Featuring Emmylou Harris & American Idol Finalist John Foster — Tickets Now Just $50
Friday, November 7 | 8 pm | The Riverdome at Horseshoe Casino & Hotel, Bossier City
Bossier City, LA — Time is running out to be part of a once-in-a-lifetime night of music and purpose! This Friday, legendary guitarist and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer James Burton will host a star-studded benefit concert featuring 14-time GRAMMY Award winner Emmylou Harris and American Idol Finalist John Foster. Tickets are just $50.
The concert takes place on Friday, November 7, 2025, at 8 pm inside the Horseshoe Riverdome in Bossier City. Doors open at 7 pm.
This year’s event focuses on supporting music programs for Bossier Parish schools through the donation of guitars — giving local students the gift of creativity and confidence through music. The Burton Foundation already provides guitars to Caddo Parish students and is now expanding its mission to Bossier Parish.
Joining Emmylou Harris on stage will be an all-star lineup, including:
John Foster, American Idol finalist
Johnny Owens and Marty Haggard, sons of country legends Buck Owens and Merle Haggard
Angus Gill, one of Australia’s top country artists and Golden Guitar winner
Kylie Small, a recent Haughton High School graduate and rising Nashville star
The evening’s house band — Louisiana Music Hall of Fame inductees Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs — will keep the energy high all night long.
