A red dirt country phenom is coming to Salina. Aaron Watson is coming to perform at the Stiefel Theatre.

Watson has collaborated with special guests like Willie Nelson, Dale Watson, Jack Ingram, and Bill Joe Shaver. He has cracked the Top 10 on the Billboard 200, and sold hundreds of thousands of tickets. And he has done all of this all as a totally independent artist with his own label.

Working hard is a serious understatement for Watson, who performs hundreds of shows every year.

The lead single from ‘The Underdog, “That Look,” which Watson wrote for his wife Kimberly, turned heads by debuting in the Top 10 of the Billboard Country Digital Songs Chart and closing out the year as one of the most successful-selling independent singles of 2014.

Aaron Watson will perform in Salina on Thursday, October 13th. Tickets are $18, and go on sale Friday, July 22nd, at 10:00 AM.
