\/\/illy Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 The New Country 95.3 presents: Merle Haggard Tuesday, May 25, 2004, 8:00 p.m., Massey Hall (Tickets $77.50, $67.50, $62.00, $52.00) As a performer and a songwriter, Merle Haggard was possibly, the most important country artist to emerge in the 1960s. While his music remained hardcore country, he pushed the boundaries quite far drawing from all forms of traditional American music - country, jazz, blues, and folk - and in the process, developed a distinctive style of his own. As a performer, singer, and musician, he was one of the best, influencing countless other artists. Not coincidentally, he was the best singer/songwriter in country music since Hank Williams, writing a body of songs that became classics. Throughout his career, Haggard has been a champion of the working man, largely due to his rough and tumble history.
