The Alliance Arts Council will begin their performing arts season on Friday, October 22.
POPPA BEAR NORTON has been called a “Two Man Musical Marvel”. These two men have put hours of work into writing, crafting, and performing their own brand of country western music that they like to call Daredevil Country.
Their style harkens back to the days of Buck Owens and Johnny Cash, as well as the outlaw era of Waylon, Willie, and Haggard. A time when a song was written like a well-crafted story and performed with passion, sincerity, humor, and refined musical skill. When “Poppa Bear” (aka The Singer) and “B” (aka The Slinger) hit the stage and fire up their one part honky-tonk, one part Hee-Haw styled country show, it’s fast, exciting, fun and entertaining. That’s what makes it daredevil country.
The duo was awarded both the 2018 Songwriter of the Year and Maverick Awards from the Midwest Country Music Association, plus their mommas will tell you they’re nice boys! The Singer and The Slinger have traveled all over this great land playing bars, honky-tonks, festivals and fairs – leaving folks entertained and making new friends along the way.
They will entertain in Alliance on Friday, October 22 at 7:00 p.m. at the Alliance High School Performing Arts Center.
Tickets are $10 for Adults, $9 for Senior and $5 for Students. Tickets are available at Redman’s Shoes, Carnegie Arts Center and at the door.
Business co-presenters for the Alliance Arts Council’s 2021-2022 season are Harris Sales, Western Nebraska Real Estate, FNIC (formerly Gregory’s Insurance), FNBO and KCOW/Double Q Country Radio.
