Best Country from October 15 - December 15

in Clearwater

Dwight Yoakam at The BayCare Sound At Coachman Park

Dwight Yoakam

The young whippersnappers of modern Country owe a lot to Dwight Yoakam. Once shunned by the Nashville elite, the pioneering singer-songwriter is credited with paving the way for Country music's acceptance in the mainstream. His 'hillbilly honkey tonk' stylings earned him a following of fans that called themselves 'Cow-Punks' in retaliation to the polite Country Pop of the late 70's.

Eli Young Band at The Stockyard

Eli Young Band

The best of rock and the best of country meets in the Eli Young Band, a Texas outfit that's had the Nashville scene in a stir since their debut in 2002. Steering clear of the bro-country stereotype, the quartet evokes heartache, lonely highways and having one too many in the old-school country tradition, keeping things fresh with that driving rock sound.
