PREVIEW: Country Legends Concert Series returns to Glens Falls
03/16 & 3/17 @ Wood Theatre
Upstate New York native Kevin Richards is an award-winning country music DJ, a country music promoter and, most importantly, an avid country music fan.
In 2023, Richards started the “Kevin Richards’ Country Concerts... Close Up” series with the goal of bringing legendary country music to New York’s North Country. These unique concerts offer country music fans the opportunity to see their favorite legendary country artists up close and personal in an intimate setting. In addition to listening to great music, fans even have the opportunity to interview the musicians live and on stage during an audience participation Q&A session!
Past performers of this popular series include Randy Travis, Crystal Gayle, Pam Tillis, and Kathy Mattea. Coming up in mid-march, Richards will welcome two more country legends to the series. On Sunday, March 16 at 3pm, country star Janie Fricke will perform at Wood Theater in Glens Falls, NY. On Monday, March 17 at 7pm, ‘90’s superstar Ty Herndon will take the stage, also at Wood Theater.
Janie Fricke is not only an award-winning country singer, but also a songwriter, record producer and clothing designer. Fricke has accumulated 17 Top 10 singles on the US Billboard Hot Country songs chart, eight of which reached the top spot of number one. She has also been nominated for four Grammy Awards and is the winner of both the 1982 and 1983 Female Vocalist of the Year by the Country Music Association.
Ty Herndon is a country music singer-songwriter and a founding member of the country band Diamond Rio. Herndon left Diamond Rio after only one year to pursue a solo career. Between 1995 and 2002, Herndon hit the US Billboard Hot Country charts with 17 singles including three number ones. On the philanthropic side, Herndon is the founder of the Foundation for Love & Acceptance, an organization dedicated to help those suffering from mental health issues, addiction, and trauma recovery. Herndon has stated his goal is to build a more inclusive country music community.
Don’t miss this special opportunity to see one or both of these country music legends up close and personal. Audience interaction and the intimate setting of Wood Theater will definitely make for unforgettable shows.
