Stars & Steel Guitars Concert Herrin,Il

Bobby D. Reed · Post by **Bobby D. Reed** » 26 Mar 2016 6:23 am

If you were planning to call me attend St Louis I have a great alternative. The Herrin Il Civic Center. It is a beautiful venue. Our show will be there Sept 1, 2 and 3. I have already booked a great Nashville backup band and 3 of the best known players in the business and more to come. If you see this venue you will fall in love with it as I did. I will release details much closer to show dates. Thanks to all and a donation is forthcoming to the forum for allowing these ads.

Sounds great Bobbie. I always enjoy your shows and the collection of super talent. Your past venue choices have been more than nice.

One of the best shows you'll ever see. Make plans now.
Bobby has a great show planned. Don't miss this one.

We will be featuring our USA made sockets, my instructional courses on pedal steel and new Mullen Pedal Steels, Peterson Strobo Plus HD tuners, picks, bars, fretboards, and a new violin pickup made in the USA. Lots of accessories from Peavey as we are now a Peavey dealer.

I just got confirmation from Marty Haggard for the Herrin Show. Also I learned that there are some RV hookups at the venue and there is a 4 seasons campground nearby...

Mason Ramsey is a 9 year old entertainer that packed the Herrin Civic Center last week. We have him booked for 2 performances. This alone will be worth attending. Also featuring Amber Martin and world known songwriters and singers David Chamberlain, Bruce Long and Jacob Lynda...See you there...

Where is the closest motel?

Hi Bob, there are hotels in Marion about 5 miles from the show.
Many of us will stay at the Super 8. Check for available rooms.

This sounds great. Since I'm only 20 minutes from Herrin at Lake of Egypt I'll be there for sure.

Bobby D. Reed · Post by **Bobby D. Reed** » 10 Aug 2016 3:46 pm

Thanks Dennis. We own a lot at Lake Of Egypt that I havenhaven't seen in years. Wonder if it is worth anything?
