Join us for what is bound to be a great night of country music! Rick Cook and Strait Country bring to life the familiar sounds of the undeniable "King of County Music" George Strait, whose hits have played on radios worldwide since 1981. Rick Cook, based out of Oswego, Kansas, understands his muse completely as a performer who also hails from the American Midwest. With hits such as, "This Is Where the Cowboy Rides Away," "Check Yes or No," and "Amarillo By Morning," music lovers will find it easy to sing along to a familiar tune! As an added bonus, Jayly Rae will accompany Rick Cook and Strait Country as an opening act!

Programming at the National Willa Cather Center's Red Cloud Opera House is made possible with the support of the Nebraska Arts Council and the Nebraska Cultural Endowment
