WEST SILOAM SPRINGS, Okla. — Multiplatinum country icon Neal McCoy is making his return to SEVEN Bar inside Cherokee Casino & Hotel West Siloam Springs on Wednesday, Nov. 27, at 8 p.m.
The show is free and open to the public ages 21 and up.
With a career spanning nearly four decades, McCoy has made a name for himself as one of America’s country music greats, although he grew up singing in local gospel choirs and listening to a variety of styles outside of country music, including swing, rock, disco and R&B. Debuting in 1990, McCoy quickly became known for his energetic and engaging live performances, steadily accruing a loyal fanbase that surged with his breakthrough album, “No Doubt About It,” in 1994. The platinum album produced two No. 1 country hits, the self-titled track and “Wink.”
McCoy released his fourth studio album, “You Gotta Love That,” in 1995, his second to receive platinum certification. McCoy’s impressive discography includes 15 career albums – three platinum and one gold – 25 charted singles, five No. 1 singles and five Top 10 hits, and he has sold over 6 million records. He was named Entertainer of the Year twice, earned TNN/Music City News Country Awards’ Video of the Year for “Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye” and CMT’s Top 10 Video of the Year for “The Shake.” In 2009, McCoy was inducted into the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame.
While his passion for music runs deep, his humanitarian efforts have always been a throughline. Together with his wife, Melinda, the pair founded the East Texas Angel Network (ETAN) in 1995 to provide financial assistance to families with children suffering from serious illnesses. The organization has raised more than $8 million since its inception. A supporter of our troops, McCoy has also performed 17 USO tours around the world since 2001.
In addition to his credits as a musician, McCoy has been honored to receive numerous humanitarian awards, including the 2005 ACM/Home Depot Humanitarian Award, the 2006 Country Radio Broadcasters Humanitarian of the Year Award, and the Masonic Grand Lodge’s W. B. and Brandon Carrell Humanitarian Award in 2007.
