Colorado Springs welcomes country star

A country music star will be taking his show through Colorado Springs in late July.

Sam Hunt is a singer and songwriter. Starting his career after an injury took him out of football, Hunt has recorded and written many tracks, including a writing credit on the 2012 Kenny Chesney hit “Come On Over.” Some of the songs in his discography include “Body Like A Back Road,” “Breaking Up Was Easy In The ‘90s,” “Ex To See,” and “Young Once.” Hunt is known for his ability to blend different styles and genres of music, crediting both Alice Cooper and Brad Paisley among the artists who inspired him.

The latest tour will feature Russell Dickerson along with Hunt. Tickets run from $67 to $154. The pits in the front are standing only, while other sections have seating available. Merchandise featuring a graphic design relating to the tour and the artist are often for sale at concerts.

The venue for this show is the Weidner Field, and it will be presented by Switchback Entertainment. Parking is distributed across areas close to the venue, allowing for a better traffic flow. ParkMobile is the service the city has chosen to use, so guests are advised to use this when preparing for the show.

The concert is set to start at 7:30 pm on Thursday, July 28th.
