Black wraps up concert series

Southern Ground Amphitheater in Fayetteville finishes out its current concert series Aug. 6 with country superstar Clint Black.

Without a doubt, Black has earned his place as one of the most successful artists in the history of American music, so expect to hear hit after hit on this evening under the stars.  Opening for Clint is Nashville-based artist Hailey Whitters.

The 1989 debut of Clint’s critically acclaimed fan favorite, the triple-platinum “Killin’ Time,” boasted five #1 hits and marked a shift in the industry, with a return to the more traditional sounds of the genre. CMT lists this album as one of the 100 Greatest Albums in Country Music.

For Black, “Killin’ Time” was only the beginning. “Put Yourself in My Shoes” followed in 1990 and quickly went triple platinum. Since then, Black has had nearly two dozen #1 hit singles, and almost as many Top 5 and Top 10 hits – all of them his original compositions, which is itself a notable rarity in popular music.

A few tickets still remain and range from $44 – $57. Tickets are available at SouthernGroundAmp.com and at the Historic Courthouse in downtown Fayetteville.  

The Southern Ground Amphitheater is owned by the Downtown Development Authority and managed by the Main Street Tourism Association of Fayetteville.
