They arenβt calling it the Tucson Rodeo Concert, but Desert Diamond Casino is obviously thinking along those lines with its weekend of country concerts in February.
Country legend Charley Pride and rising star Easton Corbin are playing back-to-back concerts at Desert Diamond, 1100 W. Pima Mine Road, on Feb. 22-23 β the final weekend of the 2019 La Fiesta de los Vaqueros Tucson Rodeo, which runs Feb. 16-24 at the south-side Tucson Rodeo Grounds.
Pride, making his first Tucson appearance in years, kicks things off Feb. 22. The 84-year-old Grammy winning singer, who has landed more than 50 singles on Billboardβs Top 10 country charts and sold tens of millions of records along his 50-plus-year musical journey, paved the way for other African-American country singers including Neal McCoy (βThe Shakeβ) and Kane Brown (βHeavenβ).
Corbin, who has made Tucson a regular stop over his 13-year career, returns Feb. 23.
The neo-traditional country singer, whose hits include βA Little More Country Than That,β βRoll with Itβ and his latest single, βA Girl Like You,β is known for his whiskey-smooth baritone and uncanny vocal resemblance to George Strait.
Tickets for Pride are $45 to $75; it’s $25 to $35 for Easton. Get them online at startickets.com Details: ddcaz.com
