Grammy Award-winning and platinum-selling country music superstar Dwight Yoakam is returning to Las Vegas for a performance at Sandbar Stage at Red Rock Resort on Friday, Oct. 11.
Yoakam has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide, and he is a 21-time nominated and multiple Grammy winner. He has 12 gold albums and nine platinum or multiplatinum albums, with five of those albums topping Billboard’s Country Albums chart and another 14 landing in the Top 10.
Nearly 40 of Yoakam’s singles have charted on Billboard, with 14 peaking in the Top 10. Yoakam is a recipient of the Artist of the Year Award from the Americana Music Association and BMI Country Music’s President’s Award, the most prestigious award offered by the organizations.
Yoakam was also inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in the Songwriter/Artist category at the 49th anniversary gala in 2019 in Nashville.
In 2016, Yoakam released his bluegrass album “Swimmin’ Pools, Movie Stars …” on Sugar Hill Records. Featuring a band of bluegrass luminaries, the album boasts a collection of reinterpreted favorites from his catalog, as well as a cover of Prince’s “Purple Rain.”
Produced by nine-time Grammy winner Gary Paczosa (Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton), Jon Randall (songwriter of “Whiskey Lullaby”) and Yoakam himself, and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge, the album reflects the love for bluegrass music that Yoakam developed at an early age in Kentucky and that has inspired him for many years thereafter.
In 2018, Yoakam released two songs, “Pretty Horses” and “Then Came Monday” (the latter written with Chris Stapleton).
Tickets for Yoakam can be purchased at any Station Casinos Reward Center and online by logging onto StationCasinosLive. com and Ticketmaster.com. Guests younger than 21 must be accompanied by an adult ages 21 years or older.
