Super Country Star Clint Black to headline at Ridgefield Playhouse Gala

Ridgefield, CT, October 26, 2007 --(PR.com)-- It’s going to be a super star studded event on November 2nd at the Ridgefield Playhouse. In addition to the legendary country music star Clint Black—he of “Killin’ Time,” “Strong One” and “When I Say I Do” (with Lisa Hartman Black)—headlining the evening, the “Denim and Diamonds” fundraiser, which begins at 7 p.m. also includes an auction with some signed memorabilia of Playhouse performers over the past year, including guitars signed by Sean Lennon, Lindsay Buckingham, Keb’ Mo’ and Buddy Guy to name a few, as well as a Four Tops signed microphone and one of Clint Black’s black hats signed by Mr. Black himself. You can even get a sneak peak at some of these auction items, and a leg up on bidding by going online to ridgefieldplayhouse.org and clicking on the Auction 2007 link. The auction will continue the night of the event- but if you can’t attend the event and want to bid by proxy online, you can do that as well.

In addition to the great auction there will be food from Bernard’s and champagne from Cellar XV, plus a Meet and Greet prior to the performance, in a special VIP tent. With career sales over 18 million units—including nine platinum, one double platinum and three triple platinum albums—Clint Black is undeniably one of the elite male artists in country music today. Add in an astounding 32 Top 10 country hits and multiple CMA, ACM and Grammy Awards and Clint's stature as a country music superstar is clear. Culling 11 love songs from Clint's hit-filled career plus a new cover of Jim Croce's classic "I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song", his new album, “The Love Songs” is the perfect country soundtrack. Highlights on the album include two of his #1 singles, "When I Said I Do" and "Like The Rain". Other standouts here are three other Top 10 hits ("Something That We Do", "One Emotion" and "Half The Man"). But, he is even better—and more loving—on stage.
