Kinder, LA––Coushatta Casino Resort is proud to present Country music legend Hank Williams Jr. on Saturday night, August 6, in The Pavilion at Coushatta. Doors open at 6:30pm; show starts at 8:00pm. Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster outlets, and Coushatta Box Office where Advantage Club members receive a $10 discount.

Williams’ career spans over five decades, and ranges from his youthful tributes to his father’s music, to the forging of his own unique sound and overwhelming success in the country music industry. His music has long been the voice of the common man, a barometer reflecting both our nation’s challenges and the resilience of the human spirit. And he managed to perfectly capture the country’s sense of fun and competitive drive every Monday night as he looked into the cameras before ABC’s Monday Night Football and roared “Are You Ready for Some Football?” Those words not only won him a legion of new fans, they also earned Williams the distinction of being the first country artist to ever to win an Emmy, a feat he repeated 1990 through 1993. Over his 50-year career, Williams has received 5 Entertainer of the Year awards, 4 Emmy awards, and has recorded 10 #1 singles, 13 #1 albums, 20 gold albums, and 6 platinum albums.
