Hickory - Newton
A limited number of tickets are still available at both locations for Antsy McClain and the Trailer Park Troubadours. The group will perform two Catawba County area shows benefiting the Women's Resource Center in July.

Both concerts will begin at 7:30 p.m. The first is Friday, July 10 at the Newton-Conover Auditorium, at 60 West Sixth St. The second is Saturday, July 11, at The Belk Centrum at Lenoir-Rhyne University.

Antsy McClain may be best known as a humorist, but he has been raising the eyebrows of fans, critics and fellow songwriters with songs like "Falling in Love in America", "The Big Time" and "What Could I Be Doing (That Could Be Any Better Than This?)." His poignant, observational writing style has received the praise of Willie Nelson, Guy Clark, Lindsey Buckingham, David Wilcox and countless others.

McClain performs solo and with a variety of talented musicians known affectionately as The Trailer Park Troubadours. Fans of his music (who call themselves Flamingo Heads, after the popular pink icons of trailer-park culture) often cite McClain's message to enjoy the ride as an antidote to our troubled times, and a much-needed escape from the grueling world we sometimes find ourselves in.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students through high school age.

To reserve tickets (not reserved seats) or for more information, call 238-7045 or 1-800-216-5877.
