The Legends of Country
w/The Oak Ridge Boys, Tanya Tucker,
Larry Gatlin & The Gatlin Bothers!
WHAT:
It’s a
night of classics as The Family Arena presents The Legends of Country.
Don’t miss an unforgettable experience as The Oak Ridge Boys, Tanya
Tucker, and Larry Gatlin & The
Gatlin Brothers take the stage to perform their iconic hits.
Theirs is one of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry. The four-part harmonies and upbeat songs of
The Oak Ridge Boys have spawned dozens of Country hits and a
Number One Pop smash, earned them Grammy, Dove, CMA, and ACM awards and
garnered a host of other industry and fan accolades. Every time they
step before an audience, the Oaks bring four decades
of charted singles, and 50 years of tradition, to a stage show widely
acknowledged as among the most exciting anywhere. And each remains as
enthusiastic about the process as they have ever been.
Their string of hits includes the Country-Pop chart-topper Elvira, as well as
Bobbie Sue, Dream On, Thank God For Kids, American Made,
I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes, Fancy Free, Gonna Take A Lot Of River and many others.
The group has
scored 12 gold, three platinum, and one double platinum album—plus one
double platinum single—and had more than a dozen national Number One
singles and over 30 Top Ten
hits.
In 1974, Rolling Stone ran a cover story on
Tanya Tucker with the headline that said “You’re Gonna Hear From
Me.” Truer words have never been spoken. For four decades, her sultry
voice and vivacious stage presence has helped to make her one of the
most admired and respected female vocalists in
the Country Music genre. Tanya’s reign includes 23 Top 40 albums and a
string of 56 Top 40 singles, 10 of which reached the No. 1 spot on the
Billboard charts. Along the way, she has provided some of the biggest
country music hits of each decade, including,
Delta Dawn, Blood Red and Goin’ Down, Would you Lay with Me (In a Field of Stone), and
Texas (When I Die” just to name a few. Tucker is also the recipient of numerous awards, including two CMAs, two ACMs, and three CMT awards.
Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers
have been dazzling audiences for more than 60 years. By 1976, the
Gatlin Brothers were in
the fast lane, thanks to the chart-topping success of the Grammy
Award-winning “Broken Lady.” The hits continued throughout the rest of
the decade, including their signature song,
All the Gold in California, soon to be followed by Houston (Means I’m One Day Closer to You). The number one hits continued throughout the next decade with
I Don’t Wanna Cry, I Just Wish You Were Someone I Love, Statues Without Hearts,
Love is Just a Game, and Night Time Magic. In addition to
being inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 1976, the trio was nominated
for awards by the Country Music Association, the Academy of Country
Music and the Music City News Awards, among others.
“We won some of ‘em too,” says Larry.

THE OAK RIDGE BOYS NEW ALBUM 17th AVENUE REVIVAL AVAILABLE NOW!!
|
|
17th Avenue Revival brings The Oak Ridge Boys back to their gospel roots, but with an edge. Under the direction of famed-producer Dave Cobb, the Grand Ole Opry and Country Music Hall of Fame members touched on uncharted territory—and for a long-tenured act like The Oak Ridge Boys, that’s saying something. Somewhat retro, yet new and fresh at the same time, there was no vocal stacking and very few overdubs. For two of the songs, the Boys gathered around one microphone and let the harmonies shine, just as Dave Cobb had planned initially.
Since the start of their highly decorated career, the Oaks have achieved five GRAMMY® Awards, and multiple CMA, ACM and Dove Awards for their crossover brand of pop, country and gospel music that spans multiple generations.
About The Oak Ridge Boys:
The Oak Ridge Boys, who have sold over 41 million units worldwide, are synonymous with “America, apple pie, baseball, pop, rock, gospel and country music.” In addition to their awards and accolades in the country and pop music fields, they have garnered five GRAMMY® Awards and nine GMA DOVE Awards as well as the Mainstream Artist of the Year Award at the ICM Awards. The group—Joe Bonsall, Duane Allen, William Lee Golden, and Richard Sterban—have earned prestigious membership in the Country Music Hall of Fame (2015 Inductees) and Grand Ole Opry, and are known worldwide as one of recording history’s most extraordinary musical successes. They have charted single after single and album after album, celebrating two double-platinum albums and more than 30 Top 10 hits, including No. 1 chart-toppers “Elvira,” “Bobbie Sue,” “Thank God For Kids,” “American Made,” “Y'All Come Back Saloon,” among dozens more.

THE OAK RIDGE BOYS TO PERFORM ON ‘HUCKABEE’ THIS WEEKEND ON TBN IN ADVANCE OF THE RELEASE OF THEIR NEW ALBUM, 17th AVENUE REVIVAL
|
|
The group has given many command performances throughout their legendary career, from performing for King Gustaf of Sweden, to Her Royal Highness Princess Caroline of Monaco, to Her Royal Highness Princess Anne of Great Britain and five U.S. presidents: Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. In 1976, they performed in Russia during the “Iron Curtain” days on a three week tour with Roy Clark – a first for ANY country music artist.
Since the start of their highly decorated career, the Oaks have achieved five GRAMMY® Awards, and multiple CMA, ACM and Dove Awards for their crossover brand of pop, country and gospel music that spans multiple generations.
In preparation for the release of their highly anticipated new album 17th Avenue Revival (March 16, Lightning Rod Records), The Oak Ridge Boys are gearing up for media rounds in Nashville and New York City where the quartet will make appearances on The Big Interview with Dan Rather, Larry’s Country Diner, The Grand Ole Opry, a sit-down one hour special on RFD, The 700 Club, SiriusXM, Jesus Calling, Southern Living, Fox News Radio, METRO Focus, Westwood One, Celeb Secrets, Heartland, Nashville Insider, Country Rebel and more.
In front of an at-capacity, standing-room-only crowd at the Country Music Hall of Fame™ and Museum CMA Theater on Monday (3/5) night, The Oak Ridge Boys electrified with hit after hit, and then introduced their the new album. In addition, and in typical Oak Ridge Boys fashion, the group set a unique precedent by presenting the Country Music Hall of Fame with a special Edison cylinder recording of "Brand New Star," the first track from their new album.
“It’s exciting to me that our manager, Jim Halsey, and Logan Rogers, President of Lightning Rod Records, were able to envision the idea of releasing the new album, all or in part, on virtually every format of commercial recording technology since the Edison cylinder — and to find people to record ‘Brand New Star’ on cylinder,” said Duane Allen.
“We thought it was a fantastic idea to include vinyl, cassette, CD and cylinder — the only format we left out was eight-track and, who knows, that might be next.” Allen said. “It’s proof that our team can cover all the bases, while coming up with a fun and provocative promotion for the new product.”

The Oak Ridge Boys Announce
the Christmas Celebration Tour 2016
the Christmas Celebration Tour 2016
Grammy Award-winning Country Music Hall of Famers celebrate Christmas with timeless hits and holiday favorites
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (July 25, 2016)
– Every year, a man with a white beard goes city to city giving the
gift of Christmas joy, and his name is… William Lee Golden (were you
expecting someone else?). For 27 years now, Country Music Hall of Fame
members The Oak Ridge Boys have been a part of their fans' holiday
seasons with their annual Christmas tour. This year, the award-winning
group will play to packed houses across America during the 2016 Christmas Celebration tour,
which will take the group to two-dozen cities in 16 states, from the
East to West Coast, November 1 through December 22 (see schedule below).
A mixture of traditional and contemporary songs—including religious, romantic and fun holiday tunes—makes up the set list, which includes songs from the Oaks’ six bestselling Christmas CDs. A highlight of the evening is the much-loved ‘rocking chair’ segment where each BOY rocks by the fireplace and shares personal thoughts about Christmas.
Oaks’ lead singer, Duane Allen, says, “Christmas is my favorite time of year. I love the positive things about the season.... the joy, happiness, giving, sharing, time with family, and gifts. The beautiful lights and decorations. Christmas music. Special food. And most of all the true meaning, which, of course, is celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
“Every year I look forward to taking our Christmas tour all over the USA. I hope everyone will come out this year and celebrate Christmas with The Oak Ridge Boys.”
Known for their iconic and multi-platinum selling hit “Elvira,” along with other chart-toppers like “Bobbie Sue,” “Thank God For Kids,” and “Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight,” The Oak Ridge Boys have achieved a decorated career, winning five GRAMMY® Awards, and multiple CMA, ACM and Dove Awards for their cross-over brand of pop, country and gospel music that spans multiple generations. Made up of members Duane Allen, Joe Bonsall, William Lee Golden and Richard Sterban, whose unmistakable bass on the lyric “oom poppa, mow mow,” has become one of music’s most recognized sing-alongs on an international scale, The Oak Ridge Boys are members of the Grand Ole Opry and achieved arguably country music’s highest honor in October 2015 when they were inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame.

The Oak Ridge Boys Receive Prestigious U.S. Military Award from Congressional Medal of Honor Society
Medal of Honor Recipient and Congressional Medal of Honor Society President Harold A. Fritz (second from left) presents The Oak Ridge Boys with the society's Bob Hope Award for Excellence in Entertainment.
Medal of Honor Recipient and Congressional Medal of Honor Society President Harold A. Fritz (second from left) presents The Oak Ridge Boys with the society's Bob Hope Award for Excellence in Entertainment.
| NASHVILLE,
Tenn. – After five GRAMMY Awards, nine GMA Dove
Awards, an induction into The Grand Ole Opry and a forthcoming induction
into the Country Music Hall of Fame, The Oak Ridge Boys have been
presented with yet another distinction -- the Bob Hope Award for Excellence in Entertainment
by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society – recognizing their work
with The American Legion. The group accepted the award on August 8 at
the Nashville Salutes Gala surrounded by 25 Medal of Honor recipients. In September 2014, The Oak Ridge Boys joined forces with The American Legion to help raise awareness and support for better detection and treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder among U.S. military servicemen and women, and veterans. Through the partnership, The Oak Ridge Boys have also assisted with improving the VA benefits process, as well as the education and career opportunities that are available to veterans once they return to civilian life. The Nashville Salutes Gala honored 25 living recipients of the Medal of Honor and served as a catalyst for the Middle Tennessee Character Development Program (CDP), whose goal is to develop the values required of every citizen among the youth of America.

THE OAK RIDGE BOYS TEAM WITH COMPASSION INTERNATIONAL
FOR 2013 CHRISTMAS TIME'S A COMIN' TOUR
Legendary award-winning, hit-making group
celebrate 24th Anniversary of Christmas Tour
NASHVILLE, – Grammy Award-winning music legends The Oak Ridge Boys are set to celebrate the 24th Anniversary of their annual Christmas Tour in 2013 with a festive show featuring live performances of holiday classics and their biggest hits. Additionally, while Richard Sterban, Duane Allen, William Lee Golden, and Joe Bonsall are celebrating their 40th Anniversary of The Oak Ridge Boys, they have teamed with Compassion International as the official sponsor of the “Christmas Time’s a Comin’” Tour.
“Over the course of our career we have worked with many children's relief organizations, but never have we seen a more positive response from our fans than we are seeing with Compassion International,” says Oak Ridge Boy Joe Bonsall. “I believe that folks are moved by Compassion International’s Christ-centered approach to feeding and educating needy kids around the world—and their amazing success rate, which is impressive! When folks sign up to help a hungry child there is a huge chance that THAT child will rise out of poverty and make a difference in the world. This is why we are excited and blessed to be working with this stellar organization.”
The Oak Ridge Boys came together in 1973, beginning as gospel singers, became a top act in country music and then crossed over to pop with the monster hit “Elvira” in 1981. The song became their fourth No. 1 country hit, reached No. 5 on the pop charts, won the group a Grammy® award and went on to become one of only a handful of singles released out of Nashville ever to go double platinum. The Oak Ridge Boys recently became members of the Grand Ole Opry®.
“Compassion International will be traveling with us on our Christmas Time’s a Comin’ Tour so folks can meet them first hand and join with us as we try to do some positive things for children. The song “Thank God For Kids” has inspired us for decades to give back and to be a special blessing to needy children. Our partnership with Compassion International enables us to fulfill those visions, and together we can make a huge difference through Christmas and beyond!” adds Bonsall.
The Oak Ridge Boys are known for creating a show atmosphere of holiday cheer with their Christmas tour, which consistently receives rave reviews and has become a holiday tradition in its own right since its start 24 years ago. The masterful blends of new and traditional yuletide tunes are enhanced by the powerhouse group’s renowned four-part harmonies.
The Oak Ridge Boys will be filling the holiday season with the celebrated sounds of their Christmas Time’s A Coming CD (Gaither Gospel Series). The album was released to retail outlets in 2012, with an exclusive version of the CD available at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store®, featuring two heartwarming bonus tracks that capture the meaning of the season.
