Fayette County Opry Returns March 18

The Fayette County Country Music Club will host their monthly Opry on Monday, March 18 at the Knights of Columbus Hall in La Grange. The show starts at 7 p.m. and the doors will open at 5:30 p.m. Admission is $8.

This month the opry will feature Steven Kidwell, Harmony Brook, and Victor Rodriguez.

Steven Kidwell started his music career at an early age. He was eight when he stepped on his first professional stage, with his mentor and superstar, Charlie Daniels. Before the performance to a sold out show, Steven received his first piece of professional advice. Charlie asked “Steven, are you scared boy?” to which Steven replied, “yes sir.” Charlie Daniels then said “good, if there is ever a time that you step onstage and ya aren’t nervous, then you are doing it all wrong.”

Steven has written, composed and recorded three albums, his fourth and latest album, “Memories And Milestones” has been hailed as one of the best albums to come out of Nashville, Tenn. in the last 10 years. It has many facets combining true country, southern Rock, and blues. His producers are Adam Knight and Christopher Latham, both are powerhouse producers in the Nashville area. Steven brought the music and his producers gave the album its soul by bringing in the top musicians in Nashville. To get the perfect sound, both bands used are well known by name alone, Reba McEntire’s band and George Straits, Ace In The Hole Band, as well as guitar by Vince Gill to round out the sound. In addition, he has won five Gold and Five Platinum Disc Awards in the past 3 years.
