"8 Decades of Country Music": Tribute Spans Gene Autry to Garth Brooks & Beyond

From cattle rustlers singing around the campfire to rhinestone cowboys rocking stadiums, "8 Decades of Country Music" covers the development of country in a single, blockbuster tribute. Starting in the '40s with the songs of Gene Autry and Jimmy Davis, it proceeds through the '50s (Hank Williams Sr, Johnny Cash, Elvis), '60s (Merle Haggard, George Jones, Buck Owens), '70s (Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, John Denver), '80s (George Strait, Randy Travis, Dwight Yoakam), '90s (Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Tim McGraw), '00s (Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith, Rascal Flatts) and '10s (Blake Shelton, Zac Brown Band, Dierks Bentley). Backed by a five-piece band, vocalists Fred McCarty, Eddie Kendrick and Woody V. bring this heroic undertaking to the historic Bal Theatre.
