7:00 pm: Pure Prairie League

Starts at $69.

From their beginnings in mid-sixties Ohio as a group of friends playing cover tunes to the present-day lineup featuring the propulsive rhythm team of drummer Scott Thompson and bassist Jared Camic, keyboard master Randy Harper, guitar ace/vocalist Jeff Zona, and pedal steel/saxophonist John Heinrich, Pure Prairie League continues to build upon the rich, 50-plus-year history of one of country rock's pioneering forces.

Their eponymous first album-featuring the Norman Rockwell/Saturday Evening Post cover that introduced fans to PPL's trademark cowpoke "Sad Luke"-has been hailed as a major early influence in the rising popularity of country rock music. Their second effort, the multi-platinum Bustin' Out, brought us the Craig Fuller-penned classic "Amie," along with other gems of the genre.

With "Two Lane Highway", nine more albums, and countless live performances, a legacy has been forged and enriched over the decades. Now in their sixth decade, Pure Prairie League continues to inspire a new generation of country rockers-including Keith Urban, Nickel Creek, Wilco, Counting Crows, and many others who cite PPL as a major influence.

With the release of their new album, Back On Track, Pure Prairie League brings it all full circle. The project features a dozen new songs that reflect the band's enduring sound, energy, and spirit-a sound that began in 1970 and continues to resonate with fans old and new.
