Aug. 1—ALBANY — How about a little bit of country and a little bit of animation brought to life?

Officials with the Flint River Entertainment Complex announced Monday that tickets will go on sale Friday for shows by country music star Tracy Lawrence and kids favorite "Peppa Pig Live! Peppa Pig's Adventure."

The performance by Lawrence, brought to Albany by Six String Southern Productions and the Oak View Group, is scheduled for Oct. 20 at the Veterans Park Amphitheatre, while Peppa's big adventure is scheduled for Nov. 11.

Tickets for Lawrence's performance will be general admission standing and cost $35. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. at Ticketmaster.com and the Georgia's Own Credit Union Box Office located at the Albany Civic Center. Opening support will be local musician Riley Anderson.

A limited amount of chairs will be available for rent on a first-come, first-served basis for $5 cash. In the event of inclement weather, the show will be moved indoors to the Albany Civic Center.

Lawrence is a country music traditionalist who this year is celebrating his 30th anniversary in the industry. His catalog of music has made Lawrence a mainstay in the genre, as he's sold more than 13 million albums and recorded 18 No. 1 songs. He has garnered several CMA and ACM awards and nominations, as well as a Grammy nomination.

In addition to his chart-topping success, Lawrence hosts the Award-Nominated nationally syndicated radio show "Honky Tonkin' With Tracy Lawrence," for which he has received two ACM nominations for National On-Air Personality of the Year. The show features music from the '80s, '90s and 2000s and is heard on more than 115 affiliates. Lawrence also is the co-creator of "Storming Heaven: The Musical," a production based on the novel "Storming Heaven."

The singer was honored by the Nashville chapter of AFP (Association of Fundraising Professionals) as "Philanthropist of The Year" for his nationally recognized annual "Mission:Possible" Turkey Fry and Concert, which has raised more than a half-million dollars for the homeless and hungry in Dallas, Louisville and Nashville, and served more than 84,000 meals.
