Country music icon Dwight Yoakam is bringing his unmistakable sound live to the EQC Event Center on Saturday, November 14 along with support from Wynn Williams.
For four decades, Yoakam has helped define a distinctive brand of honky-tonk and country music, earning two GRAMMY Awards and 18 nominations along the way. From the unmistakable swagger of “Guitars, Cadillacs” and “Honky Tonk Man” to fan favorites like “Streets of Bakersfield,” “A Thousand Miles from Nowhere,” “Fast as You” and “Ain’t That Lonely Yet,” his catalog is packed with songs that have become country classics.
Yoakam has recorded more than twenty albums and compilations, charted more than thirty singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, and sold more than 25 million records. Five of his albums were Billboard No. 1s, twelve went gold, and nine platinum, including the triple-platinum This Time. He pushed the boundaries of what was considered “country,” attracting roots rock fans and college audiences. In the ‘90s, he turned his attention to the big screen, notably in critically-acclaimed performances as “bad guys” in Sling Blade and Panic Room – both stretches for mellow Yoakam, who has been described as one of the industry’s true “good guys.” He continues to produce and write well-received albums and songs, and to act for television and film.Now, experience that legendary voice, signature style and Bakersfield-inspired sound live in Tacoma. Whether you’ve been a fan since Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. or you simply love great country music, this is one night you won’t want to miss.
Secure your seats and join us for an unforgettable night with Dwight Yoakam at the EQC Event Center.
