Charley Pride

Charley Pride tickets bring the splendor of classic country music live for all fans out there. With a multitude of hit numbers and albums studding his profile; Charley Pride became an iconic African American country rising as the highest-selling act for RCA since Elvis Presley. Unlike many first timers Pride struggled hard not to prove his mane, but to win acceptance in the context of his racial background. However, his debut single Snakes Crawl at Night punched all stereotypes in the face and Charley Pride gave a new face to country music. From this point onwards there was no looking back as he was not just accepted but welcomed. Pride's talent and hard work further took him up the ladder of stardom when he earned a dozen of RIAA gold certified albums locally. He became an international country celebrity with thirty gold and four platinum selling albums under his belt.

For almost a decade and a half he ruled the world of country delivering all time wonder hits like All I Have to Offer Is Me , Is Anybody Going To San Anitone and award winning trio; She's Too Good to Be True, Kiss an Angel Good Mornin  and Night Games.
