One of Colorado's top ten summer concert destinations is in Cheyenne

The Denver Post says “don't miss these 10 summer concerts.”
Colorado's legendary summer weather combined with Coloradans' renowned passion for live music creates a maelstrom of good times. And here are 10 shows we're especially looking forward in the next few months.
Some great names on the list. Mana. The Shins. The Denver Ukefest with Jake Shimabukuro, Nellie McKay and Aldrine Guerrero. Slim Cessna's Auto Club.
Number seven on the Post’s top ten list is a concert series in a neighboring state – ours. Pretty unusual choice in this usually Denvercentric Front Range universe.
7. CHEYENNE FRONTIER DAYS WITH ZAC BROWN BAND, BRAD PAISLEY, MERLE HAGGARD, JOURNEY: Frontier Days always features a big lineup, but this year's is especially mammoth. From country legend Haggard to megastars Brown and Paisley — along with arena rockers Journey — this is as solid a lineup as the event has in years. (July 20-28, Cheyenne Frontier Nights).
Cool.

Mike,

That is impressive. Debby likes Brad Paisley so I talked my Sprint Rep into free suite tickets for his show. I figured he would be good and heard he was good on the guitar. I was in fact blown away, one of the best concerts i have been to. He is a great guitar player and a great entertainer. It was as good as Tom Petty concert which is saying a lot.

Besides great music, the visuals were also really good and worked. You need to go see him. As far as Merle Haggard, well, he is a legend and needs no recommendation from me.

I recall fondly visiting with you on Frontier Days 2004.
