UPDATE: With the Melbourne Bearkatz participating in the state football playoffs, the Heath Sanders performance has been rescheduled for Jan. 21.
Rising country music star Heath Sanders will perform a live acoustic show at Ozarka College in Melbourne on Friday, Nov. 11. (See above. The rescheduled date is Jan. 21.)
Sanders, who was named a Pandora Country Artist to Watch in 2021, is a former oilfield worker from Marshall, Ark. Sanders rose to fame after an appearance on the syndicated Bobby Bones radio program in 2018. He records for the Big Machine imprint label, The Valory Music Co., and earlier this year, released a song with Justin Moore entitled “Raised on Red.”
“Drawing upon a lifetime of early mornings and long days, Heath emerges as the new voice of folks who identify with hard work and the blue-collar way of life,” an Ozarka Foundation rep said in a media release.
Sanders will perform at the John E. Miller Auditorium on the Ozarka campus beginning at 7 p.m. Proceeds will benefit the Ozarka College Foundation to support student scholarships.
Tickets are on sale for $25 online at OzarkaHeathSanders.eventbrite.com or at Townsend Spice & Supply located at 725 E. Main St. in Melbourne.
“Come out and enjoy this rare, must-see acoustic performance with up-and-coming country star, Heath Sanders,” said Shane Linn of Townsend Spice & Supply and an Ozarka Foundation board member. “We look for this to be one of Sanders’ last local and intimate shows before his draw goes nationwide.”
The Health Sanders concert is the second show slated for 2022 in the Ozarka Foundation Concert Series.
