Arvada Center Summer Entertainment Series: Southern Exposure and Baxter Black
ARVADA, CO – The Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities presents an up close and personal evening with bluegrass music and cowboy poetry favorite, Southern Exposure and Baxter Black. Part of the Summer Entertainment Series, this concert takes place on Saturday, July 12 at 7:30 p.m. in the Outdoor Amphitheater.
Described as “…the nation’s most successful living poet,” by The New York Times, Baxter Black, ex-veterinarian and sorry team roper, humorously accounts the flaws and foibles of everyday cowboy life. From the Tonight Show to PBS and NPR, Baxter’s hometown verse has been heard and loved by millions.
An Arvada Center favorite, Southern Exposure brings the perfect blend of traditional and contemporary Bluegrass tunes, and has carved out a permanent place in hearts all across Colorado.
Tickets are $32 for Covered, $18 for Lawn and $10 for Child (Lawn). For tickets, call the Arvada Center box office at (720) 898-7200 or visit arvadacenter.org. All summer concerts are held rain or shine.
