Join us in celebrating 25 years of “Achy Breaky Heart” on Saturday, September 23rd at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are priced at $60.00 for General and $58.00 for Seniors for Gold Level Seating.

Throughout the course of nearly three decades, Billy Ray Cyrus has achieved international success as a singer, songwriter, entertainer, and philanthropist. He has sold millions of albums, charted 35 singles, 16 of which are Top 40 hits and continues to receive critical acclaim as an actor, writer, and executive producer in film and television.

Throughout the early 90s, Cyrus had a string of releases off the album that bulleted up the charts, including “Achy Breaky Heart,” “Could’ve Been Me,” “Where’m Gonna Live When I Get Home,” “She’s Not Cryin’ Anymore” and the title track, “Some Gave All,” which earned Cyrus the Bob Hope Award for Excellence in Entertainment.

Although he had become a sought-after actor, he stayed committed as an always consummate singer-songwriter. As Cyrus put it, “I became an actor, but I was born a singer-songwriter from Flatwoods, Kentucky. That’s who I am. I lived the music and I couldn’t help but write about it.” Behind the scenes, Cyrus continued to write. While watching daughter, Miley leave for California, he wrote “Ready, Set, Don’t Go,” which ultimately became a worldwide smash.

In between roles, Cyrus released Wanna Be Your Joe in 2006 and he also enjoyed chart success with the Hannah Montana album, which featured the father-daughter anthem “Butterfly Fly Away” as a duet with Miley.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of “Achy Breaky Heart,” Billy Ray Cyrus has made several new versions of the famed song including a one-of-a-kind Spanglish version with Latin superstar Jencarlos Canela.
