Merle Haggard With Guests The Malpass Brothers And Noel Haggard (8:00 PM)
Merle Haggard - Born outside of Bakersfield, California, things changed dramatically after Merle's father death when Merle was nine years old. With his world turned upside down, Haggard turned rebellious. He found himself doing serious time in San Quentin at the age of 20. Released in 1960, he joined the then thriving Bakersfield country scene which was a harder-hitting honky-tonk groove.
Haggard got a chance to record his own single, Wynn Stewart's composition, Sing A Sad Song that made it into the top twenty. (My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers brought him to the attention of Capitol Records. He had three Top Ten singles in 1967, including his first #1, The Fugitive.
After releasing his next #1, the self-penned Branded Man, Haggard stopped hiding the story of his past incarcerations, and his songs opened a window on the dark life of prisoners and ex-cons including Sing Me Back Home and Mama Tried. His political stance was solidified with Haggard’s most popular song, Okie From Muskogee. Haggard also wrote about more cheerful issues with Daddy Frank (The Guitar Man) and Grandma Harp, both expressing his joy in music and how it saved him in low times.
Though the hits slowed down a bit in the following decades, Haggard never stopped making music. My Favorite Memory and Big City, went to #1 in 1981. He also made albums with George Jones and Willie Nelson. No matter what the current fashion was in music, Haggard has always gone his own way.
Songs: Okie From Muskogee, Hungry Eyes, Working Man Blues, Branded Man, Sing Me Back Home, Today I Started Loving You Again, The Fightin' Side Of Me & Someday We'll Look Back

The Malpass Brothers play vintage country & gospel. Christopher Malpass was simply born in the wrong era! Only in his early twenties, Christopher croons the tunes of the great, late singers such as Hank Wiliams, Sr., Lefty Frizzell, Ernest Tubb and Johnny Cash. Taylor Malpass, just a young teenager, provides novel musicianship for the group! He sports a Gibson mandolin on most of the group songs, but also trills the audience with electric guitar licks in the styles similar to his heroes Billy Byrd (guitarist for Ernest Tubb) and Paul Yandell (guitarist for th Louvin Brothers). The brother duet is joined by their father, Chris Malpass who provides support on the upright bass.

Noel Haggard was born in Bakersfield CA. It's no wonder that his music is of the raw nature....pure, simple and easy on the ears. Born the fourth child of the great living legend Merle Haggard and Billie Leona Hobbs, Noels soul permeates the same taste in music that his father and the country music fore fathers of Merles childhood days, and they are so vividly displayed in Noels music. Not to be denied his roots he has gained many valuable musical lessons from some of the greatest country musicians from the 50's, 60' & 70's. Somehow Noel has taken a little from each influence to make his own delectable sound. His new album is Nite Time Man.

Foghat (8:00 PM)
Foghat began their career in 1971 as a bunch of rather unpretentious young Brits with an affection for American blues and '50s rock 'n' roll. By the middle of the decade, they had evolved into a major touring and recording act, playing a pumped-up brand of boogie-rock.
Fool For the City (1975), which was their first album to go platinum, introduced Foghat to the Top 40 radio with the hit Slow Ride. Night Shift (1976) continued the certified-gold success yielding the hits Drivin' Wheel, I'll Be Standing By and a rocking remake of the R&B classic Take Me To The River.
Stone Blue (1978) contained a ferocious cover of Robert Johnson's Sweet Home Chicago as well as the title track, a top 40 hit. The album went gold, as did the band's 1979 LP Boogie Motel, which included their version of General Johnson's Somebody's Been Sleepin' In My Bed. Foghat continued to tour until early 1985, when Lonesome Dave retired to England after some 16 years on the road.
The band reunited and the original founding band members, toured with their studio CD, Return Of The Boogie Men and the follow-up live CD Road Cases (with Bryan Basset replacing Rod Price in 1999) until Lonesome Dave's untimely death in 2000.
In 2004, veteran Foghat bassist extraordinaire Craig Macgregor rejoined the lineup launching Foghat's hard rocking tradition into the future. In 2006, they released a new double Live CD entitled Foghat Live II to bring the energy and excitement of the current lineup (Roger Earl, Craig MacGregor, Bryan Bassett & Charlie Huhn) to the fans.
Songs: Slow Ride, Drivin' Wheel, Stone Blue, Take Me To The River, I Just Want To Make Love To You, Fool for the City & Mumbo Jumbo

Conrad Bigknife’s third album, Full Circle is a mix of soaring vocals, shimmering guitars and catchy choruses. There’s a simple beauty to these songs that is worth paying attention to. Bigknife grew up in a large, close-knit family on Starblanket First Nation. Growing up, some of his favorite performers were: Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty, Freddy Fender and of course, Johnny Cash. By the age of 13, he was a full on Elvis fan. Bigknife released two albums prior to Full Circle. 1997’s Hurry Up and Wait and 2003’s This World. From his latest album, it’s easy to imagine Hearts and Lucky Charm becoming big roots/country hits. From the opening melodic guitar solos to the choruses that will stick in your head for days, these songs remind country music fans of why they love this genre so much.

Sawyer Brown (8:00 PM)
After 23 years, 3500+ shows, gold and platinum albums, a smattering of awards and more long odds than any act you can think of, Sawyer Brown remains a band you can count on. Never ones to get above their raising, they have a deep appreciation for the heart of small towns, rural realities, lives lived in common places and truths so basic they go unnoticed.
Mark Miller decided to give up life on the University of Central Florida basketball team and strike out for Nashville. Hubbard decided to join him. The pair soon found another Florida boy in Smyth. A rocker from Michigan named Jim Scholten brought the rumble to the bottom end and original guitarist Bobby Randall filled out the band, originally named Savanah - and renamed for Sawyer Brown Road. The band auditioned for "Star Search" solely to get the videotape to send to prospective buyers, but went on to win the whole thing - becoming the original "American Idols" in the process.
Miller-penned hits include: Some Girls Do, The Dirt Road & Step That Step. Taking no prisoners and laying waste to the country fans who show up has given Sawyer Brown the reputation of being a band the other acts don't want to follow, but it's also built them a fan-base that shows up no matter what.
Songs: Some Girls Do, The Dirt Road, Hard To Say, Step That Step, This Time, The Boys & Me, Thank God For You, The Walk & I Don't Believe in Goodbye
