Tickets go on sale Monday for an Oct. 15 performance by country music star Tanya Tucker at Rivers Events Center at Wildhorse Resort & Casino.
For over four decades, Tucker’s sultry voice and vivacious stage presence has helped to make her one of the most admired and respected female vocalist in country music.
Her style has proven to be timeless ever since she recorded her debut single “Delta Dawn,” at age 13. The single earned a Grammy nomination for “Best Female Country Vocal Performance” and launched Tucker into the national spotlight during the beginning of her teenage years. In 1972, she earned the “Top New Female Vocalist” award by the Academy of Country Music. The Tucker craze continued with her first number one single, in 1973, “What’s Your Mama’s Name.”
Tucker achieved an unusual feat for a female country artist at the time with a Rolling Stone cover story with the headline, “Hi, I’m Tanya Tucker, I’m 15, You’re Gonna Hear From Me.” Truer words have never been spoken. As additional hits continued through years, her career would prove to be one for the record books. The 1990’s gave rise to some of Tucker’s most recognizable and career defining songs, “Two Sparrows in a Hurricane” and “It’s a Little Too Late” and she hasn’t slowed down since.
The Wildhorse show is the latest stop on the journey of Tayna Tucker’s storied career. Tickets are $49 for Premium Seating and $39 for General Seating. Tickets can be purchased at the Wildhorse Resort & Casino Gift Shop or online.
