Rockin’ Roadhouse Tour
Comes to Chinook Winds
They’ve been hit makers for a dozen years. Between them, they have topped
the country singles charts an astounding 42 times and have sold more than 22
million records. Each has an abiding passion for authentic country music. And all
three know how to rock a houseful of country fans.
Mark Chesnutt, Joe Diffie, and Tracy Lawrence are bringing all that and
more to this year’s must-see concert experience - the Rockin’ Roadhouse Tour
that comes to Chinook Winds Casino on Nov. 1 and 2.
As veteran hit makers, each has been responsible for some of the era’s most
memorable songs, and each is able to fill a solo show with chart-toppers. With all
three on stage in one evening - including times when all three are on together -
fans will get a rare opportunity to experience an entire evening of non-stop hits.
And it will be, literally, non-stop. Each of the three has selected key band
members, putting together one superband to back them all up. Once the show
gets under way, there are no set changes and no downtime.
Tickets range from $30 to $50, depending on seat location. Show time is
8 p.m. each evening.
