SUMMARY:Dusty Slay: The Night Shift Tour
DESCRIPTION:Long hair\, tobacco\, over-sized glasses and a trucker hat\, Dusty Slay is the self-effacing bourbon-voiced Southern comedian next door with a knack for observational\, blue-collar humor and the nerve to say what everyone else is thinking. He grew up the son of a single mom in an Alabama trailer park and evokes laughs about everything from Cracker Barrel to his aversion to soap. The 40-year-old Nashville native is a mainstay on the country music scene\, making his Grand Ole Opry debut in 2019 – the youngest at the time\, and adding dozens of appearances in the historic Circle ever since. He has also appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live\, has a Comedy Central special to his credit and just released his first hour-long Netflix special “Workin’ Man” that he filmed about three hours from home\, at the Bijou theater in Knoxville\, Tennessee. With almost 20 years of eliciting guffaws through his laidback observations\, comedic cadence and conversational style\, Dusty is just getting started bringing his brand of relatable working-class comedy to audiences coast to coast. Slay recently announced his 35-show “The Night Shift Tour” in support of the new special. See below for tour routing and more details can be found at DustySlay.com. \nThis event has been designated as a No-Weapons event*\n*with exception for law enforcement

Based in Dripping Springs\, Texas\, the trio of songwriters who developed their sound at Tornillo\, Texas’ storied Sonic Ranch have been building a following that’s sold-out the Houston Rodeo and Livestock Show\, packed a multiple-night stand at Ft. Worth’s iconic Billy Bob’s and re-opened North Hollywood’s legendary Palomino Club for one night only. Bringing listeners a resurgence of their thick harmonies\, sad melodies\, tart lyrics and steel guitar with their critically-acclaimed Dave Cobb-produced album Barely Blue (Big Machine Records)\, the retro-Nuevo trio has grown from bar band to an in-demand headliner. For more on Midland and tour updates\, visit MidlandOfficial.com. \nVIP PACKAGE IS AVAILABLE!* – All-In Price: $319.50 \nVIP Package includes one reserved seat ticket\, access to the pre-show acoustic performance and Q&A\, priority early entry\, Midland merchandise item – exclusive to VIP packages\, official Midland VIP laminate + lanyard and crowd free merchandise shopping opportunity. *Limited availability. \nMADE POSSIBLE BY: City of Elkhart\, Elkhart County CVB\, and Friends of the Lerner
