Marty Haggard is definitely a chip off the old block.  The son of legendary singer/songwriter Merle Haggard is blessed with a golden voice and a true dedication to his music and career. Marty was privileged to be a part of his dad’s career and had the opportunity to meet many of the country greats.  After touring with his father for some time, Marty signed his own record contract and one of his first releases, Trains Make Me Lonesome garnered him a nomination as best new male country artist.  In 2010 he recorded a tribute album that consisted of 15 of Merle’s classics.  For two years he performed his tribute show in Branson, Missouri before taking the show on the road.

Since that time Marty has been charming audiences with his stories and songs honoring the memory of one of country music’s greatest artists.  Friday, August 24, you have the chance to relive the life of Merle through the eyes of someone who knew him best.  Marty Haggard and his band will be in concert at Cowboys & Hippies LakeView Lodge on August 24 at 7PM.  Doors open at 6PM.   $25 advance general admission tickets are on sale now at the Brownwood Chamber of Commerce (325-646-9535), by phone at 1-800-838-3006, or online at martyhaggardtickets.com. Tickets will be $30 at the door.  For more information on Marty Haggard and the tribute tour you can go online at martyhaggardtickets.com.
