Lainey Wilson, the Grammy-winning country music star and Baskin native, is performing at the Monroe Civic Center this weekend. These concerts are part of her “Country’s Cool Again Tour.” The shows mark the final stop on her tour and promise to feature her chart-topping hits. Discovery West Monroe CEO Alana Cooper says she’s excited for the stars return home.
“She’s definitely some body very well loved in this area and this community and we’re so proud to have her come in her and were excited to have her back home for a little bit.”
Cooper says both sold out shows will host a total of over 12-thousand Wilson fans, and that means the local economy will see a boost over the weekend as well.
“At this point, we’re hearing that we do have a lot of people who are traveling in and that our hotels are doing well. This is a great weekend to come in.”
Cooper says the Monroe Civic Center typically the arena hosts religious concerts or an upcoming rising star, and are thankful to have Wilson come back home and perform at the Civic.
“It’s really nice to have such good musicians out of our area that are doing do well in the Country genre.”
The Monroe Civic Center Arena doors open at 7:00 PM.
