OZARK MOUNTAIN DAREDEVILS: With eight of their albums selling over two million copies and worldwide hits like “Jackie Blue” and “If You Want To Get To Heaven” still in regular classic rock rotation after half a century, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils have come a long way from the Missouri bars and porches where their music was born. Combining stunning vocal harmonies with a distinctive mix of country rock and electric bluegrass, the Dares were one of the most-decorated and inventive bands of the 20th century.

With a grateful heart and an undying spirit, the band embarks on their farewell tour, “When It Shines,” throughout 2024-2025. This final tour promises an electrifying experience, showcasing the band’s classic hits, fan favorites, and a retrospective journey through their illustrious career. Audiences can expect an unforgettable musical celebration of the band’s legacy, with each performance an ode to the enduring impact The Ozark Mountain Daredevils have had on the music industry.

PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE: From their beginnings in mid-60s Southern Ohio as a group of friends playing cover tunes to the present-day unit featuring founding member/innovative pedal steel guitarist John David Call, propulsive drummer/vocalist Scott Thompson, keyboard master/vocalist Randy Harper and featuring new members Jared Camic on bass and vocals, plus ace guitarist/vocalist Jeff Zona, Pure Prairie League’s hit songs include: “Aimee,” “Two Lane Highway,” “Falling in and out of Love,” “Early Morning Riser” and “Let Me Love You Tonight.”
