One Night of Country

One Night of Country comes to the Joseph Rowntree Theatre on Saturday 19 September, a night that takes country music from the timeless classics to today's biggest hits. It's not a single act, but a full evening of country music performed live on stage, with a set that spans the genre's history rather than sticking to one era.

The bill is built around the songs that have defined country music over the decades. You'll hear the legendary anthems that built the sound, alongside the modern favourites that have kept it going. The night is carried by a mix of male and female vocals, with the musicianship on stage providing the backing for both. Between the older standards and the newer hits, the set covers a wide stretch of the country songbook.

It's a night that works as well for people who've followed country for years as it does for those who've only recently got into it. The mix of voices and the range of songs mean there's something familiar in there regardless of where your tastes lie, and the whole thing is played live. It's a straightforward evening of music, with the focus on the songs themselves.

One Night of Country starts at 19:30 at the Joseph Rowntree Theatre on Haxby Road, York YO31 8TA. Tickets are £18 to £20.
