Why see Dwight Yoakam?
Country Icon Dwight Yoakam hits the road
The young whippersnappers of modern Country owe a lot to Dwight Yoakam. Once shunned by the Nashville elite, the pioneering singer-songwriter is credited with paving the way for Country music's acceptance in the mainstream. His 'hillbilly honkey tonk stylings' earned him a following of fans that called themselves 'Cow-Punks' in retaliation to the polite Country Pop of the late '70s.
It wasn't long before Hollywood came calling and along with international recognition came 5 Billboard number 1 albums, 12 Gold and 9 Platinum records as well as 2 Grammy Awards. With his cowboy hat tilted at a rakish angle, the 60+-year-old has still got the spark that has electrified his stellar four-decade career. The veteran's vocals are as smooth, earthy and soulful as ever, with a dose of that Country twang thrown in for good measure!

Excellent, Fun Show
Traveled to Nee Orleans from Illinois and saw the concert in a cool old theatre.
It was a really fun show, Dwight’s voice is as good as ever, great crowd interaction and lots of energy. Eugene Edward’s is an amazing guitarist and showman as is the multi-instrumentalist, can’t keep track of all the instruments he played.
It was a great night on the soundboard. Quality was clear and solos were very evident. It was a great-into-it crowd. ... Read more

Dwight Yoakam
It was a great show. Dwight still has it even having a
cold. This is the 3rd time I have seen him. The South
Jubilee was sold out. He still has the eye hiding
cowboy hat. He did a tribute to Merle Haggard and a
couple of others.
Cannot wait for Dwight to come back.
Also the auction of an autographed guitar was
touching as funds go to the Vets in Canada. ... Read more
