The Ledge Amphitheater Wraps Up Concert Series with a Bang [GALLERY]

WAITE PARK (WJON News) -- It was a perfect night to close out the concert season at the Ledge Amphitheater Thursday night. Tracy Lawrence and Josh Turner took the stage at the Waite Park venue and didn't disappoint. The night started out with a surprise. Local artist Tammy Jo took the stage first and performed a variety of country and pop covers.

Josh Turner came on next and got things going with his songs "Whirlwind" and "Firecracker." He spoke with fans a lot during the show. He told a great story about how he recently got to play his song "Unsung Hero" on the "Today" show on Memorial Day and on the White House lawn on the Fourth of July, and then played the tune for the crowd. Turner played for just over an hour.

After a short intermission it was time for Tracy Lawrence. Lawrence opened with "Made in America" and "Only the Good Die Young." He told the crowd he was going to blow out his voice for them and play a lot of stuff from the 90s. Lawrence did a nice mix of ballads and upbeat numbers. He also performed a great medley of covers that included Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler" and the Charles Daniel's Band's "The Devil Went Down to Georgia."

It was a perfect night for great music with temperatures in the low 70s even after the sun went down. The Ledge will close out its 2025 season in full on October 4th with LEDGEtober Flannel Fest. Check out a photo gallery from the concert below.
