It’s time to tailgate
With football season around the corner, the Honky Tonk Tailgate Party swings by Harper Stadium at Kay Rodgers Park in Fort Smith on Sept. 6, and features four well-known country performers: Buddy Jewell, Mark Wills, Trent Willmon and Ray Scott.
Although he had been creating a name for himself around Nashville by singing more than 4,000 demo songs, Jewell first stepped into the national spotlight by becoming the first winner of the TV talent show “Nashville Star” in 2003. He’s a native of Arkansas, having been raised in the northeastern part of the state not for from the town of Dyess, the home of one of his idols, the late Johnny Cash.
Jewell, who released a new album in July, recently chatted with the Northwest Arkansas Times about life five years after becoming a radio favorite with songs such as “Sweet Southern Comfort” and “Help Pour Out the Rain (Lacey’s Song).” The article can be found here.
Advanced tickets, which can be ordered at the H Bros Entertainment’s Web site, are $17. Tickets are $20/adults and $10/children at the door.
