CHARLIE DANIELS WAS A HUGE HIT IN 2007 WITH THE SATURDAY NIGHT CROWD!
Part Western and part Southern, Charlie loves horses, cowboy lore and the heroes of championship rodeo, Western movies, and Louis L'Amour novels. The son of a lumberjack and a Southerner by birth, his music - rock, country, bluegrass, blues, gospel - is quintessentially Southern. When you hear a classic Charlie Daniels Band performance like "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," you hear music that knows no clear genre. His career spans more than 35 years of record making and represents more than 18 million in sales. |

MORRIS DAY and THE TIME WAS THE IMAGE OF COOL IN 2007 FOR THE SUNDAY NIGHT CROWD!
Flamboyant singer Morris Day played drums in Prince's junior high school band, Grand Central. After several years on the local R&B circuit, he hooked up with Prince and the highly popular Minneapolis funk band Flyte Time who were later renamed The Time. Day and The Time were featured in Prince's film "PURPLE RAIN" and were well known for songs such as "Jungle Love" and "The Bird". Morris Day and The Time feature a wide variety of music genres including rock, pop, R&B, soul, funk, funk-rock, funk-metal, New Wave, dance and hip-hop. |

| The Bar-Kays are a popular soul, R&B, and funk group which began performing in 1966 and continue to perform today. They began in Memphis, Tennessee as a favorite soul studio sessions group backing major artists at Stax Records. They were chosen in 1967 by Otis Redding to play as his backup band. On December 10, 1967, Redding, his manager, and band members Jimmy King, Ronnie Caldwell, Phalon Jones, and Carl Cunningham died in a plane crash in Lake Monona while on their way to a performance in Madison, Wisconsin. Trumpeter Ben Cauley survived the crash and bassist James Alexander rebuilt the group. The group backed dozens of major Stax artists on recordings afterwards, including on Isaac Hayes' Hot Buttered Soul album, and changed direction in the 1970s to have a successful funk music career. They have performed all over the world.
T. Graham Brown rose to country stardom through the uniquely Southern phenomenon of beach music, a party-ready mix of old-time rock & roll, R&B, country, and blues. His debut album, I Tell It Like It Used To Be, was followed his '86 #1 Chart single, "Hell or High Water" and "I wish I could hurt that way again", top 10 in '87. In 1998, Brown returned to the charts with "Wine into Water", a rockin' sound, and has been playing to the crowds ever since. T. Graham Brown is a southern favorite! Rockin' Dopsie (Doop-see), Jr. & The Zydeco Twisters! Back by popular demand! Dopsie presents Zydeco with the conviction and authenticity of its rich heritage. His earliest musical memories are of his father's accordion playing. Dopsie, Jr. was given a basic accordion by his dad at the age of nine. He taught himself to play by listening to and playing along with the radio. Dopsie and Zydeco Twisters, a crowd favorite that'll get you dancin'. Jamie Bergeron and this talented group has become one of the most in demand acts playing along the Gulf Coast. On any given weekend you’ll find the kickin’ cajuns performing at most festivals, corporate events & clubs. A veteran EMT with Acadian Ambulance, Jamie Bergeron is a life-saver, singer, songwriter, accordion player and just a real charming guy. There’s no way to really explain why or how, you’ve just got to experience it for yourself, to understand what everybody’s talking about down in South Louisiana...And before long you too will be saying “I Know Dat’s Right !!!”
Chennault Park is located just north of I-20, Exit 120, on Milhaven Road, east of Pecanland Mall.
