Jefferson Public Radio and the Cascade Theatre present Merle Haggard in concert at Redding's historic Cascade Theatre on Tuesday, August 15, 2006 at 8pm.
Country music legend and Shasta County resident, Merle Haggard helps the Cascade Theatre celebrate the second anniversary of the theatre’s restoration and reopening on August 15, 2006 at 8pm. For over four decades, Merle Haggard’s rich vocal textures and charismatic individuality has brought a dimension of lyrical depth and musical sophistication to country music. His deep, grumbling, voice and dazzling guitar work gives his country music a blues-like quality. His deep love for the roots and development of numerous music forms has made him one of the most influential performing artists of our time. The number of music awards Merle Haggard has won is astounding -- in addition to his 40 number-one hit singles and scores of top ten songs, he has been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame and is the recipient of several Grammy Awards including a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006. Merle Haggard's music has remained some of the most inventive in country music and his status is affirmed each time a new generation of country singers pays tribute to his work.
