Don’t miss an unforgettable evening of country music as Clint Black comes to The Family Arena on Saturday, April 12. With special guests Ruby Leigh and Emily Ann Roberts.
It is one of the most storied careers in modern music. Clint Black surged to superstardom as part of the fabled Class of ’89, reaching #1 with five consecutive singles from his triple- platinum debut, Killin’ Time. He followed that with the triple-platinum Put Yourself in My Shoes, and then a string of platinum and gold albums throughout the ’90s. Perhaps most impressively, Clint wrote or co-wrote every one of his more than three dozen chart hits, including “A Better Man,” “Killin’ Time,” “When My Ship Comes In,” “A Good Run of Bad Luck,” “Summer’s Comin’,” “Like the Rain” and “Nothin’ But the Taillights,” part of a catalog that produced 22 #1 singles and made him one of the most successful singer/songwriters of the modern era.
Along the way, Clint has sold over 20 million records, earned more than a dozen gold and platinum awards in the U.S. and Canada including a GRAMMY, landed nearly two dozen major awards and nominations, and earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In addition to touring throughout North America, Clint hosts his own television talk show “Talking In Circles” on Circle TV.
Ruby Leigh is a self-taught country music sensation hailing from the tiny town of Foley, Missouri—population 68. At just 17 years old, Ruby has already made waves in the music world, including making her Grand Ole Opry debut and becoming a finalist on NBC’s The Voice. And that’s only the beginning.
Inspired by legends like Hank Williams Sr., Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, and Ernest Tubb, Ruby admires their authenticity—what she calls “the real singers” who didn’t rely on technology like autotune. True to her idols, Ruby performs without lyric sheets or digital instruments, boasting a repertoire of over 200 classic country songs—all stored in her memory.
In late 2023, Emily Ann released her debut full-length album, Can’t Hide Country, produced by Trent Willmon (Cody Johnson). The album, which has already garnered over 23 million streams, showcases her unique blend of traditional country and bluegrass roots, which is undeniably heard on the tune “Whole Lotta Little,” a viral sensation with over 10 million cumulative views on TikTok.
Emily Ann’s star continues to rise, with her inclusion in the CMT Next Women of Country 2024 Class. After wrapping up Blake Shelton’s Back To The Honky Tonk Tour, she joined Jamey Johnson’s What A View Tour for eight select dates this summer. Adding to her impressive list of accomplishments, Emily Ann is also a featured artist in Disney’s Country Bear Musical Jamboree, performing “Try Everything” from Zootopia as Trixie St. Claire. From small-town beginnings to the national spotlight, Emily Ann Roberts continues to captivate audiences and garner countless fans with her tuneful twang, vivid songwriting and charismatic stage presence.
