U.S. Senate candidate Tom Cotton announced Friday his campaign will be hosting a free concert featuring country music star and Arkansas native Collin Raye. The concert will take place on October 12th at the Arkansas Convention Center in Texarkana. Cotton is inviting all Arkansas residents to attend the concert free of charge.
Raye, a native of DeQueen, Arkansas, has a successful career as one of country music's true hit makers. He has twenty-four top ten records, sixteen #1 hits, and is a ten time male vocalist of the year nominee.
Tom Cotton said, "We're excited to put on a great show for the people of Southwest Arkansas with DeQueen native Collin Raye. Collin is part of a great Arkansas tradition of entertainers and artists, and we're excited to continue using new and creative ways to spread our conservative message."
This is the second country concert Tom Cotton has sponsored this year. In July, Cotton hosted a concert in El Dorado with country music star Jo Dee Messina.
