Tickets are now on sale for a special Forest Lake show by country music star Rockie Lynne at American Legion Post 225 at 6 p.m., Memorial Day, Monday, May 28.

Tickets are being sold for $15 each at the Legion Post, 355 W. Broadway Ave. For ticket information, call the Legion at 651-464-2600 or El Ewert at 651-260-5638.

Lynne, who lives in Coon Rapids, but hails from North Carolina, played as a sideman for other country artists for more than a decade before carving his own solo career.

He will perform songs from his breakthrough debut CD, “Rockie Lynne.”

The CD also contains a patriotic cut, “Red, White and Blue,” which talks about those who have given their all to make this land great.

Prior to signing a recording contract with Universal South Records, Lynne played as many as 300 one-night concerts a year at honky-tonks, bars and clubs while perfecting his craft as a singer, guitar player, song writer and live performer.

Beyond his musical career, Lynne is a co-founder and national spokesperson for the Tribute To The Troops program. The program is an organization that contributes thousands of dollars to needy troops returning from overseas duty.

As a clarification to information provided by the Legion for a story that was published on May 10, Lynne is not a founder of the Patriot Guard Riders. The Patriot Guard members work with the singer at some of his concerts and are dedicated to troop support, but Lynne is not a founder.

Ewert, a concert promoter, hopes to see a sell out for May 28 and encourages the public to buy tickets in advance.
