Performance - Merle Haggard January 3, 2010

The word legend couldnt be more apt for Merle Haggard. Its an acknowledgement of his artistry and his standing as the poet of the common man. Its a tribute to his incredible commercial success and to the lasting mark he has made, not just on the country genre, but on American music as a whole. Through deceptively simple lyrics and exceptionally listenable music, there is truth in the stories he tells.Location: Mary Stuart Rogers Theater
