Dwight Yoakam Plays Coachella and Stagecoach, inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame

January 31st 2008 in Americana, Country Music, Legends

What’s it mean to have cross-genre cred? Well you could do worse than the great Dwight Yoakam who will be the only artist performing at both the Coachella indie rock festival (April 24-26) and the Stagecoach country festival (May 3-4), both held in Indio, Calif.

As if that weren’t enough , Yoakam will appear in Lexington, Ky., on Feb. 21 to be inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame, along with Crystal Gayle, Florence Henderson, jazz musician Les McCann and producer Norro Wilson.

It seems Mr. Yoakam is helping out The Wrecker’s Michelle Branch on a song for her next album.
