The no-frills, quiet affair of Merle Haggard’s funeral service on Saturday (April 9) suited the legend's matter-of-fact, stripped-down approach to life.
Today is the final day of the 2015 Minnesota State Fair, and it will be another big night of country music on the grandstand stage -- with Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson set to perform. Carrie Underwood, Alan Jackson, and Keith Urban have already wowed State Fair grandstand crowds. $35 tickets are still available for tonight's show.
