“We are also thrilled that local favorite 'The Glendale Riders' will be opening for Dwight Yoakam,” continued Walker. “Friday’s concert looks to be a great show and will further our goal of becoming an entertainment center for the region.”

Yoakam has won two Grammy Awards and has been a 15-time Grammy nominee. Yoakam just recently released a new album title, “Second Hand Heart,” which became available in stores on April 14. The new release makes Alton even more privileged to have an appearance by the country star.

Cambron said Yoakam’s appearance continues a momentum of Alton attracting top-name artists.

“We started with a promoter last season and this season is a continuation of last year with Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas, Dwight Yoakam and Lynyrd Skynyrd later in the year. By getting these well-known artists, we will be able to promote the venue for even more recognizable artiss in the future and hope to continue the success.”

Cambron said the Liberty Bank Alton Amphitheater receives excellent summer support from Liberty Bank, Coors-Fitz Distributing, Argosy Casinos, 7-UP, The Bank of Edwardsville, Simmons Hanley Conroy, Alton Marina, Clark Properties, Ameren Illinois, Arrow Signs and Outdoor Advertising and CNB Bank & Trust.
