The Gene Watson concert planned by Auction Barn Jamboree promoter, Gary Warner has sold out. In a phone interview on July 16, Mr. Warner announced that all 1,000 tickets for the September 2 concert were sold in three weeks.
There is good news for all those who wanted to go but didn't get tickets. Mr. Warner has arranged with Gene to come a day earlier and put on a second concert.The $30 tickets are now available for the September 1 show - in Colborne at Warner's Auction Hall, in Trenton and Belleville at Arden's, in Cobourg at Vezina Auto and in Marmora at Cook's Barber Shop.
The jamboree organizer promises this will be a memorable evening. Gene and the Farewell Party Band are driving up from Texas for this gig only.
Fans will be treated to some of the best old-time country music anywhere in the pre-jamboree concerts at the Keeler Centre. Passes for the rest of the jamboree are not valid at the Watson/Church performances.
Anyone who goes back a bit will remember some of Gene's big hits. Farewell Party was one of the biggest country tunes ever by the man with the 'hard' traditional country sound.
The man with the golden voice also made hits out of Love in the Hot Afternoon, Paper Rosie and One-sided Conversation.
His success, including performances at the Grand Ole Opry, has earned him a place in the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame.
The early bird concerts are part of Gary Warner and Linda Grills' plan to build the jamboree, making each year a little bigger and a little better than the last.
Tickets are available in Colborne at Warner's Auction Hall, in Trenton and Belleville at Arden's, in Cobourg at Vezina Auto and in Marmora at Cook's Barber Shop.
