Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson @ Paramount Theatre
The word “legend” usually makes an appearance at some point when discussing Merle Haggard. It’s an acknowledgement of his artistry and his standing as “the poet of the common man.” It’s a tribute to his incredible commercial success and to the lasting mark he has made, not just on country music, but on American music as a whole. It’s apt in every way but one.
Tickets: $65.00, $55.00 and $45.00, not including applicable fees. Tickets are on sale Saturday, February 7 at 10am at Tickets.com, Paramount or Moore Theatre box office.
