Don't miss iconic country music star Sammy Kershaw at Riverside Casino & Golf Resort!
Sammy Kershaw, has amassed three platinum and six gold albums that have scanned and streamed in excess of 5 million records and nearly 100 million combined songs sold. Often referred to as the "heir apparent" to legendary 'voice' George Jones, the GRAMMY nominated performer helped shape and make the '90s a shining decade for country music. His multi-platinum albums were propelled into the record books by hits such as "She Don't Know She's Beautiful," "Queen of My Doublewide Trailer", "I Can't Reach Her Anymore," "National Working Woman's Holiday," "Love Of My Life," "Cadillac Style," "Don't Go Near The Water," "Haunted Heart", "Vidalia" and many other milestones.
From the time that he released his debut single for Mercury Records, "Cadillac Style" made it up the Billboard charts and, from there, the race was on! Follow-ups such as "Don't Go Near the Water" and "I Can't Reach Her Anymore" established him as one of the finest traditional artists of his time, while records like "Yard Sale" showed that haunting Jones influence was very much a part of everything he is about. In 1993, Sammy Kershaw topped the singles chart with "She Don't Know She's Beautiful," which has become one of the most-played records at Country Radio over the past three decades. Albums such as Don't Go Near the Water and Haunted Heart were both certified as million-sellers by the RIAA, and only continued to add to his stature. The hits kept coming on the airwaves, as well. He added to his resume such classics as "I Can't Reach Her Anymore," "Meant to Be," his cover of The Amazing Rhythm Aces' "Third Rate Romance," and 1998's "Love of My Life," which cemented his reputation as a balladeer.
In addition to performing to sell-out audiences, Sammy Kershaw continues to record and release new music with three albums currently in the works, along with putting the finishing touches on his long-awaited autobiography - which promises to be as juicy as a bowl of the gumbo he loves to prepare in his Louisiana home!
The past has been a great, long-winding road of highs and lows for the legendary Sammy Kershaw, but to quote one of his past singles, the goal isn't to rest on those accomplishments, but to be "Better Than I Used to Be."

Don't miss Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band in the Event Center at Riverside Casino & Golf Resort!
Thirty years ago, a Fender Strat-wielding teenager from Shreveport, Louisiana by the name of Kenny Wayne Shepherd brought the blues back to the mainstream. It was 1995, the era of furrow-browed grungesters, when a sandy-haired guitar prodigy unapologetically celebrated a genre often pushed to the margins. With his fiery fretwork, pop-rock hooks, and reverence for the blues, Shepherd's arrival was a much-needed palette-cleanser from the existential dread of the times.
Now, three decades later, Shepherd is as vital as ever. No longer the child prodigy, he has ascended to master. Still touring, recording, collaborating, and evolving, he's returned to where it all began, Ledbetter Heights. Shepherd's latest is a re-recording of his landmark first album, in honor of its 30th anniversary. In early 2026, he and his band will launch a national tour celebrating the milestone's anniversary.
"This is the album that put me on the map, and I still enjoy listening to it because my goal has always been to make music I want to listen to," Shepherd says. "Unfiltered and straight from the heart."
That wanderlust was evident on Ledbetter Heights, and Shepherd revisits the 12-song collection with gusto on this faithful re-recording. The perceivable differences between the albums are a refined musicality evident in the arrangements, and the more nuanced and intentional guitar playing, though the fire still rages - check out the bluesy bluster on the opener, "Born with a Broken Heart." Only one track, "Riverside," deviates significantly. Slowed down and smokier, it brings a quiet fire vibe not found in the 1995 version. In addition, fans will no doubt enjoy hearing longtime Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band co-vocalist Noah Hunt sing these songs. Noah has been with Shepherd for 28 years and has sung on every other album. This completes the sonic circle.
He named the album Ledbetter Heights in honor of an historic neighborhood in his hometown that pays homage to another blues great and Northwest Louisiana native, Huddie Ledbetter. The album catapulted Shepherd into the mainstream, and as a torchbearer of the blues - something he continues to take very seriously to this day. "When I signed my first record deal, my mission was no matter how big or small my career became, I was going to spread the word about the music and musicians that inspire me," Shepherd says.
He's made good on that promise with the release of his award-winning documentary "10 Days Out; Blues From the Backroads, scorching appearances on the Experience Hendrix tour, film placements like Flight Risk, and collaborations that bring the genre into new spaces. Shepherd has become one of the blues' most consistent and credible ambassadors.
Up next, Shepherd and his band will be hitting the road for the Ledbetter Heights 30th Anniversary Tour. The shows will include a performance of the full 12-track album, along with another set featuring highlights from his 30-year career. "Revisiting this album put me back in touch with the wonder and excitement of those days. I didn't know what lay ahead," he reflects. "I'm so grateful for this album - it gave me everything."

Over their first 28 years as the band HANSON, brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson have made a significant mark in music. Starting in 1992, they spent their first five years building a fanbase as an independent band in Tulsa, OK. After signing a record deal, they saw a meteoric rise with the 1997 international smash single "MMMBop" from their debut album Middle Of Nowhere followed by consecutive top 40 singles. A long line of hits, 5 more studio albums, multiple Grammy nominations and over 16 million album sales followed. Over their second decade, the band charted their own course, running an independent label while maintaining a coveted connection with their global fanbase. In 2007, they launched a grassroots campaign to support poverty and HIV/AIDS relief in Africa. In 2013 they launched HANSON Brothers Beer, premiering their new venture with a signature Pale Ale, Mmmhops, and in 2014 they launched the hugely successful Hop Jam Beer and Music Festival in their hometown of Tulsa, which boasts more than 30,000 attendees annually.
