Nebraska State Fair Signs Crystal Gayle for Older Nebraskan’s Day

Crystal Gayle will be performing at the Older Nebraskan’s Day Festival at the Nebraska State Fair, Wednesday, August 31, at 11am and 3pm.
Crystal Gayle has been a favorite of audiences of country and popular music since attaining national prominence with her first chart record in the mid seventies. According to State Fair Special Events Coordinator Chelsey Jungck, “Crystal is best known for her timeless classics,  Don’t it Make My Brown Eyes Blue, You’ve Been Talking in Your Sleep, When I Dream, Half the Way and her duet with Eddie Rabbit, Just You and I. With over 21 Number One hits to her credit, she has been awarded numerous times by the Grammy’s, the County Music Association, the Academy of County Music and the American Music Awards.”
Jungck says, “Gayle will be performing two concerts this year, the first at 11am and the second at 3pm. We knew from our large crowds last year that one concert simply was not enough. Two concerts will hopefully provide every one an opportunity to enjoy Crystal Gayle.”
Crystal Gayle has released an album of standards called All My Tomorrows, has released two inspirational albums and is currently in the studio working on a new album. Gayle received her own star on the fabled Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2009.
Wristbands for Crystal Gayle do not include gate admission and will be available at the Heartland Events Center Box office on Wednesday, August 31 on a first come/first serve basis. Tour operators interested in securing tickets to the Gayle concert should contact Chelsey Jungck at 308.382.1710.
The Nebraska State Fair runs from August 26 through September 5 at Fonner Park in Grand Island, Nebraska.
