has a fire in his belly to make good country music. He is sure to keep the
crowd on their feet with opening act, The Entice Band – a group that will make
you want to dance.
Saturday night, The Marshall Tucker Band
will hit the stage bringing its southern sound and decades of hit music. Still
led today by founding member and lead singer Doug Gray, they represent a time
and place in music that will never be duplicated. With hit singles like "Heard It In a Love Song,"
