On October 16th The Nocona Nights Dinner/Music Series will begin it's ninth year of production with musical entertainment provided by the iconic Texas singer/songwriter, Ray Wylie Hubbard.
This year's Nocona Nights music series will host seven shows and will also include performances by The Rifters, a great Southwestern Americana trio from Northern New Mexico;
the Western swing music of the Quebe Sisters;
the Texas Honkeytonk music of Deryl Dodd;
Gary P. Nunn, one of the original members of the Lost Gonzo Band who wrote, "London Homesick Blues";
another great Western Swing band, Hot Club of Cowtown with Elana James;
and the always high energy Two Tons of Steel out of San Antonio.
All shows will be held at Daddy Sam's Saloon in downtown Nocona with the exception of the October show featuring Ray Wylie Hubbard. Due to a scheduling conflict at Daddy Sam's, the October show is being held at the Carpenter's Shop(the Nocona Senior Citizens Center). One benefit of holding the show there, however, is that we can seat about twice as many people as we have season ticket holders, so anyone who would like to attend that show should be able to purchase a ticket by calling the Nocona Chamber of Commerce at (940)825-3526. The cost is $30 and includes a meal before the show. Due to the limited seating in Daddy Sam's, the other shows are all unofficially sold out since we have as many season ticket holders as we do seats, however, since we almost always have some season ticket holders that are not able to attend every show, we are usually able to accomodate a handful of people each show if they call the Chamber office in advance and get on a waiting list. Hope to see some of you at this year's shows.
