Dwight Yoakam
...a singer whose ironclad alloy of rockabilly, Bakersfield worship and British Invasion pop has long made him both a postmodern preservationist and a progressive misfit in country music.

Why see Dwight Yoakam?
Country Icon Dwight Yoakam hits the road
The young whippersnappers of modern Country owe a lot to Dwight Yoakam. Once shunned by the Nashville elite, the pioneering singer-songwriter is credited with paving the way for Country music's acceptance in the mainstream. His 'hillbilly honkey tonk stylings' earned him a following of fans that called themselves 'Cow-Punks' in retaliation to the polite Country Pop of the late '70s.
It wasn't long before Hollywood came calling and along with international recognition came 5 Billboard number 1 albums, 12 Gold and 9 Platinum records as well as 2 Grammy Awards. With his cowboy hat tilted at a rakish angle, the 60+-year-old has still got the spark that has electrified his stellar four-decade career. The veteran's vocals are as smooth, earthy and soulful as ever, with a dose of that Country twang thrown in for good measure!

This is probably the best concert I've seen in 20 years. The mavericks did not disappoint. Everyone in the band had sincere smiles and that happy to be on the road again. Great theatricks and the squeezebox player almost stole the show. The band was tight as hell. One of Raul's guitar didn't work, he started the song with a "if this is worst thing that happens tonight it's a good night l-and it was. DW started with a blast of songs one after Another with frantic lead guitar, guitar swaps. DW joked that if the Spanish missed a beat he docks him. He also told the story of I sang Dixie which was really Cool and I never heard the stories so that was great. He apologized for some reason for playing some new stuff basically saying I know why y'all came but his new stuff was great too. Must see ... Read more

My brothers & I traveled a couple hours each to see this show. We were not disappointed. Great venue, sound was good. The band was GREAT! Dwight was Dwight @ his best. & Why Not? The show was in BAKERSFIELD!! Pretty much one hit after another, a couple stories & the only problem is, he’s got so many great songs, he can’t play them all in 2+ hours!ðŸ‘ðŸ‘👠... Read more

Dwight at Iroquois Amphitheater
I have always been a fan, but this was my first time of
seeing Dwight live. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED him! I was
amazed at how incredibly wonderful he still sounds
and how entertaining he was as he played, song to
song, non-stop. His voice is truly a gift! I will see him
again anytime he's in the area! ... Read more
