FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Charlie Daniels Band Added to the Weinberg Center Season Line-up

FREDERICK, MD, Tuesday, January 28, 2019 — Fiddler extraordinaire, Charlie Daniels, brings his down-home, good-old boy attitude, mixed with hard-edged Southern rock boogie and blues to the Weinberg Center stage Sunday, April 28, 2019 at 7:00 PM

Tickets start at $40 and may be purchased online at WeinbergCenter.org, by calling the Box Office at 301-600-2828, or in person at 20 West Patrick Street.

From his Dove Award winning gospel albums to his genre-defining Southern rock anthems and his CMA Award-winning country hits, few artists have left a more indelible mark on America’s musical landscape than Charlie Daniels. An outspoken patriot, beloved mentor to young artists and still a road warrior at age 80, Charlie has parlayed his passion for music into a multi-platinum career and a platform to support the military, underprivileged children and others in need.

His own unique voice as an artist emerged as Charlie recorded his self-titled solo album in 1970 for Capitol Records. Two years later he formed the Charlie Daniels Band and the group scored its first hit with the top ten “Uneasy Rider.” Since then the CDB has populated radio with such memorable hits as “Long Haired Country Boy,” “The South’s Gonna Do It Again,” “In America,” “The Legend of Wooley Swamp” and of course, his signature song, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” which won a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group in 1979 as well as single of the year at the Country Music Association Awards.

A complete listing of artists and performers scheduled for the 2018-2019 season can be found at WeinbergCenter.org.
