It’s a night a real country music when Jackson comes to town – fans will hear the songs they love from the man who wrote them and made them famous, from his debut hit, “Here in The Real World” through signature songs such as “Chattahoochee,” “Drive” and “Gone Country”…the career-defining “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)” and poignant “Remember When”… party anthems “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” and “Good Time”…and many more.
