Country Legend Tanya Tucker To Play Deadwood Mountain Grand
DEADWOOD, S.D. (02/21/22) – One of the most influential country artists in America will be making a tour stop in historic Deadwood when Tanya Tucker plays the Deadwood Mountain Grand Event Center on Friday, May 13th.
Edgy. Classic. Country. A defining voice of music and a modern-day legend, two-time 2020 GRAMMY® winner Tanya Tucker continues to inspire artists today.
Born in Seminole, Texas, Tanya had her first country hit, the classic "Delta Dawn," at the age of 13 in 1972. Since that auspicious beginning, she has become one of the most admired and influential artists in country music history, amassing 23 Top 40 albums and a stellar string of 56 Top 40 singles, ten of which reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard country charts.
Tanya's indelible songs include some of country music's biggest hits such as the aforementioned "Delta Dawn," "Soon," "Two Sparrows in a Hurricane," "It's a Little Too Late," "Trouble," "Texas (When I Die)," "If It Don't Come Easy" and "Strong Enough To Bend." Tanya is also the recipient of numerous awards, including two CMAs, two ACMs and three CMT awards. In 2020, Tanya received two GRAMMY® Awards for Best Country Album: While I'm Livin’ and Best Country Song: "Bring My Flowers Now."
In the fall of 2020, Fantasy Records released Tanya Tucker - Live From The Troubadour on October 16, the one-year anniversary of Tanya’s historic, standing-room only set from which it originates. Tanya was in the midst of resurgent visibility and acclaim generated by her Brandi Carlile and Shooter Jennings produced While I’m Livin’ album released two months earlier – so the brief stand in front of the West Hollywood tastemaker crowd took on a palpable air of significance. As someone who's been center stage for more than 50 years, Tanya is donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the album directly to The Troubadour.
Tickets for Tanya Tucker go on sale for Deadwood Mountain Grand Reward Members at 10 a.m. Tuesday, February 21st and to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, February 25th.

ACM Nominated ‘Duo Of The Year’ - LOCASH Playing Deadwood Mountain Grand
DEADWOOD, S.D. (02/15/22) – One of the hottest duo’s in country music will be bringing their high energy live show to Deadwood on Saturday, April 16th when LOCASH storms the Deadwood Mountain Grand Event Center stage. The current ACM nominated group for ‘Duo of the Year’ will take the stage for an 8pm performance.
Having signed to BMG/BBR Music Group’s, Wheelhouse Records, after a series of small independent deals, LOCASH brethren Preston Brust and Chris Lucas certainly have that story to tell – four No. 1s, a top five, three gold singles and three major award nominations. But that's not the most compelling narrative to be found in the fortuitous pairing of thoughtful songwriters with a natural chemistry as entertainers.
The question that most begs asking is, how have LOCASH managed to run the music industry gauntlet for the better part of a decade only to emerge stronger with a new album on a top label? Maybe it's because they're not just a couple guys who write and sing together. Their connection is, in fact, a lot more like family.
Baltimore native Lucas gave up sports for music and moved to Nashville in the early 2000s. "I was a baseball player and tore up my knee," he says. "I saw that as God's way of saying I was meant to be onstage." He met preacher's kid from Indiana by way of Arkansas Brust, the two hit it off and soon found work as between-band DJs.
"One of us would DJ and the other would go out on the mic as master of ceremonies," Chris says. Preston adds, "One day we were kind of bored, looked at each other and just walked out there at the same time. In that moment we realized we had something when it came to engaging an audience and knowing what they wanted."
"The best way I can describe it is like watching Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin on TV with my grandfather," Chris says. "I'm not comparing us to those guys – they're legendary – but it felt like we had that kind of chemistry in front of a crowd."
While the bands played, Chris and Preston were backstage comparing musical notes and working on harmonies. "I was showing him stuff from secular music and he was teaching me gospel harmony," Chris says.
“After a few months of that, we'd developed a real sound," Preston continues. "Gospel group harmonies are often built around a family blend and we realized we'd created something that really felt like that. In a way, we sounded like brothers. That's what got us thinking about becoming a duo."
They did just that, finding something unique along the way. "Chris has taught me so much about how songs are written and sounds are formulated in the secular world," Brust says. "There's nothing he can't sing, especially up top. I think I knew the potential of his voice long before he did. Because of that, I knew we'd develop a sound that went wherever we wanted with harmony and lead vocals. That's a weapon."
Likewise, Lucas sees his partner as a perfect complement. "I would never want to be doing this on my own," he says. "I need Preston's attitude, his confidence and his musicality. I have no idea how to do under-harmonies and he's got the ear we need to figure that stuff out. He's also a master of melody. We could be writing with best in town, but when we get in that room, I'm looking at Preston first. He knows exactly who we are and what works for us. I trust him completely."
Preston quips, "That just means if a song doesn't hit it's my fault."
"And he always knows the right thing to say, as you see," Chris laughs. “He handles things so much better than I do— I’ve got a little more Baltimore in me, which isn't always a bad thing. We round each other out."
Their spark drew the attention of an independent label and, when that one closed, another and another. "Throwing in the towel is often easier than hanging in when things get tough," Preston says. "'Hey, the record label folded. I guess that's it.' There's always an excuse. But we carry on and that resonates in our music. There's a bigger picture."
Through that stretch, LOCASH were building a fan base and having another kind of success as songwriters. "You Gonna Fly" was a No. 1 for Keith Urban and "Truck Yeah" was a top 10 for Tim McGraw.
"We've had our share of record deals, some better than others," Chris says. "Everything's a step in life, the key is to keep the steps going forward ... going up. Even if you fall back, got to keep stepping up. That's what LOCASH is all about."
The big step up was 2015's The Fighters, which included chart-topping, gold selling singles "I Love This Life" and "I Know Somebody." "Ring on Every Finger" reached the Top 20. Their success earned 2017 duo of the year nominations from the ACM, CMA and CMT. Those accolades, nice as they are, are simply by-products of the duo's easy connection with their fans. In fact, when Chris and Preston reflect on the world and their place in it, the stats never come up at all.
Instead, they focus on those fans and how their new music will be received. The first LOCASH single for Wheelhouse Records, "Feels Like a Party," was co-written and produced by Corey Crowder and Tyler Hubbard. "Sometimes people in the business will wonder if an artist can 'get away' with a song like that," Preston says, "but I recently had someone say to me, 'We need stuff like this. Taking a short vacation in a song has its own kind of impact.' That affected the way I thought about it and we're proud to be the guys who can deliver that kind of positivity for people.”
Chris elaborates: "We write every day and are purposeful in focusing on the positive. Everybody has issues and there are tons of problems in the world. There's a place and time to talk about that, but as kids we both turned to music to pick us up. So over our first two albums and definitely this new one, we want to make you smile. We're not trying to change the world. Or are we?"
Even as LOCASH embrace the upbeat, they find a balance with deeper songs like the title track of their new album "Brothers," also co-written with Crowder and Hubbard. They focus on inclusion and embracing each other, as depicted in their current Top 30 single, “One Big Country Song.” People have taken notice to their uplifting sentiment and relatability, earning them nominations for “Duo of the Year” at both the 2019 ACM Awards and CMT Awards.
That's not just the message in the music; it's the truth about their journey. "We've figured out how to build careers, lives and families we're proud of," Preston says. "We keep climbing – rung by rung. Sometimes the next one seems just out of our reach and that's when we lift each other up. We grind. We persevere. And in that way, we're just like the people we make music for."
Now that's a story worth telling.
Tickets for LOCASH go on sale for Deadwood Mountain Grand Reward Members at 10 a.m. Tuesday, February 15th and to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, February 18th. They will be available at the Deadwood Mountain Grand Box Office or at ticketmaster.com. Ticket buyers should note that TICKETMASTER is the only official ticket broker for Deadwood Mountain Grand.

Prolific Texas Singer/Songwriter Charley Crockett Announces Date At Deadwood Mountain Grand
DEADWOOD, S.D. (02/07/22) – He’s been called ‘rootsy’, ‘bluesy’, and ‘Americana’ but Texas singer/songwriter Charley Crockett prefers to balk at labels and instead view himself all of the above, with a tinge of Texas soul or simply the blues. Crockett will bring his remarkably entertaining talents to the Deadwood Mountain Grand stage on Thursday, April 7th.
It’s easy to conclude Charley Crockett is on one hell of a roll. You wouldn’t be wrong. Ten records in six years is some kind of prolific. The latest, a double LP, suggests the artist has some songs worth paying attention to. It’s clear that he’s invested as much time in the studio, recording storytelling songs, and making storytelling videos, as he has barnstorming around the United States and Europe playing live shows.
Not bad for a thirty-seven-year-old late bloomer.
Charley Crockett has been a fairly remarkable artist to follow. He’s got a sound. He’s got something to say. He has a look. And there’s a gauzy veil of mystery surrounding him suggesting he knows more than he’s letting on.
All those records in such a short amount of time have come with a “No Two Alike” guarantee, particularly the last three releases: the darkly prescient Welcome to Hard Times; the semi-autobiographical, hard-core country-roots of The Valley; and 10 for Slim, his tribute of songs by the obscure and wholly authentic Texas honky-tonk maestro James Hand.
And still, despite his penchant for pearl snaps and western hats, Charley Crockett has managed to elude being pigeon-holed. Call him neo country-western if you’d like. It’s true that few contemporaries present themselves as part of a lineage harkening back to Hank Williams and George Jones like Charley does, and even fewer can pull it off convincingly.
Call him a bluesman, if you prefer. One of Charley’s first recorded songs “Trinity River,” about that “dirty river” in North Texas, is the perfect bookend to “Trinity River Blues,” the first 78 issued by Oak Cliff blues guitar giant T-Bone Walker 92 years ago. Charley knows where genuine music comes from and doesn’t hesitate to mine each vein he digs up.
His voice is one-of-a-kind. His distinctive, plaintive vocals crack unapologetically with emotion, and he phrases his lines around the beat like a jazz singer, while he expounds upon personal relationships and the world beyond.
So, who is Charley Crockett?
Which one are you talking about?
The Lil’ G.L.’s Blue Bonanza Charley, or the Lil’ G.L.’s Honky Tonk Jubilee Charley? Or the Homeric “Jamestown Ferry” Charley? Is that new artist who graced the stage of the Grand Ole Opry the same cat who played the Newport Folk Festival?
Best just to call Charley his own man.
However one may strain to describe such an enigmatic figure and his equally enigmatic music, it’s pretty obvious Charley transcends stereotype. Whatever you might think he is or isn’t, he’ll change your mind with his next song. That’s part of the fun riding shotgun with Charley Crockett. You know he’s a skilled driver familiar with all the roads. You just don’t know exactly which one he’s taking, or where he’s taking you, only that the journey will be a pleasurable one.
Now comes Charley’s tenth album in his six-year career. In the Crockett tradition, it is as ambitious and ground-breaking as each piece of recorded music he’s put out so far. And it’s not just an album. It’s a double LP of Charley Crockett originals, each song going the distance to further define this singer-songwriter-performer-artist who came out of the proverbial nowhere.
Nowhere in Charley Crockett’s case would be San Benito, the largely Hispanic farming community in the Rio Grande Valley of extreme south Texas, his birthplace. He grew up poor in a trailer surrounded by cane fields and citrus groves, raised by a single mom. Fortunately for him, music was in the thick, humid Gulf air, because the Valley has a serious musical streak running through it. There’s a museum in San Benito honoring the father of conjunto accordion, Narciso Martinez. The likeness of Tex-Mex superstar and hometown hero Freddy Fender (nee Baldemar Huerta) graces the municipal water tower. Nearby Los Fresnos was hometown of Simon Vega, who served in the Army with Elvis Presley and built the Little Graceland shrine in tribute to his GI buddy.
That Valley was a perfect petri dish for a little kid with wide eyes and good ears. He could be anyone he wanted to be in this remote part of the world. When his family moved to Dallas, city life was not so kind to the kid who looked and talked different. This was where he learned the hard way how impoverished his family really was. His escape was going to live with his uncle in New Orleans, where as a teenager he developed skills free-styling and rapping, and first began performing in the streets. That led to busking on the streets of New York once he was out on his own.
He hustled hard to survive, living a transient life, taking whatever he needed, whenever he needed it, and hoping he wouldn’t get caught. He sold weed to get by, at one point working the harvest in clandestine marijuana fields in the northwest. Twice, he was convicted of a felony crime. Music provided the way out.
At thirty-two, he got serious. Even then, he chose the more difficult path, releasing his records on independent labels and inventing and reinventing his persona with carefully crafted, well-produced music videos. That top ten hit record may still elude him, but he’s built quite a fan base on his own, all his own, touring as relentlessly as he makes records, investing considerable time and money in companion videos that cumulatively add up to close to 50 million views online.
Charley has endured the collapse of the recording industry, no money, petty crime, societal ennui, the Covid-19 pandemic, open heart surgery, one-night stands, long distance rides in a van, loud truck stops and diners serving stale lukewarm coffee to get to where he is now.
His reward – and yours – is this collection of Charley Crockett originals.
Sad, uplifting, hard, and sweet, complex and delicate all at once, his songs are like life its ownself, just like the songs’ creator: like nothing you’ve heard or seen before, a genuine Texas original.
Tickets for Charley Crockett go on sale for Deadwood Mountain Grand Reward Members at 10 a.m. Tuesday, February 8th and to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, February 11th. They will be available at the Deadwood Mountain Grand Box Office or at ticketmaster.com. Ticket buyers should note that TICKETMASTER is the only official ticket broker for Deadwood Mountain Grand.

Ian Munsick, Stoney Larue Headline Deadwood Mountain Grand’s Annual Red Dirt Music Festival
DEADWOOD, SD. (10/18/21) – The Deadwood Red Dirt Music Festival has become one of the biggest music festivals in the upper mid-west and event organizers are eager to bring back two incredible days of music on the Deadwood Mountain Grand stage. This year’s event, scheduled for January 14 and 15 will feature Pecos & the Rooftops, Wade Bowen and Stoney Larue on Friday night and Tyler Halverson, the Scooter Brown Band and Ian Munsick on Saturday.
The event debuted in 2015 with nearly 5,000 fans attending two days of the best in music from the Red Dirt genre. Red Dirt is the color of soil found in Oklahoma and Texas and are the homes of a music genre that spawned Outlaw Country legends like Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson and created a home-grown movement of Americana, folk and alt-country sounds. Some define Red Dirt music as “country music with attitude”. Others say it’s a state of mind as much as it is a sound – a sound that successfully closes the gap between rock and country.
Regardless of definition, Red Dirt fans are loyal and came in droves in previous years to shows at Deadwood Mountain Grand. “We absolutely love this event,” said Susan Kightlinger, General Manager of the resort. “The music is incredible, the fans come to party and the atmosphere is electric. It really is one of my favorite events of the year.”
Headlining the Friday night performances will be Stoney Larue. Throw away any preconceived notions you might have about country singers — especially ones from Texas — because Stoney LaRue smashes them all. Over a nearly 20-year career, the Lone Star-born and Oklahoma-raised LaRue has transformed himself into an unlikely Renaissance man. He is a deft songwriter, informed traveler and self-aware philosopher, a troubadour who converses just as easily about Indian yogis and gurus as he does about Texas barbecue and dance halls.
Forging connections with his fans is paramount for LaRue, who plays more than 200 live shows a year. His base is a fiercely loyal one, and not just within the Red Dirt region. He regularly tours throughout the entire country and has fans in some unexpected places. Chalk up his mass appeal to the way he sells his songs both onstage and on record — to listen to LaRue sing the nostalgic, Bob Seger-esque “Drowning in Moonlight” on his new album “Onward” is to hear someone with whom you share an experience.
“I thought that song would be something that’s very relatable. You want to think about your first kiss overlooking the city with the top down,” he says. “There’s something so sexy and romantic about that song. It’s dark, but it’s light at the same time.”
For LaRue, who has sold more than one million albums and singles in his career, fun means being on the road and playing live, tapping into a vast catalogue that includes influential LPs like 2005’s The Red Dirt Album and his exhilarating 2007 live document “Live at Billy Bob’s Texas”. Now, he’s excited about taking Onward to fans around the country and reminding them that not only is he still here, he isn’t going anywhere.
“You have to be willing to live it. That’s the only way to make it, and the way that I’ve made it,” says LaRue of his remarkable longevity. “But I’m not haphazard in what I’m writing or singing anymore. I’m more focused and looking ahead to what I want to achieve.”
In other words, Stoney LaRue is looking Onward.
Headlining the Saturday night performances is Ian Munsick. Breathing fresh Rocky Mountain air into the Nashville music scene, Munsick is pioneering a new brand of country. The Wyoming-born singer/songwriter’s upbringing was a mix of working the ranch and working crowds. Under the tutelage of their fiddle-playing father, Munsick and his two older brothers grew up playing everything from bluegrass to The Beatles. Incorporating elements across genres, he has now established himself as a progressive artist with an old soul.
Captivated by traditional lyrical truth and the modern soundscape, Ian followed his ear to Music City. In 2017 he released a self-titled EP, winning iHeartRadio’s Rocky Mountain Song of the Year for the rootsy “Horses Are Faster” and becoming the only artist who simultaneously qualified two tracks as finalists in the NSAI/CMT songwriting competition.
Equipped with a full ready-for-release collection of songs, the 27-year-old has signed his first major label deal with Warner Music Nashville. His debut album Coyote Cry, features his mile-high tenor underscoring self-penned songs that conjure equal parts epic adventure and down-to-earth wisdom. The record marks the dawn of western pop-laced country, pulling a thread straight from Chris LeDoux through Post Malone. Munsick’s recent releases include “Long Haul,” “Me Against the Mountain” and “Humble” – and with them, western country is being reborn.
Tickets go on sale for Deadwood Mountain Grand Reward Members at 10 a.m. Tuesday, October 19th and to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, October 22nd. They will be available at the Deadwood Mountain Grand Box Office – The Spotlight Store – or at ticketmaster.com. Both hotel reservations and ticket arrangements may be made by calling 877-907-GRAND.

Wild West Songwriter’s Festival To Celebrate 10 Years In Deadwood October 7 - 9
DEADWOOD, S.D. (09/09/21) – Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Meghan Trainor, Shania Twain, Lady Antebellum, Rascal Flats, O.A.R., Jason Mraz and many more A-List artists will be represented by their songwriting partners at the 10th annual Wild West Songwriter’s Festival, October 7-9 in historic Deadwood, SD.
Dubbed one of the “best live music festivals for fans” and one of the “top ten songwriter’s festivals you don’t want to miss” the three-day event produced by Deadwood Mountain Grand in partnership with the Deadwood Chamber & Visitors Bureau will feature songwriters that have produced or co-written hits that have been nominated for nearly 100 Grammy Awards
The festival will feature three days of free “writer’s rounds” which will feature songwriters who are excellent performers in their own right, singing the hits they have written and telling the story behind the music. These rounds are fan favorites most notably because they are able to listen to songs that have sold millions across the world in very intimate venues throughout the historic town of Deadwood.
“This is by far one of my favorite events every year,” said Deadwood Mountain Grand General Manager Susan Kightlinger. “The songwriters are amazing performers and the stories they tell about how and why they wrote the songs is an absolute thrill.”
