The POA’s final 2019 Concerts at the Lodge series will wrap up next weekend with a performance by legendary country music artist Billy Dean on Saturday, Nov. 2, in the Holiday Bay Room at the lodge. The Guilty Conscience duo Rochelle and Paula will be opening the show. Doors open at 6 p.m., concert starts at 7 p.m.

General Admission tickets cost $24; VIP tickets cost $49. Tickets are available at the POA office and through the POA’s website at canyonlakepoa.com.

Those in attendance will be treated to a meet and greet with Billy after the show.

Billy Dean is a modern-day American Troubadour who has mastered the art of singing, songwriting, and storytelling.  His unique ability to morph into the characters in his songs while performing live brings the storyline to life with musical drama. Dean’s finger-style acoustic guitar playing is reminiscent of James Taylor.

“Canyon Lakers will witness an upfront and personal acoustic performance where Billy’s charismatic charm and approachable personality will feel like an intimate living room setting,” said Concerts at the Lodge Producer Doug Schultz.

Dean has sold more than five million albums, five of which were certified Gold, has performed and toured with some of the industries biggest country stars, including The Judds, Kenny Rogers, Clint Black and Alan Jackson. He has recorded five Number One smash hit singles, has 11 Top Ten singles and has been nominated by every major music award entity. Dean was inducted into the Florida Hall Of Fame in 2017.

“The Billy Dean unplugged show will be a musical storytelling evening from a true living legend in country music,” says Schultz. “The Concerts at the Lodge experience is wonderful.”

The Concerts at the Lodge series line up for 2020 will be announced at the start of the show. Tickets for next year’s concerts go on sale in December. “Just in time for Canyon Lakers to buy them as Christmas gifts for family and friends,” said Schultz. “We have a great line up, early ticket purchase is recommended.”
