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!

@ the Bakersfield Fox

My brothers & I traveled a couple hours each to see this show. We were not disappointed. Great venue, sound was good. The band was GREAT! Dwight was Dwight @ his best. & Why Not? The show was in BAKERSFIELD!! Pretty much one hit after another, a couple stories & the only problem is, he’s got so many great songs, he can’t play them all in 2+ hours!👍👍👍 ... Read more

Dwight Yoakam was FANTASTIC!

Drove 2 hrs up to Albany to see Dwight and his band. I enjoyed his show thoroughly. He’s an amazing artist and it was a real joy to see him perform. Seeing Dwight Yoakam in concert has always been at the top of the list. My other top of the list was Joshua Bell the violinist so I have pretty eclectic music taste. As long as the talent is there and the music is moving then count me in. Dwight Yoakam is a rare talent. Right up there with Johnny Cash. My feet hurt today from dancing solo in the aisle of the orchestra level. I couldn’t sit still in my seat! Great great night and a wonderful memory. ... Read more
