To show our appreciation for our patrons’ support, we are hosting a special evening just for them. The Rifters, from Taos, NM, will begin their Texas tour Thursday, Oct. 15. at “The V,” Nocona VFW Hall. Playing their blend of Southwestern folk-country Americana, the concert will be a lively beginning to the 2015-16 music season.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Drinks available for purchase. Patrons may bring their own appetizers. The V, 100 Baylor Street, Nocona

We’re excited to announce the music lineup for 2015-2016 Nocona Nights Music Series, our 13th year of highly acclaimed dinner concerts.  For this season we’ve also added several special events.

• We’ll open the season with a special “Thank You, Patrons” House Concert Oct. 15 featuring The Rifters at The V, Nocona VFW.
• Because last year’s two-day Nocona Nights’ Music Festival was such a success, we’ve scheduled it again featuring Bob Livingston, Charlie Robison, Davin James, and Cooder Graw.
• Justin Frizzell’s Texas Red Dirt Radio Show comes to The Veranda Event Center on Nov. 15. Tommy Alverson, Max Stalling, and Matt Hillyer will share their songs and stories. The show will be broadcast live on 95.9 The Ranch.
• Cowboy Glam will be the dress as Gary P. Nunn will return for this year’s Cowboy Christmas Ball Dec. 12.

Prices of season packages remain the same as last year. First priority will be given to last year’s patrons.  Any extra tickets will then be offered to patrons who want to buy tickets for guests. Patrons will have until Aug 15 to contact Nell Ann McBroom, Nocona Chamber of Commerce, and confirm their season package.

New patron season packages will be offered after Aug.15 on a first-come-first-served basis if there are any available.

On Saturday night Deryl Dodd and Band will perform at Daddy Sam’s in downtown Nocona.  Doors open at 6, dinner about 6:30 and concert about 7:15.

Here’s a short bio of Gary P.:

Gary P. Nunn has been TAKING TEXAS TO THE COUNTRY and Texas country to the world for some 40 years now, establishing himself as an icon of Lone Star music. A founding father of the progressive country movement out of Austin in the 1970s that changed the face of popular music, Nunn is also an independent music pioneer who continues to oversee his own record label and song publishing companies, manage his own career (with the help of his wife Ruth), and play most every weekend at top music venues throughout Texas and beyond. His composition “London Homesick Blues” — with its internationally known “I wanna go home with the Armadillo” chorus — is a signature Texas country song that was the theme for the PBS concert TV show “Austin City Limits” for nearly three decades. It’s no wonder that All Music Guide hails him as “a Texas music institution.”
