Fair 2015: Daniels, more in entertaining grandstand lineup
Print
The legendary Charlie Daniels and his band, Bruce Brown, Chris Wormer, Pat McDonald, Charlie Hayward and Shannon Wickline, will perform at the Walworth County Fair at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 5.
Daniels is partly Western and partly Southern. His signature “bullrider” hat and belt buckle, his lifestyle on the Twin Pines Ranch, his love of horses, cowboy lore and Louis L'Amour novels identify him as a westerner. But he's a southerner by birth, the son of a lumberjack, and his music — rock, country, bluegrass, blues, gospel — is quintessentially Southern.
When you hear a classic Charlie Daniels Band performance like “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” you hear music that knows no clear genre. Is it a folk tale? A southern boogie? A country fiddle tune? An electric rock anthem? The answer is “yes” to all of that and more. Get ready to boogie.
