Dwight Yoakam is celebrating over three decades in the music industry has sold over 25 million albums and remains a powerful voice in American music today. His chart-topping classics, including “Guitars, Cadillacs” and “Fast as You,” remain staples of the genre.

Yoakam's tour stop at the Canton Memorial Civic Center is scheduled for September 25, 2025, following a performance at Black Oak Amphitheatre in Lampe, Missouri, on September 6. He will be joined by Ashley McBryde and the Eli Young Band, so it should be a great night of country music.

The Arkansas-born singer-songwriter has released four studio albums to critical acclaim. The Eli Young Band, a Texas-based group formed in 2000, boasts four No. 1 Billboard Country hits, including their 2011 smash “Crazy Girl.”
