Alabama, Tracy Lawrence open tour on Friday at Simmons Bank Arena
Alabama — the band, not the state or the football team — along with opening act Tracy Lawrence, performs at 7 p.m. Friday at Simmons Bank Arena, Interstate 30 and East Broadway, North Little Rock. Tickets range from $35 to $129.50, available at the arena box office or at ticketmaster.com
Alabama, formed in 1972, racked up more than 40 No. 1 singles and toured extensively before embarking on a farewell tour in 2003-’04. The group emerged again in 2011 to do a benefit for tornado victims in their namesake state and released an album, “Southern Drawl,” in 2015.
Opening act Lawrence, who was born in Atlanta, Texas, and was raised in Foreman (Little River County), began performing at 15. He has released 14 studio albums and has had eight No. 1 hits since his 1991 debut. Foreman has named a street in honor of Lawrence, and for a number of years, Lawrence held an annual concert in Foreman to benefit a foundation that supports education for local children.
