Jason Aldean's They Don't Know Tour hits Bossier City's CenturyLink Center Saturday night. The show was sold out, but they released a limited number of tickets earlier this week, but don't expect them to last long, if they're even still available now!

The Molly Ringwalds have been a staple party band for the Ark-La-Tex for as long as I can remember and they're bringing their twist on the 80's to Margaritaville Resort Casino's Paradise Theater Friday night at 7pm for another great show. 21+

Doors open at 7pm at the Stage at Silverstar in Bossier City Friday night for this 21+ show! Better Than Ezra hail from New Orleans and are always a crowd favorite with hits like Good, Desperately Wanting, King of New Orleans and Extra Ordinary.
