Shenandoah: 40th Anniversary Tour

Bear Creek Smokehouse is a well-known BBQ restaurant and music venue,so a show of this size typically draws a crowd. Call the venue at (903) 935-5217 or check bearcreeksmokehouse.com for tickets and updates.

The band

Shenandoah broke through in the 1980s,and piled up a string of country hits,from"If Bubba Can Dance (I Can Too)"to"Mountain Music"and"The Church on Cumberland Road".Their sound is polished country with gospel harmonies,and their live show has always leaned on singalongs and audience favorites. A 40th Anniversary Tour is exactly the kind of milestone that brings a classic band back out on the road,and Bear Creek's outdoor,barn-style setting suits the material perfectly,

A tour stop like this does not come through the Piney Woods every weekend,but it is a reminder that Northeast Texas rural counties are on the map where legacy country acts actually play: not just stadiums,but smokehouses,halls,and fairgrounds,all within an easy evening's drive of the property,

The venue

Bear Creek Smokehouse is a working Texas barbecue restaurant that doubles as a live music venue just off State Highway 154,in Marshall,Texas. It has become one of the region's destinations for country talent,bringing in acts that usually would not stop this deep in East Texas. The setting is casual: BBQ plates,folding chairs,green grass,and a stage outdoors where the music,and the smokehouse smoke share the evening air,

The drive from the property

Bear Creek sits a little over an hour south and east of the property,roughly 75 miles by car through the Piney Woods. It is further than the usual area venues on this calendar,but a 40th Anniversary Tour by a band with a catalog like this is worth the drive for anyone who loves classic country. Plan the ride,get there early for a BBQ plate,and make a proper Saturday night of it,
