Lee GreenWOOD Saturday, Feb 13 at 8 ($79 & $76) This award-winning God Bless The USA singer/songwriter also won distinction for country hits like I.O.U. Ring on Her Finger, Time on Her Hands, Hearts Aren't Made To Break (They're Made To Love), It Turns Me Inside Out, Somebody's Gonna Love You). He appears at the Spencer with his multi-instrumental band and songs of pride, love and beauty.

Lee Greenwood will always be recognized for his mega-hit God Bless the USA, possibly the most patriotic song of the second half of the 20th century and without question, the most ubiquitous since the events of September 2001. The country-tinged ballad, for which he won a host of Country Music Association awards following its release in 1985 - long before he sang it for rescue workers from atop the rubble of the World Trade Center - has actually surpassed in popularity both God Bless America and the National Anthem. Yet God Bless The USA is just one of the many hits that define this prolific artist's successful career.

For most of his fans, Greenwood is at his best when singing his popular repertoire of romantic songs, most all of which are chock-full of sentimental, heartbreaking lyrics. His songs suggest he has been deeply hurt by love, but will never be disbelieving or wary of love. Rather, Greenwood is forever hopeful about the lasting powers of love and its uplifting supremacy in all aspects of life.
That's a good thing to believe!

With his sandy, Kenny Rogers-esque vocals and inspirational delivery, Greenwood's greatest hits can bring out the romantic in the hardest hearts!

His ever-popular country-pop classics, which have kept him as a regular on play lists since the early 1980's, include such tear-jerkers as I.O.U, Ring on Her Finger, Time on Her Hands, She's Lyin', I Don't Mind The Thorns (If You're The Rose) Fool's Gold, I Still Believe, Hearts Aren't Made To Break (They're Made To Love) and the upbeat ballads like Dixie Road and You've Got A Good Love Comin', Holdin' A Good Hand/We've Got It Made.

Greenwood will share these favorites in concert with his multi-instrumental band at the acoustically supreme Spencer Theater on Valentine's Eve, 8 p.m. Saturday, February 13. Excellent seats ($79 & $76) are available for this one-night-only country music sensation! Call the Spencer Box Office at 575.336.4800 or go online to www.spencertheater.com for tickets today!
