Ronnie McDowell at The Center for Rural Development
2025-03-08 18:30 - 21:00 | The Center for Rural Development, 2292 S. Hwy 27, Somerset, KY, 42503, United States
Ronnie McDowell has an amazing string of hit songs that he has amassed over the years, but it is his riveting stage presence and genuine warmth that fills the seats again and again. Like all great entertainers, Ronnie McDowell has a personality that remains luminous long after the lights go dim. These qualities have inspired a nationwide network of fan-clubs with thousands of members, each one a devoted promoter of everything McDowell does.
Following the death of Elvis Presley in 1977, Ronnie McDowell came out of nowhere to dazzle the world with his heartfelt and self-penned tribute song “The King Is Gone” on the independent Scorpion label. The record took off immediately, gaining airplay on country and pop stations across the country and around the world. To date, “The King Is Gone” has sold more than 5 Million copies.
Ronnie McDowell charted a string of hit singles and albums for Epic between 1979 and 1986. Every single release with the exception of just one became a Top 10 Hit including the chart toppers “Older Women” and “You’re Gonna Ruin My Bad Reputation.” Other hits during his Epic years included “Watchin Girls Go By,” “Personally,” “You Made A Wanted Man Of Me,” “All Tied Up,” and “In A New York Minute.”
McDowell toured constantly to support each album release and consequently built an astounding fan base throughout the country. He sought the advice of artists such as Conway Twitty who became, in essence, not only his mentor but his friend as well. Twitty helped the young singer with advice about touring, recording and most of all entertaining the fans. Twitty was certainly the master and Ronnie McDowell quickly became his prize pupil.
While Elvis Presley has played a big part in Ronnie McDowell’s musical career over the years, Ronnie continues to entertain audiences with his own blend of romantic intimacy and country excitement! He looks great, he sounds great, and judging from the longtime adoration of his fans, he seems to grow better with each passing year!

ABOUT BOYS IN THE BAND:
In 1969 three cousins in Fort Payne, Alabama, joined their talents to create Down Home country music. Young Country became Wild Country who played for seven years as the house band in Myrtle Beach, SC, at a beachside bar called The Bowery. There they would change their name to Alabama, hit it big with their first number one record “Tennessee River”, and the rest is history. Boys in the Band also hail from Fort Payne, Alabama, and aim to give the Alabama experience to lifelong fans and introduce the younger generations to the magic of Alabama’s timeless music. The Alabama Tribute show is a high energy show with note for note renditions of Alabama’s live performances over their fifty year reign as the greatest country music group of all time.

There will never be another Alabama, but Boys in the Band aims to keep sharing the music and showmanship made famous by their small town heroes.

Chamber of Commerce April Luncheon
2025-04-01 12:00 - 13:00 | The Center for Rural Development, 2292 S. Hwy 27, Somerset, KY, 42503, United States
You’re cordially invited to attend our upcoming Chamber of Commerce monthly luncheon on Tuesday, April 1st.
We are excited to host Former Founder and CEO of Lexington Legends Baseball, Alan Stein as our guest speaker.
Alan Stein may be best known for bringing professional baseball back to Lexington in 2001 as the founder of the Lexington Legends, but he has a long list of interests and accomplishments.
As a student at the University of Kentucky, he led the Student Activities Board, and brought Jimmy Buffett, Bruce Springsteen and Harry Chapin to perform in the Student Center Grand Ballroom at UK in their pre-superstar days. (A ticket for the Buffett show November 2, 1973 cost two dollars.)
Alan is a longtime business, education and public service leader in Lexington and Kentucky, and though he now refers to himself as “retired,” he remains very active in a variety of organizations, including the Fayette Education Foundation.
Alan’s work in baseball extended well beyond the Legends. He has been part of the ownership of teams in other cities, and has held numerous leadership positions in professional baseball. But first of all, he was a fan, and this conversation begins with his lifelong support of the Cincinnati Reds and trips to Crosley Field in the 1950s and 60s. It also covers the Legends’ story, the challenges, rewards, and fun of minor league baseball, his connections with some of baseball’s biggest names – and of course, the story behind those concerts at UK in the early 70s.
Lunch will be held at The Center for Rural Development and will begin promptly at 12:00 (Noon).
