For over half a century Merle Haggard has been a champion of the misunderstood, the outcasts, and yes, even the outlaws. Forging a new path because the one Nashville had charted was too polished and removed from real life for his liking, Haggard and his Bakersfield brethren (including Buck Owens) were the forefathers of the alt country movement that took root in the '90s. In fact, fans inclined to buy tickets to Wilco or Ryan Adams would find themselves right at home alongside fans of more traditional country at a Merle Haggard concert, connecting with the man who once described himself as an "Okie from Muskogee" - an uncompromising truth teller who never turned his mind or heart away from the working class. While the last of the Country Music Hall of Famer's staggering 37 No. 1 hits may have been in 1986, his recent albums prove that while time marches on his talent and vision remain steadfast. As he's shown on tour as well as in 2010's aptly titled album I Am What I Am, Haggard is as sharp a social critic as ever. Meanwhile his 2012 album Working In Tennessee proved that despite the title, his heart is still firmly in Bakersfield - and fans are all the better for it.

Where do I start!?!?! Willie is and always be my absolute favorite artist of all time and having the opportunity to see him perform with every artist there was amazing. Jamie Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Loretta Lynn, Keith Richards, and so many more. Just amazing ☺ Merle is and always will be one of the greats!
Outstanding show and a star studded line up of entertainers! So glad we could make it from Michigan!!
Omg this was the best ever concert! Man we saw so many artist and were surprised to see some we didn't know was going to be there!
Merle would be so proud of the huge turnout of fans and entertainers!!
Awesome, saw 32 acts of great Merle music in one event. Doesn't get much better than that.
Was so impressed with this event and Jamey Johnson now has a new fan. Phenominal voice and a great respectful man
So many artist! They just kept coming out, performing hit after hit from The Hag. The talent ranged from older classic country stars like Connie Smith, to newer like The Avett Brothers. In between was a selection of artist that ran the gamut of music charts over the past 60 years. Keith Richards, y'all.
Words cannot come close to explain how unbelievable an experience this was. There is no way this could ever be topped. It's like my life is complete, there's nothing that could come close.
Drove eight hours to see this event and it was soooo worth the trip!!! Every artist added their own unique boost and there was never a disappointment. I will never forget nor stop sharing!!
