“Mamas, don’t let your children grow up to be cowboys!
‘Cause they’ll never stay home and they’re always along,
Even with someone they love.”
—Waylon Jennings
Country music offers listeners a great chance to experience life, in all its downhome grittiness.
The Country Icons Show pays tribute to Alan Jackson, Waylon Jennings, and Merle Haggard, three of the giants in traditional and outlaw country music.
It’s coming to Duncan’s Cowichan Performing Arts Centre on Saturday, March 29 starting at 7:30 p.m.
With Jake Allan, Rob Rowan, and Jason Cooper onstage, you’ll hear the songs you love. All veterans of the country music industry, they have performed in countless honky tonks, casinos and many of the major festivals throughout Canada and the U.S.
Over the years, these artists have come across numerous country music fans expressing their inability to find great “live” traditional country music. Being huge fans of this genre of music themselves, they decided to produce a show to pay homage to three of their favorites.
This talented and stellar trio of singers combines great musicianship with a little humor to bring you a fantastic show.
Along with numerous standing ovations, they’ve been recipients of great reviews from their audiences. Remarks such as “Awesome show”, “Great band”, “Sounded so much like the real thing”, and “You guys knocked it out of the park” are frequently heard.
The Icons’ love for traditional country music shines through in every performance while being supported by an award-winning group of musicians who never cease to deliver. They always look forward to sharing their passion for this great style of music with other like-minded fans.
So, c’mon along, and raise your voice and sing along to these trademark tunes while recalling memories they will conjure up. Saturday, March 29 at the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre will be an unforgettable night of foot stomping country music.
