22 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NOVEMBER 29, 2011 BOULEVARD CASINO PRESENTS DWIGHT YOAKAM LIVE AT THE RED ROBINSON SHOW THEATRE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3 Coquitlam, BC – Much had been made that Kentucky-born, Ohio-raised Dwight Yoakam was too country for Nashville when he first sought out his musical fortune in the mid-80’s but the truth is his music has always been too unique, too ruggedly individualistic to fit neatly into any one box. Like the icons he so admires – Elvis Presley, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens – Yoakam is one of a kind. He has taken his influences and filtered them into his own potent blend of country and rock that honours his forebearers and yet creates something beautifully new … a sound all his own. Yoakam has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide placing him in an elite class of global superstars. He has twelve gold albums and nine platinum/multi-platinum albums … including the triple platinum This Time. Five of those albums have topped Billboard’s Country Albums charts with another seven landing in the Top 10. More than thirty singles have charted with eighteen reaching the Top 20 including his hits “Honky Tonk Man”, “Please, Please Baby”, “Little Ways”, “I Sang Dixie”, “It Only Hurts When I Cry”, “Fast as You” and “Thousand Miles from Nowhere”. In addition, he has won two Grammy Awards and has earned a staggering twenty-one nominations. Dwight Yoakam will be performing for one night only at Boulevard Casino’s Red Robinson Show Theatre on February 3, 2012.
