Bits & Pieces
Doug Stone Concert
January 13, 2023 * 7:00 PM * Dothan Opera House
Doug Stone found his mark in music as a lonesome baritone balladeer, although he was very adept at hard-up-tempo country. Doug began at age five learning guitar from his mother an avid singer and guitarist. At age seven he was given the opportunity, by his mother, to open for Loretta Lynn. Now in 2022- 32 years, 8 #1 singles, 15 top 10 singles, and over 10 million album sales later, the singer of timeless country hits like “A Jukebox with a Country Song” & “In a Different Light” is still running the roads performing to dedicated fans across the nation. Sharing his testimony of a close relationship with the Lord after several years of alcohol abuse, a nearly 5 years sober Stone is at the top of his game once again.
