The word legend couldnt be more apt for Merle Haggard. Its an acknowledgement of his artistry and his standing as the poet of the common man. Its a tribute to his incredible commercial success and to the lasting mark he has made, not just on the country genre, but on American music as a whole. Through deceptively simple lyrics and exceptionally listenable music, there is truth in the stories he tells.Location: Mary Stuart Rogers Theater
