WWKI will welcome legendary country artist Glen Campbell to the Honeywell Center in Wabash on Thurs., May 10 at 7 p.m. Tickets for the show go on sale Tues., Feb. 21 at 8 a.m.
After 21 Top 40 hits and selling nearly 50 million records worldwide, the Rhinestone Cowboy is preparing to saddle up and ride into the sunset. In June 2011 Glen Campbell was diagnosed with the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. Because of his illness, Campbell wanted to perform one more time before retiring from the music industry, so he created "The Goodbye Tour" as his farewell to fans and to concert touring.
A country music singer, guitarist, television host, and actor, Glen Campbell is best known for a series of hits in the 1960's and 70's, as well as hosting a variety show called The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour. During his 50 years in show business, Campbell released more than 70 albums and made history by winning five Grammys in both the country and pop categories. Some of Campbell's hits include "Rhinestone Cowboy," "Gentle on My Mind," "By the Time I Get To Phoenix," "Galveston," and "Southern Nights."
In 2005, Campbell’s storied career added another notch to its belt when he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. During the 2012 Grammy Awards Ceremony, the child of an Arkansas sharecropper received a Lifetime Achievement award, bringing his Grammy total to six.

Due to popular demand, a second Riverdance performance has been added when the internationally known dance group, presented by Wabash Valley Music Association, arrives in Wabash. The two performances are scheduled for Thurs., March 22 at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Few shows have touched audiences like Riverdance. A celebration of Irish music, song and dance, the show focuses on the evolution of Irish dance and its similarities with, and influences on, other cultures. The phenomenon of Riverdance draws on Irish traditions and combines the richness of the music with the magic and sensuality of the dance.
Riverdance was originally conceived as a spectacular seven-minute intermission entertainment for the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest televised throughout Europe to an audience of over 300 million viewers. Following the success of that performance, producer Moya Doherty, composer Bill Whelan, and director John McColgan, expanded the piece into a full-length stage production.
Riverdance had its world premiere at the Point Theatre, Dublin, in February, 1995, where it opened to unanimous critical acclaim. The show has taken the world by storm and to date, over 22 million people world-wide have seen Riverdance live. In addition, 10 million people have purchased video versions of the show, making it one of the best-selling entertainment videos in the world.
Tickets for the 3 p.m. show go on sale Tues., Feb. 7 at 8 a.m. and are $25, $35, and $45. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Honeywell Center box office at (260) 563-1102 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday or by visiting www.honeywellcenter.org.
