Reba coming to Bozeman; tickets on sale July 15

Published: July 8, 2011

Reba McEntire – one of country music’s most successful female vocalists – makes her only Montana stop Oct. 20 at Brick Breeden Fieldhouse in Bozeman. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. July 15.

Since her song, “How Blue,” topped the country charts in 1984, the Oklahoma native and former barrel racer as made a name for herself as a “new traditionalist” – an artist who cleaves to country’s roots.

She’s since accrued a slew of awards, including 14 American Music awards, 13 Academy of Country Music awards, nine People's Choice awards, six Country Music Association awards and two Grammys.

Her last 13 studio albums have reached gold or platinum sales levels, and last year’s tour with George Strait and Lee Ann Womack grossed $41.6 million, making it the biggest-selling country music tour of 2010.

McEntire has also enjoyed success as an actress, starring in the TV show "Reba" from 2001-2007 and performing in Broadway productions of "Annie Get Your Gun" and "South Pacific."

After 35 years in the music business, she’s still crafting hits: In 2007, her album Reba Duets, entered the Billboard pop chart at number one, as did her 2009 album, Keep on Loving You; and her single, “Turn on the Radio,” made the Top 30 on Billboard’s country chart in the late summer of 2010. Her new album, All the Women I Am, was released last fall.

The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 20 with opening act The Band Perry. Tickets are $27- $71.50; call 800-808-5940 or visit ticketswest.com.
