June 28, 2012
It's concert time at Chastain Park Amphitheater! Pack your picnic basket, gather your friends and immerse yourself in the Delta Classic Chastain experience. The distinguished setting is more tradition than venue, and the eclectic line-up of top performers guarantees musical memories! This is one of my favorite places to go during the summer, and if you've never been, it's an experience you well, need to experience. Scroll down to see the complete Delta Classic Chastain schedule below, or simply CLICK HERE. (Read my LEAD ARTICLE about my experience a few weeks ago...always bring a poncho and a dry towel just in case of unpredictable storms!!!)

Coming up Saturday, July 14th! It's Kenny Rogers and Glen Campbell....the gambler and the midnight cowboy! Need I say more? This is Glen Campbell's "Goodbye Tour" - read more about his struggle with Alzheimer’s disease on his website HERE.  If you're a fan, you'll want to be at this show.

Known for his instantly identifiable sweetly raspy vocals and an extraordinary ability to vividly inhabit each song he performs, Kenny Rogers has sold more than 120 million records worldwide and recorded more than 65 albums during his storied career of more than 50 years. His long list of timeless classics includes an impressive 24 #1 hits – “The Gambler,” “Lady,” “Lucille,” “She Believes in Me,” and “Islands in the Stream” among them. His Greatest Hits album has sold over 24 million copies worldwide to date. He is the RIAA’s 8th best selling male artist of all time with 1 Diamond album, 19 Platinum albums and 31 Gold albums. Rogers has received hundreds of awards for his music and charity work, including three Grammys, 11 People’s Choice Awards, 18 American Music Awards, eight Academy of Country Music Awards and five Country Music Association Awards.

Glen Campbell is an American country music singer, guitarist, television host and occasional actor. He is best known for a series of hits that includes “Rhinestone Cowboy,” Galveston,” “By The Time I Get To Phoenix,” and “Southern Nights,” as well as for hosting a variety show called “The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour” on CBS television. During his 50 years in show business, Campbell has released more than 70 albums. He has sold 45 million records and racked up 12 RIAA Gold albums, 4 Platinum albums and 1 Double-Platinum album. He owns trophies for Male Vocalist of the Year from both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music and took the CMA’s top honor as 1968 Entertainer of the Year.
