“Then, you have Ronnie McDowell with over 11 million records sold. Songs like ‘Older Women, ‘Watching Girls Go By’, ‘The King is Gone’, ‘Personally’, ‘Unchained Melody’ has made him one of the most successful music artists ever.”
Jim Carter of Horizons continued, “The Florida Boys will be there as well. Since 1947, the group has been at the top of southern gospel music. Then you have the Buffett influence of Coral Reefer Doyle Grisham who has worked with Jimmy since 1971. Also on Jimmy’s Mailboat Records label is Matt Hoggatt, who received national recognition with his song, ‘Dear Jimmy Buffett.’
“Nashville newcomers Amber Hayes, Lee Gibson, Tara Priest, and Kalisa Ewing are also on the bill to round out one incredible night.”
American Legacy Tour producer Danny Rasberry said he had a reason for putting the acts on the road.
“It’s about positive change. Last year, we gave money to the ‘homeless veterans’ cause. We run the tour around Veteran’s Day to honor their service and to show our grateful appreciation for their sacrifice in making our world safer and free. In addition, we’re thrilled to have Horizons Financial Insurance Group host our event.
