Wendell Mobley—Known for chart-toppers like “How Country Feels” by Randy Houser and “There Goes My Life” by Kenny Chesney, Mobley’s songwriting prowess has made him a favourite among country music fans.
The exclusive music event will offer a unique opportunity to hear these legendary artists perform their hits acoustically and share the personal stories behind the songs. Billed as more than a concert, it will be an immersive experience that brings you closer to the music you love.
