Mile One Centre in St. John's announced today that Gene Watson is bringing his tour to the facility Sept. 6.
A news release describes Watson as a singer in country music's grand tradition and has the skill to give powerful vocal performances and draw emotion from his selected material effortlessly.
"Watson has remained true to his Texas music roots for the best part of 30 years and is a standard bearer for honest, traditional country music," the release states.
Following years of honing his country music craft around Texas, Watson emerged on the American country music scene in July 1975. He earned himself a reputation as one of the best of the new "real country" singers to emerge on the scene and for adhering to a traditional country sound, characterized by prominent steel guitar and swirling fiddle.
His hits include, "Paper Rosie", "One Sided Conversation", "Farewell Party" and "Nothing Sure Looked Good on You."
Tickets go on sale Friday at noon. Tickets are $48 including tax, plus applicable surcharge and can be purchased at the Mile One Box Office; by phoning 709-576-7657, toll free at 1-800-361-4595 or online at www.admission.com.
