Live on the Plaza: Liz & the Grand Tour
Band plays over 70 years of country hits!
Liz & The Grand Tour features song selections from more than 70 years of country music. We honor the iconic songs and artists from every decade from 1950 through 2020. Their show features country hits by iconic artists including Hank Williams, George Jones, Patsy Cline, Merle Haggard, Emmylou Harris, Alan Jackson, Trisha Yearwood, George Strait, Loretta Lynn and many more. Part concert, a bit of Opry, and a pinch of theater, Liz & The Grand Tour offers a "road trip" through the great canon of country music.
