Country megastar Jamey Johnson will hit the stage for a two-night stand Sept. 20-21 at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort.

Born in Alabama, Johnson set his sights on music after seeing his idol Alan Jackson perform live in concert.

After eight years of service in the U.S. Marine Corps, he moved to Nashville and began writing songs and performing in small clubs.

As a songwriter, Johnson has penned No. 1 hits for artists like Trace Adkins and George Strait, but it’s his award-winning solo material that has earned him his latest batch of honors. His fourth studio album, 2012’s “Living For A Song: A Tribute to Hank Cochran,” peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200, garnering praise from critics and a Grammy nomination for “Best Country Album.”

Tickets start at $31 per person. For more information and/or to buy tickets, go to caesars.com/harrahs-cherokee.
