Joe Nichols And John Anderson Headline Saturday’s Entertainment

Joe Nichols and John Anderson will highlight this year’s Richland County Fair and Rodeo set for Wednesday-Saturday, Aug. 1-4.

John Anderson will open the concert Aug. 4 at 7:30 p.m. It’s been over a quarter century since John Anderson changed country music the first time. That was back in the ’80s when that jaw-dropping country voice combined with huge hits like “Wild And Blue” and “Swingin’” to pave the way for the decade’s neo-traditional movement. In the early ’90s, he did it again with ‘Seminole Wind”, a bona fide classic that reignited his career and helped fan the flames of the coming country explosion with hits like “Straight Tequila Night” and the album’s unforgettable title track. Well, it’s 2012 and Anderson’s back to reestablish himself as a country music icon and as a contemporary musical force to be reckoned with.

Nichols has released six albums since he first broke onto the music scene in 1996 with his debut album “Man with a Memory.” His number one singles include “Brokenheartsville” in 2003, “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off” in 2005 and “Gimmie That Girl” in 2010.
