Hal Ketchum and Aztec Two-Step
Performance Date: 08/22/2008, 8:00 pm

Writing from his soul, Hal Ketchum takes a unique approach to song writing. A member of the Grand Ole Opry since 1994, this country music singer/songwriter burst on to the Nashville scene with his first hit, “Past the Point of Rescue,” in 1991. Collaborations with Neil Diamond, Trisha Yearwood, and most recently, LeAnn Rimes have added up to more than fifteen top ten hits, including “I know Where Love Lives,” “Hearts Are Gonna Roll,” “Sure Love,” “I Miss My Mary” and his newest singles “One More Night” and “In Front of the Alamo.” Noted by USA Today “the most effervescent voice in country music,” his powerful lyrics and soul-touching melodies transport each listener into the drama and imagery of his story telling.

With a unique perspective on American pop culture, Aztec Two-Step duo, Rex Fowler and Neal Shulman have been dazzling folk/rock fans for more than three decades. Winners of the New York Music Award for Best Folk Album and listed on Billboards year-end critic’s poll, their songs have been likened to folk legends James Taylor and Simon and Garfunkel. Staying true to the core of their rich lyrics, remarkable acoustic guitar and nostalgic harmonies, Aztec Two-Step continues to inspire listeners of folk and rock across all generations.
