An Evening with TRAVIS TRITT
Osky News
Ottumwa, IA: CMA and Grammy award-winning country artist Travis Tritt will perform his acoustical concert at the Bridge View Center on Sunday, October 16 at 7:30 pm.
Tritt’s 1990 debut Country Club and its succession of hits put him in the vanguard of the genre’s early
’90s boom, dubbing him as one of “The Class of ‘89,” which included Country music superstars Garth
Brooks, Clint Black and Alan Jackson; all whom dominated the charts in the early ‘90s. “Country Club,” “Help Me Hold On,” “I’m Gonna Be Somebody” and “Drift Off to Dream” peaked at numbers two and three on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts; all which led for Tritt to win Top New Male Artist award from Billboard and the CMA Horizon Award (now known as the New Artist Award). Additionally, in 1991, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) marked Travis’ debut album Country Club as certified platinum.
Most recently, Tritt topped the SoundScan Top 200 Catalog Country Albums chart for over 60 consecutive weeks with 15 weeks spent at #1 and 35+ weeks notched in a Top 5 position. Tritt’s compilation album, Very Best of Travis Tritt, which was released in 2007, saw a resurgence of sales that started in Nov. 2014.
Tritt is now gearing up for the release of his first live DVD project, titled Travis Tritt & Friends. Recorded at the historic Franklin Theatre in Franklin, Tenn, the DVD will feature Tritt performing some of his biggest hits in a live, intimate acoustic setting. The project will be released later this year.
Experience this rare opportunity featuring the multi-platinum artist in an intimate solo-acoustic setting where his powerful voice and his guitar are the subject of the spotlight. An up-close and personal event punctuated by personal stories and anecdotes about his life and musical influences. Performing some of his biggest hits, the Grand Ole Opry member will bring his award-winning songs to life and leave the audience with a truly memorable experience.
