Josh Turner will be the headline act at Saturdays “A Taste of Country†concert at Ellis Park. Turner will be following fellow Josh, Josh Thompson, Casey James and Glen Templeton on the infield stage.
Some Turner tunes that may people will recognize include, “Your Man,” “Will You Go With Me”, and “Why Don’t We Dance.” Casey James may seem familiar to Tri-State fans of American Idol as he rode repeated appearances on the show straight into a music career.
A music festival at Ellis Park is not a new venture but it has been over a decade since the last big musical event took place there. The venue that is clearly the largest outdoor venue in the area can accommodate up to 10,000 people.
Country Radio Giants WBKR 92.5, WKDQ 99.5, and parent company Townsquare Media have teamed up with Ellis Park to bring back an outdoor music festival in the ideal month of September when the weather is not to hot, not to cold, but just right.
IF YOU GO: Gates will open at 4:30 p.m. for the concert, which will begin at 6 p.m. Tickets are $25 (of which $2 goes to 911 Gives Hope), available at the gate or in advance at www.eventbrite.com online or at the radio station’s studios.
Here’s a Taste of the Country that you will hear:
Good show. Hope they do it again.
