KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. - Robin Schwartz puts the “R” in Rogers on Oct. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd @ 7:30 PM at the Ross Ragland Theater. Schwartz will swoon you with Kenny Rogers' greatest hits as a solo country star and as a 60’s protest rocker with his band “Kenny Rogers and the First Edition.” From “Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love to Town”, and “I Just Dropped In”; to his iconic country hits “The Gambler” and “Lucille.

The band includes local legends Marv Strom on guitar, Paul Walborn on bass, Devin Walden on drums, David Huckins on keys, and Schwartz’s long-time performance partner Greg Dunton on guitar, with a surprise or two up his sleeve. A special guest appearance will be made by renowned local folk singer Bonnie Hay. Bonnie will be performing a couple of duets with Schwartz as well as a song of her own.

This show was originally scheduled for May but was canceled due to COVID-19. In the interim, Mr. Rogers passed away, making this tribute show even more poignant.

Schwartz's other shows have included tributes to Tony Bennett and Neil Diamond, and, with Dunton, The Smothers Brothers, Simon and Garfunkle, and numerous other musical/comedy revues. They adhere to a formula that always includes quality music, humor, and audience participation.

Tickets are $20.00 with Student, Senior and Military discounts available and can be purchased at rrtheater.org, by calling 884-LIVE or stopping by our Box Office Monday through Friday from 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM.
