WABASH – WWKI Welcomes Grammy-winning country music superstar Trisha Yearwood, whose hits include “She’s In Love With The Boy,” “Walkaway Joe” and “How Can I Live,” to the Honeywell Center at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 2. The concert, on the singer’s first tour in five years, is sponsored by Arnold’s Fine Jewelry and Gifts; Metronet is the associate sponsor.

Since Yearwood’s debut album in 1991, the Grand Ole Opry member has recorded 12 albums and achieved 20 Top 10 singles, including nine No. 1 hits. In addition to three Grammy awards, Yearwood has won three Country Music Awards and two Academy of Country Music Awards.

Yearwood, one of the highest-selling female artists in country music history, also is a New York Times best-selling author and hosts her own cooking show on the Food Network. In 2008, the singer-turned-celebrity cook released “Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen,” followed by 2010’s “Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood. The success of both books led to Yearwood’s 2012 debut on the Food Network with “Trisha’s Southern Kitchen,” which won a 2013 Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Culinary Program and is currently in its fourth season.

Although she is now a Food Network star, Yearwood will focus only on her singing talents during her Wabash show, as she performs a full band concert of her top hits during the 18-city U.S. tour.
“I really have a special place in my heart for theaters and intimate shows,” Yearwood said in a recent People magazine article.

Because Yearwood isn’t going to be promoting any new material, fans should expect to hear her core hit songs, a few fun ones that are unexpected, and some interesting covers, according to the article.
“I can’t say what they are!” she teased, “but we’re just having fun, so we’re picking songs we know we’ll have a good time with.”

Tickets: $100, $69, $49 and $29. Tickets may be purchased at the box office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, by calling (260) 563-1102 or visiting www.honeywellcenter.org.
