Randy Houser
ft. special guest Lil’ Skinny
Wednesday, April 16 @ 8PM
Presented by Advanced Solution

With an inimitable voice The New York Times describes as “wholly different, thicker and more throbbing, a caldron bubbling over,” Randy Houser has racked up over half a dozen hits and 1 billion streams. His How Country Feels album topped the charts with the title track, “Runnin’ Outta Moonlight” and “Goodnight Kiss” (also his first No. 1 as a songwriter) and earned critical acclaim for his powerful delivery of the Top 5 smash and nominated CMA Song of the Year, “Like A Cowboy.” Houser has since added a fourth No. 1 to his catalogue with “We Went” from his 2016 album, Fired Up.
