McCollum to perform at Starlight Ranch
Parker McCollum and William Beckmann make their way back to Amarillo on Friday, May 7 at Starlight Ranch, 1415 Sunrise Drive. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. The venue announced this week that extra tickets would be sold for this show.
McCollum comes from a no-nonsense, hard-working family. His was the sort of upbringing where “if you’re going to do something and you’re not going to do it one-hundred percent; you shouldn’t do it all.” It’s why this 27-year-old treats each song he writes with a painstaking level of dedication, reverence, and — as he readily admits — even a bit of obsession.
This is an all-ages, family-friendly show. Guests younger than 18 must be accompanied by an adult and masks are required by all guests upon entry.
For ticketing questions, email support@prekindle.com
Tickets for this show are $30 (plus fees) for general admission and $75 (plus fees) for VIP, which includes private viewing area and expedited seating.
Tickets may be purchased online at www.bigtexan.com/starlight-ranch-event-center/
