Thursday, 06 Feb, 2008 0

 
After nearly three-years of darkness, the legendary Wheeling Jamboree will once again showcase country music talent on select Saturday nights beginning this spring.

According to Bob Cline of U.S. Tours the Grand Re-Opening is April 12, 2008 starring West Virginia’s own Kathy Mattea. Lee Greenwood follows on April 26 with the Oak Ridge Boys and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band performing in May.

With a fresh new logo and temporary home at the WesBanco Arena, The Wheeling Jamboree will continue with select stage shows and a live radio broadcast every Saturday night featuring an exciting lineup of country and bluegrass music entertainers.

The original Jamboree, begun in 1933, was broadcast as a live radio show on WWVA AM 1170 and reached into18 states and six Canadian provinces. With the cooperation and support from both WWVA and Clear Channel Radio, The Jamboree will once again broadcast shows live on Saturday nights. The Wheeling Jamboree Board is also in negotiation with XM Satellite Radio.
