Craig Campbell to play Henderson Events Plaza

Up and coming country star Craig Campbell will grace the stage of the Henderson Events Plaza on April 8th, 2011 with a complimentary admission!  There will be pre-show events such as various art displays, demonstrations and local musicians starting at 5pm and the concert will start at 8pm.

Craig is the true epitome of a man chasing his dreams, as he moved from Lyons, GA to the land of honky-tonk Nashville, TN on a maintenance job lead just to get a step closer to stardom.  He caught his big break after five years of playing a local bar called The Stage with the release of his hit single “Family Man”, currently a top 20 hit on Billboard’s country song charts.

To have an up and coming country star like Craig Campbell playing at our Henderson Events Plaza is very exciting for us and we are even more excited that we are able to offer his talent to our great residents free of charge.  On behalf of the City of Henderson’s Cultural Arts and Tourism department, we hope you take part in this event with us during Art Beat presented by Target.

Sugar Ray plays Henderson Pavilion April 29th

90′s pop/rock sensation Sugar Ray will play the Henderson Pavilion on Friday, April 29th at 8pm.  All tickets are currently priced at $10 each for assigned seating on a first come first serve basis.

Sugar Ray first came onto the scene in the summer of 1997 with their first hit “Fly” on their debut album, Floored.  Despite its success, a lot of people pegged them as a one-hit wonder.  The band then came back with their sophomore release, 14:59, playing on the fact that their “fifteen minutes of fame” weren’t quite up yet, and released successful tracks such as “Every Morning” and “Someday”.  They are led by front man Mark McGrath, whom you all might know from his days co-hosting Extra and is currently competing on The Celebrity Apprentice 4.

We at the Henderson Pavilion are extremely excited to have a band of Sugar Ray’s caliber come in and rock our 2,444+ capacity theater, and their fans are just as excited as well.  We were receiving calls in  regards to tickets way before they were available for sale!  A band at this level of popularity and talent is certain to sell our venue out, especially at an unbeatable $10 price tag!

Please visit HendersonLive.com, phone us direct at 702-267-4TIX or come and visit us in person at 200 S. Green Valley Parkway to purchase.  We are open Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 5:30pm.
