Concert 2009 Concert Wednesday September 2
Headliner "Blake Shelton"
Blake Shelton was born in Oklahoma. At age 17, he moved to Nashville, and that’s when it all began. He started with a publishing deal and was later signed by Warner Nashville, where he released his self titled debut, “Austin”, which brought him his first No. 1 song right off the bat. This was followed by two other Top 20 songs.
Blake Shelton is not just another one-hit wonder; he has recorded several top songs that have touched the hearts of listeners everywhere. Blake’s current powerhouse new hit single “Home” is rocking the charts in the Country Music World. He sings songs that lyrically tell a story of real-life common struggles and passions. Blake Shelton has shown us how versatile he is. Power ballads that’ll break your heart and songs that’ll make you laugh. Blake has proven over and over that he can deliver any type of song.
In his spare time, Shelton collects pocket knives, hunts and fishes.
Blake will be the headline concert artist for the 2009 Fair & Frontier Days, Wednesday, September 2, at 7:00 pm. Listen for songs like: “Home” She Wouldn’t Be Gone, Austin, Ol’Red, The More I Drink, Some Beach, and Every Time I Look At You.
Opening Act
"Joey + Rory"
With a made-for-TV kind of twist, husband and wife Duo Joey+Rory only started performing as a duo for the audition of CMT's hit series, Can You Duet, in early 2008-but you'd never know it. Bringing beautiful harmonies,
top-notch songwriting plus their natural joyfulness, authenticity and romance to traditional country music, Joey+Rory quickly became fan favorites on the show. As finalists, their rendition of "Cheater Cheater" earned them a huge response and went on to become an internet phenomenon. Joey is a throwback to old school female country entertainers and songwriting is a part of Rory’s life.
Now signed to Vanguard/Sugar Hill Records alongside a venerable roster of alternative country, bluegrass and Americana greats, Joey+Rory's musical journey together is just beginning. “It is great to do what you love for a living, but it’s a whole different game to get to do it with the one you love.”
