "The Statler Brothers Song", a moving tribute to the men and their music.

DON WILLIAMS

Friday, August 19, 2011 @ 8:00pm

$39.95 + tax


Don Williams was recently inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. And rightfully so. With 17 Number 1 hits, Don has an amazing body of work. Some of his classics include "You're My Best Friend", "Tulsa Time", "I Believe In You", "I'm Just a Country Boy", and "Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good". In 2006, during his "Farewell Tour of the World", Don played here in Pigeon Forge. That night he promised the audience that if he ever came out of retirement, he would be back. Mr. Williams is keeping his word. And we are thrilled to be one of the stops on this very limited tour.

GENE WATSON
and
CONNIE SMITH

Friday, September 23, 2011 @ 8:00pm

$35.00 + tax


If you ask any number of country singers who their favorite singer is, a large number of them will respond: “Gene Watson.” Gene has scored over 72 charted songs, including 23 Top Tens and 6 #1 hits over his forty-year career. It is safe to say that most knowledgeable country fans would point to Gene Watson as one of country music’s best ballad singers in the same league as country icons George Jones, Merle Haggard, Vern Gosdin and others who are the standard bearers for honest, traditional country music.
Connie Smith is often referred to as the “Rolls Royce of country singers”. Dolly Parton once said, “There’s only three real female singers; Barbra Streisand, Linda Ronstadt, and Connie Smith. The rest of us are only pretending.” With hits like “Once a Day”, “Ain’t Had No Lovin”, and “If I Talk to Him”, it is easy to understand why in 2002, Connie was voted in at number 9 on CMT’s Greatest Women of Country Music.
