WHEELING -- Multiple country Grammy award winner Dwight Yoakam is coming to the Capitol Theatre in Wheeling on Thursday, Aug. 27.
Yoakam has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide, and he is a 21-time nominated, multiple Grammy award winner. He has 12 gold albums and nine platinum or multi-platinum albums, with five of those albums topping Billboard's Country Albums chart and another 14 landing in the Top 10.
His latest release, "Brighter Days" (Via Records/Thirty Tigers), marks his first new album in nine years. Released in November 2024, the album was written and recorded over a three-year period and features 12 new songs written or co-written by Yoakam. It also includes three seemingly disparate covers: "Keep On the Sunny Side" by the Carter Family, "Bound Away" by Cake and "Time Between" by Chris Hillman of The Byrds, artfully woven into the same body of work in the unmistakable style that could only be his.
Nearly 40 of Yoakam's singles have charted on Billboard, with 14 peaking in the Top 10. Some of his popular hits include "Guitars, Cadillacs," "Streets of Bakersfield," "A Thousand Miles From Nowhere," "Fast As You," "Honky Tonk Man," "Turn It On, Turn It Up, Turn Me Loose" and "Little Ways," just to name a few.
This show presented by Drusky Entertainment will be at the Capitol Theatre, 1015 Main St., Wheeling. Special guest for the evening will be Wesko. Show time is 7:30 p.m.
