Like the State of Texas, Charlie Daniels is partly Western and partly Southern. The son of a lumberjack and a Southerner by birth, his music - rock, country, bluegrass, blues, gospel - is quintessentially Southern. In fact, even his bent for all things Western is Southern, because his attire, his lifestyle and his interests are historically emblematic of Southern working class solidarity with the "lone cowboy" individualism of the American West. Crystal Grand Music Theatre, 430 Munroe St. Event starts at 8PM.
