Dwight Yoakam has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide, and he is a 21-time nominated, multiple GRAMMY Award winner. He has 12 gold albums and 9 platinum or multi-platinum albums, with five of those albums topping Billboard’s Country Albums chart and another 14 landing in the Top 10. Nearly 40 of Yoakam’s singles have charted on Billboard, with 14 peaking in the Top 10. Yoakam is a recipient of the Artist of the Year award from the Americana Music Association, the most prestigious award offered by the organization, he will be inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in the Songwriter/Artist category at the 49th anniversary Gala on October 14, 2019 in Nashville, TN.

Yoakam’s self-curated SiriusXM channel, titled Dwight Yoakam and The Bakersfield Beat ‘Where Country Went Mod’ launched in April of 2018. The channel celebrates the Bakersfield sound and those whom it has inspired. Guests have boasted the likes of Post Malone, Lukas Nelson, Beck, Chris Hillman, Jakob Dylan, Mike Nesmith and Mickey Dolans, Dave Alvin, and Jackie DeShannon, among others.

In 2016, Yoakam released his bluegrass album Swimmin’ Pools, Movie Stars… on Sugar Hill Records. Featuring a band of bluegrass luminaries, this album boasts a collection of reinterpreted favorites from his catalogue, as well as a cover of Prince’s “Purple Rain”. Produced by nine-time GRAMMY winner Gary Paczosa (Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton), Jon Randall (songwriter of “Whiskey Lullaby”), and Yoakam himself, and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge, this album reflects the love for bluegrass music that Yoakam developed at an early age in Kentucky and that has inspired him for many years thereafter. In 2018, Yoakam released two songs, “Pretty Horses” and “Then Came Monday” (the latter written with Chris Stapleton).

In addition to his musical career, Yoakam is a formidable film and television actor who has appeared in over 40 feature films, including Sling Blade and Panic Room. Most recently he was on the big screen in Clint Eastwood’s latest film, Cry Macho. He recurred in David E. Kelley’s Amazon series Goliath and appeared in director Steven Soderbergh’s film Logan Lucky with Channing Tatum and Daniel Craig.

Event Details

Hey, Umphrey’s McGee fans! Can’t get enough of the live music of one of the greatest jam bands in the world? You are in luck as your favorite Umphrey’s McGee announced additional shows for their 2022 tour this September and October. Yes, you’ve read that right! As an answer to calls for additional shows, the Indiana-native band will be heading to Georgia’s Johnny Mercer Theatre this October 1 for another electrifying concert that will leave you in complete awe. Prepare for a night of timeless hit songs, impressively choreographed visuals, and superb instrumentations. The band will also perform songs from their new album released this July. Thus, we know it will be a jam-packed jam session for all of us to see. So, what are you waiting for?

Formed by students at the University of Notre Dame in December 1997, Umphrey’s McGee’s ambitious and musically versatile acts got them noticed among several jam bands when they were still starting out. Over the years, the band established a dedicated following among fans who loved their music’s blend of funk, electronic, metal, progressive rock, jazz, and folk. Their live shows in the early 2000s became a go-to for jam-band fans who were so enthralled by their numerous live and studio albums, including 2006’s “Safety in Numbers” and 2009’s experimental “Mantis.”

As a jam band, UM stood out as unique among other bands because they continually set up programs offering live recordings to fans immediately after the show. They also crafted their special “Hall of Fame” album series wherein fans vote on the band’s best performances of the year to be released on an annual live compilation.

The band continued to thrive in the 2010s. They have toured all over the country, released six studio albums, and released the “Hall of Fame” series from 2010 to 2020. Included in the six studio albums are an album tracked at London’s famed Abbey Road Studios and the companion albums “It’s Not Us” and “It’s You,” released in 2018.

Recently, the band announced another album, entitled “Asking for A Friend,” to be released in July. This is a follow-up to their successful album “You Walked Up Shaking In Your Boots But You Stood Tall And Left A Raging Bull,” released in 2021.
