One of Cowboy Lifestyle Network’s favorites is local artist Harry Luge, who takes the stage on Saturday, June 1 at 8 p.m. for a free concert, compliments of Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casio. His sound has been likened to a combination of Travis Tritt, Waylon Jennings, and Pat Green. Arizona native Luge started singing at age 5 and went on to perform in national commercials and released numerous albums. Luge took some time off to pursue academics, returning to singing in 2013. He’s opened for musical legends like Merle Haggard, Brad Paisley, Chris Ledoux, Neal McCoy, Martina McBride, and Montgomery Gentry, to name a few. Don’t miss this great show, filled with his soulful and swingy ballads!

Next, groups Los Lonely Boys and Ozomatli come together to perform at 8 p.m. on Saturday, June 8 for their “La Familia” tour.  Get your dancing shoes on, you don’t want to miss this concert.
