Country music star Andy Griggs to headline 4th annual Guitars Under the Stars
NORWICH – Millennia Entertainment’s annual Guitars Under the Stars musical showcase has a history of bringing top-notch talent to Chenango County. This year, that tradition will continue when country music star Andy Griggs takes to the stage on Aug. 10 at the Chenango County Fairgrounds.
Terry Potter – who founded Millennia Entertainment in 2004 – reported that tickets are now on sale for the 4th annual Guitars Under the Stars, with a limited number available for $10 between now and June 30. Tickets will go for $15 between July 1 and Aug. 10, $20 the day of the show and can be purchased in advance at Hayes Office Products, the Sidney Video Entertainment Plus and the Chenango County Fair office. Tickets are also available online at brownpapertickets.com or by phone at 1-800-838-3006.
“We’re trying to keep tickets affordable despite Andy’s star power and popularity in the country scene and this year’s show is going to be bigger and better than anything we’ve done in the past,” said Potter. “I’m very excited to be bringing in a talent like Andy Griggs.”
Last year’s Guitars Under the Stars drew an estimated 1,800 people, according to Potter, and once again, a pair of lucky fans will have an opportunity to win a backstage VIP pass to the show. Those looking for a chance to meet Griggs and his band can register wherever tickets are sold and at other select outlets.
“We’re expecting to exceed last year’s attendance and we’re urging people to get out there and get their tickets,” said Potter. “There’s a limited supply of $10 tickets so you’re going to want to get them before we sell out.”
Griggs first burst onto the country music scene in 1999 with his debut RCA Nashville release “You Won’t Ever Be Lonely” and has over a dozen top ten singles to his credit, including the album’s title track, “Forever Gold,” “She’s More,” the country rocker “I’ll Go Crazy,” “Tonight I Wanna Be Your Man,” “Practice Life” (with Martina McBride), “She Thinks She Needs Me,” “Shine on Me” (with his hero and mentor Waylon Jennings) and the soul and blues of “One Mississippi.”
Potter called the string of top ten hits impressive, noting that “in any genre of music, if you have one hit, that’s great. If you have ten, that’s fantastic.”
Following the success of “You Won’t Ever Be Lonely,” Griggs recorded another pair of albums with RCA Nashville – 2002’s “Freedom” and 2004’s “This I Gotta See” – before joining the independent Montage Music Group label. In 2008, he released “The Good Life,” which produced the singles “Tattoo Rose” and “What If It’s Me.”
Potter said the show couldn’t go on without the dedication of the many fans who come out year after year, and credited them for its success.
“Thanks to the support we’ve seen from all of the fans in the past, as well as the Chenango County Fair, we’re able to bring this quality show to the area for their enjoyment year after year,” he added.
The Chenango County Fairground grandstand will open at 6 p.m. on Aug. 10 – with opening acts to be announced – and admission to the Chenango County Fair is not included in the ticket price. For more information contact Potter at 316-2870.
