Copper Spring Ranch To Host Benefit Concert

by

The legendary Red Steagall and Nashville recording artists Joanna Smith and Trent Willmon will perform a special concert Friday, Dec. 3, 2010 at the Copper Spring Ranch in Bozeman, Mont. to benefit the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame & Western Heritage Center and the Montana FFA Foundation. Steagall, Smith and Willmon will perform together in an intimate acoustic setting as a celebration of country music and our Western heritage.

“The opportunity to have Joanna, Red and Trent onstage together at the same time is a rare and incredible opportunity,” said Aaron Lyles of the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame & Western Heritage Center. “For lovers of country music and those who know and believe in the value of preserving and passing forward our Western way of life, December 3rd will be an evening you will not ever forget.”

The Northern Ag Network’s Russell Nemetz interviewed Aaron Lyles on November 16, 2010.

Red Steagall’s many accomplishments include the discovery of country music superstar Reba McEntire, writing over 200 songs, and great success in both the music and television entertainment industries. Whether performing on Hee Haw, serving as television anchor for the National Finals Rodeo or entertaining heads of state, Steagall brings an always humble and unique understanding of the Western way of life.

Nashville recording artist Trent Willmon may best be known for his hit songs “Beer Man,” “Dixie Rose Deluxe,” and “Home Sweet Holiday Inn,” but Trent is also is making his name as a respected Nashville songwriter. Having written recent hits for the likes of Brad Paisley, Montgomery Gentry, Eric Church, Little Big Town, Wade Hayes and Steel Magnolia, Willmon has positioned himself for a long career in the music industry.

Columbia Records’ newest recording artist, Joanna Smith, is making a big splash on country radio with her recent debut release of “Gettin’ Married.” Also a songwriter, Smith’s song “Flying By” was recently recorded by Billy Ray Cyrus on his album Home At Last.
