Gary Allan is scheduled to play the Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort Event Center on Friday, Nov. 13 at 9pm.
The Southern California-born Allan has been exploring the thorns since the beginning of his musical life, when he played the clubs during his high school years. After graduation, he developed a following in the area, regularly attracting an audience that featured a rare mix of rednecks in western boots and neo-Goths with piercings and spiked hair. Allan was particularly inspired in a concert by the Highwaymen – Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson – to pursue music that mined the dangerous side of life.
| Allan’s newest album, Set You Free, is a lyrical journey from darkness to light reflecting much of what went on behind it – the progression of Allan’s own life as an adult, the restoration of his voice, the renewed energy from working with new songwriting partners and the challenge of producing his own tracks and playing his own lead guitar. All of those changes have given him a new sense of freedom.
“I seem to gravitate musically toward wherever I’m at in my life at that time,” Allan says. “And I’m in a real good place.” |
