Country Star Gary Allan Returns November 7

Live! in Concert • The Pavilion at Coushatta

August 29, 2008

Kinder, LA—Country rocker Gary Allan will perform one show only in The Pavilion at Coushatta on Friday, November 7. Tickets will go on sale September 12 at Ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster outlets, and Coushatta Box Office. His most recent concert at Coushatta sold out within days. Allan’s hits include Nothing On But The Radio, Man to Man, Tough All Over, It Would Be You, The One, Best I Ever Had, and Watching Airplanes.

Allan is touring in promotion of LIVING HARD, his latest release from MCA Nashville––hard-rockin’, no-apologies country music that has traded in its twang for a gravelly growl millions of fans recognize and love. “The record has taken about a year to make,” he says, “and I think the whole thing reflects change. I think every record sort of reflects where I’m at, and I’ve made a ton of changes this year, just mentally and in how I’m approaching everything. “Oh,” he adds with a grin, “and I think it’s much more rockin’ than anything I’ve done.”

Allan decided to crank it up musically. “I just felt like I was growing so much and wanted the music to reflect that. I think the result has more of an edge.” More edge, from the man who’s already got a reputation as a bit of a Nashville outsider? “Hopefully country music feels like they need somebody like me in the fold just to shake things up,” he laughs.
