Dwight Yoakam Tickets

Dwight David Yoakam, born in Pikeville, Ky., in 1956, participated in high school plays, and he played his guitar with his friends after school. He dropped out of Ohio State University to become a recording artist in Los Angeles in 1977. His urban cowboy honky tonk music attracted attention when two of his single songs reached No. 1 on the Hot Country Singles Chart. After Johnny Cash called Yoakam one of his favorite country singers, others saw him as a Renaissance man whose bluegrass style bridges the gap between rock love songs and country laments. He tours the country frequently, performing his unique brand of music live for eager audiences.
