Country music’s ‘Redneck Woman’ comes to Fantasy Springs
One of the biggest selling female
stars in the world of Country
Music today, Gretchen Wilson
makes her return to the desert as
Fantasy Springs Resort Casino welcomes her
back to the Special Events Center stage,
Saturday, Oct. 4 at 8pm.
Gretchen’s rise to the top of the Country
Music scene is unprecedented. Her most recent
single, “Don’t Do Me No Good,” from her
upcoming Sony CD release “I Got Your Country
Right Here” is currently gaining recognition on
Country radio.
Born in Pocahontas, Illinois in 1973,
Gretchen took to music as a young child, listening
to the radio and finding a liking for bands
like Heart, Led Zeppelin and even Patsy Cline.
These early influences have spilled over into her
live shows as she pays homage to these groups
with spectacular renditions of their classic hits.
An accomplished singer and songwriter,
Gretchen Wilson has paid her dues along the
way, playing in numerous dives and honky tonks,
all across the nation. It wasn’t until a chance
meeting with Country music star and songwriter,
John Rich (Big & Rich) in 2000 that Gretchen
would be given the chance to become his writing
partner. Wilson has released the multi-platinum
CDs “Here for the Party” in 2004, “All Jacked
Up” in 2005 and “One Of The Boys” in 2007.
Fans have taken to this authentic and genuine
“Redneck Woman,” buying millions of her CDs,
singles and her recent autobiography, “Redneck
Woman: Stories From My Life.”
Gretchen Wilson won the 2004 Grammy
Award for “Best Country Female Vocal
Performance” for “Redneck Woman” and
received several accolades from the Country
Music Association and the Academy of Country
Music.
