Mississippi casino hosting Joe Diffie

BAY ST. LOUIS, Mississippi -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Grammy-award winner Joe Diffie will be performing live in concert at 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday, March 26 & 27 at Hollywood Casino Bay St. Louis.

His long list of hits include: "Pickup Man," "Home," "John Deere Green," "Third Rock from the Sun," "Prop Me Up Beside the Jukebox (If I Die)," "If The Devil Danced (In Empty Pockets)," "So Help Me Girl," "A Night to Remember," and many more.

Since he first topped the charts in 1990 with "Home ," Joe has remained on a steady course, staying true to his Oklahoma roots and delivering hit after hit totaling twelve #1's, twenty Top 10's; and four gold and platinum albums. When you attend a Joe Diffie concert, you're not waiting for him to sing his hit - you're waiting for him to sing your hit. Joe's music makes you remember where you were the first time you heard it.

Vern Gosdin, known as "the voice of country music," for more than forty years once described Joe Diffie as "the man with the golden voice." You know Joe. When you meet him, he's the guy you thought he'd be. When you hear him sing, you can feel the honesty in his words.

He's won a Grammy, CMA Awards, and has been honored as Humanitarian of the Year by the Country Music Broadcasters. He's a member of the Grand Ole Opry, recorded with George Jones, and toured the country numerous times. You would think that would be enough, but not for Joe Diffie.

Joe's journey to Nashville, Tennessee, began when a song he wrote called "Love on the Rocks" was recorded by country legend Hank Thompson. The taste of success lured Joe to move to Nashville where he really took his songwriting seriously and augmented his income by singing demos on music row. As his reputation as a demo singer burgeoned, it wasn't long before he caught the attention of music row's record executives and Joe was on his way to becoming the star he is today.

As a songwriter, Joe's success is equally impressive. In addition to the numerous hits he kept for himself, Joe's songs have been recorded by Holly Dunn, Tim McGraw, Tracy Lawrence, Conway Twitty, Doug Stone, and most recently Jo Dee Messina, who's recording of " My Give a Damn's Busted" became a big hit.

If you've ever been to a Joe Diffie concert, you don't need to be told what an energetic, hit-filled show he delivers. If you haven't seen Joe's live show, do yourself a favor and make sure you see him while he's performing at Hollywood Casino Bay St. Louis.
