Dwight Yoakam will perform at Spotlight 29 Feb. 1.
Country icon Dwight Yoakam will be back in the desert this weekend for a show at Spotlight 29 Casino in Coachella on Saturday, Feb. 1.
Coming up in Los Angeles, Yoakam and his honky tonk sound would share the stage with artists such as X and Los Lobos. Among his biggest hits are “Streets of Bakersfield,” recorded with his hero Buck Owens, “I Sang Dixie” and “Honky Tonk Man.”
Yoakam has appeared not only at a number of the area’s casinos, but is one of the few artists to perform at both the Stagecoach Country Music Festival and the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio.
Bring a pair of shades if you’re sensitive to light because Yoakam’s sparkly guitar straps and accessories might blind you if the light catches them in just the right way.
8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 1, Spotlight 29 Casino, 46-200 Harrison Place, Coachella, 866-377-6829, $45-$65, 21 and older only. Visit www.spotlight29.com for tickets and more information.
