We’re pleased to welcome back Michael Hearne and Shake Russell and Band, favorites of Nocona Nights’ fans. Doors at Daddy Sam’s will open at 6, dinner about 6:30, concert about 7 PM.
This is our last concert of the Season, and we’re already looking forward to an even bigger and better Ten Year Anniversary next year.
No tickets are sold at the door. All seating is by Season Tickets or as a guest of a Season Ticket Holder.
To get on the waiting list for next Season (2012-2013) please call the Chamber at 940 825 3526.
We’re always happy to have Two Tons of Steel back at Daddy Sam’s. A favorite of Nocona Nights patrons, they always put on an energetic performance.
Doors open at 6; dinner around 6:30; concert around 7 PM.
No tickets are available at the door. Contact the Nocona Chamber of Commerce at 940 825 3526 for stand-by availability.
If there’s one thing Texans love, it’s a good party. But if you ask self respecting Lone Star carousers what turns a bash into a blast, they
won’t say beer or barbecue. They know it all comes down to the music.
And there’s one band that can rouse revelers like no other: Two Tons of
Steel.
Two Tons’ rambunctious brand of country-rooted rock has been
inspiring listeners in the great republic — and far beyond — for more
than two decades.
Lead singer-acoustic guitarist Kevin Geil does the heavy lifting when it
comes to describing the San Antonio-based band’s sound. “Two Tons
is two tons of steel,” he says. “We’re kind of in your face, almost punk
rock at times.”
It’s high-energy, that’s for sure. Inspired equally by Elvis Presley and the
Ramones, Two Tons combines the talents of the kinetic Geil with Dennis
Fallon on electric guitar, Chris Dodds on drums and harmony vocals,
and Chris Rhoades on upright and electric bass.
”We push the envelope of our abilities every album,” says Geil, and their
newest album, Not That Lucky, is no different.
”We’re primed right now,” says Geil. “We’re ready to go.” Ready to
ladle out some hot molten steel, that is.
Once again we are so pleased to present Hot Club Of Cowntown to our Patrons and Season Ticket holders at Nocona Nights. They will perform Friday March 2nd at Daddy Sam’s.
Doors open at 6. Dinner around 6:30. Concert about 7:15.
Tickets are available only to season ticketholders and their friends, unless by special arrangements if additional tickets become available. No ticket sales at the door.
Nocona Nights is pleased to announce the performances of Max and Heather, as well as Blacktop Gypsys for February 18th, 2012.
Texas based songwriter Max Stalling had no expectation of
ever being in the music business. “I didn’t even pick up a guitar
until graduate school,” notes Stalling. After attending high school
in South Texas, Stalling studied at Texas A&M – College Station,
where he earned a masters degree in Food Science. He followed
the corporate road and eventually landed in Dallas working in
product development for Frito-Lay.
During this time, Stalling discovered the Three Teardrops
Tavern and Dallas community radio station KNON. These outlets
exposed a musical heritage to which Stalling had been nearly
oblivious. Inspired by artists like Townes Van Zandt, Robert Earl
Keen, Guy Clark, Lyle Lovett, and Jerry Jeff Walker, Stalling started
writing songs, recording albums, and eventually touring with a full
band to back him. Fifty thousand CDs later, Stalling received a
star on the South Texas Music Walk of Fame in Corpus Christi.
Stalling plays about 150 shows a year and is in the third
year of a Budweiser sponsorship. “Scars and Souvenirs” was
used as the title for an episode of Grey’s Anatomy in 2007. He is a
former member of the Board of Governors for the Texas Chapter
of NARAS and has been lucky enough to share the stage with
most of the artists that inspired him to start writing in the first
place.
Stalling’s style is modern with a vintage feel. He creates a
dynamic live show that’s smart, charming and as listenable as it is
danceable. Stalling is equally at home on a huge concert stage in
front of thousands or playing an acoustic set for a hundred.
We’re all excited about Davin coming to Nocona Nights on Saturday, November 12th. Davin is a long-time favorite performer at our venue, and always puts on a tremendous show of high-energy music. He’s a great entertainer, and it will be a really fun evening.
As usual, doors open at 6 PM, dinner about 6:30PM, and music starts about 7 PM or so.
Everyone’s excited about Dale Watson appearing at Nocona Nights! He’s a major entertainer and we’re looking forward to a great show. See the link on this website for more information about him.
We sold out Season Tickets again this year….three months in advance and in about two weeks. The unfortunate thing is that we do not have enough seats to accomodate everyone wanting a ticket. We had 160 requests for our 120 Season Tickets. Also, thanks to the tremendous generosity of our Patrons, we will have the financial resources to continue our music productions with great entertainers and great food, in a fabulous setting….Daddy Sam’s!
Thank you for all you do to make Nocona Nights a phenomenal sucess. The Ninth Season is about to begin!
July 7, 2011
Dear Patron and Season Ticket Holder,
We are very pleased and excited to announce the Ninth Season of Nocona Nights! Thanks to the continuing hard work of many volunteers on the committee, we’re planning a remarkable slate of performers and great evenings of dining for your entertainment.
Schedule 2011-2012
October 15 Dale Watson
November 12 Davin James Band
December 2 Amber Digby (Friday)
February 18 Max Stalling/Heather Stalling
March 2 Hot Club of Cowtown (Friday)
April 14 Two Tons of Steel
May 5 Michael Hearne
Due to our increased costs, we find that we need to raise our prices by $15.00 ($2.14 per concert), the first price increase in several years. Season Tickets will cost $195.00 per person, which is still a price that can’t be beat for dinner and a great show!
We also plan to increase your listening pleasure by limiting Season Ticket sales to 120 tickets. We’ve experienced some overcrowding situations, and want to remedy that by decreasing the number of tickets we sell, compared to last year.
First choice and availability of seating will go to Patrons, who have done so much by contributing extra funding which has made these nine seasons possible. We would not have been able to continue the performances without this level of support. If there are tickets still available after purchase by past or future Patrons, they will then be made available to prior Season Ticket Holders on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please fill out the form below and take it or mail it to the Nocona Chamber at the Tales and Trails Museum, 1522 East U. S. Highway 82, Nocona, Texas 76255 or email it to Clint Brown at chismbrownranch@gmail.com or fax 940 987 3473.
Sales will be open to Patrons until July 22nd and then offered to those on the waiting list for Season Tickets. Hope you can join us for a great season!

We greatly appreciate all your support over the years. Nocona Nights
has brought amazing performers to Nocona, the likes of which you’d
have to go to Austin or Nashville to enjoy.
We hope you’ll continue to support Nocona Nights for this next
performance season. We couldn’t do it without YOU.
A special thanks to all the volunteers who work so hard all year to
put on these dinners and shows. They all do it for the love of the
music and the love of Nocona.
Thank you all so much.
On April 16th we’ll welcome Two Tons back to Nocona Nights. All their past performances here have been memorable, and we’re excited to see them return by popular demand.
Door open at 6 PM Saturday, April 16th, with dinner about 6:30 PM and the concert about 7:15 PM.
As a reminder, performances have been sold out for the year, but guests of Patrons and Season Ticket Holders may be accomodated as seating permits.
Next performance is May 7th when Deryl Dodd will perform. That will be the last performance of this season.
An exciting line-up is being planned for next year, so stay tuned for the announcement of next year’s concerts.
