Yoakam adds second Ryman show
Tuesday, February 12, 2013 – Due to demand, Dwight Yoakam added a second headlining show at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium on Saturday, April 13. Tickets go on sale Friday, Feb. 15.
Yoakam's April 12 show sold out in less than 30 minutes when it went on sale Friday.
This marks Yoakam's return to the Mother Church of Country Music's stage for the first time since 2005. "The Ryman is one of a handful of places in the world, that from the moment you step inside, you can feel that you have entered a hallowed chamber occupied by the essence of the great," said Yoakam, who is currently touring in support of "3 Pears." The Lone Bellow, a buzz band from Brooklyn, is set to open.
"3 Pears," Yoakam's 26th studio album, is his highest-charting debut on the Billboard 200 and Billboard Country Albums charts.

One of country music's most consistent stylists, Yoakam's sound has always been a nod to the Bakersfield of Buck Owens, hardcore honky-tonk played by a swinging band, and he's not about to change this far into his career, it seems.
Analyzing his albums, then, boils down to which songs hit the spot best; they will all fill you up but some just taste better than others. ...
In this 1988 Austin City Limits program and nearing 32 years old, Dwight Yoakam was approaching his commercial zenith. His third album, "Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room," had just been released, bringing him his only number one country singles "Streets of Bakersfield" (included here in duet with Buck Owens along with Flaco Jimenez) and "I Sang Dixie," also included.
His second ACL appearance, Yoakam delivers a generous, 14-song reminder of how freakin' unusual ...
Dwight Yoakam appears to be a many of mystery on the cover.
