With a sound all their own, they racked up more than 50 charting singles, including ‘90s country staples like “Some Girls Do,” “Thank God for You,” “The Walk” and “This Time.” In 2024, the band released Desperado Troubadours, their first new album in nearly two decades, co-produced by longtime fan Blake Shelton. Be there when they hit the road with their newest tour and signature sound.
Sammy Kershaw - April 16, 2026 - Steinmetz Hall
Celebrated for his stone-country style, the Grammy-nominated Sammy Kershaw helped shape and make the ‘90s a shining decade for country music. With three platinum and six gold albums, over 5 million records sold and nearly 100 million songs streamed or purchased, Sammy carries a legacy as one of the decade’s most successful and recognizable voices.
Sammy’s run of hits like “She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful,” “Queen of My Doublewide Trailer,” “Cadillac Style,” “Haunted Heart” and “Love of My Life” not only topped charts but also became staples of country radio throughout the ’90s. His albums Don’t Go Near the Water and Haunted Heart achieved multi-platinum success, cementing his reputation alongside peers like Alan Jackson, Clint Black and Travis Tritt. At a time when country music was experiencing one of its most explosive decades, Kershaw’s blend of heartfelt ballads and honky-tonk anthems gave him a lasting presence in the era’s soundtrack.
Vince Gill - June 18, 2026 - Walt Disney Theater
One of country music’s most enduring and beloved figures, 22-time Grammy Award-winner is famous for his top-notch songwriting, world-class guitar playing and warm, soaring tenor, all wrapped up in a quick and easy wit.
Vince achieved his big breakthrough in 1990 with “When I Call Your Name,” which won both the Country Music Association’s (CMA) Single and Song of the Year awards as well as a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance, Male. In total, Vince has won 18 CMA Awards, 22 Grammy Awards and 8 Academy of Country Music Awards and in 2025 was presented with the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award.
In 1991, Vince was invited to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry and in 2007 was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. In 2012 he was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A gifted songwriter, Vince’s compositions earned him entry into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005 and the prestigious BMI Icon award in 2014. Throughout his career, he has released 21 albums, sold over 30 million albums and charted 45 singles.
In 2022, Vince was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame.
