Merle Haggard announces summer shows with Kris Kristofferson

Country legend Merle Haggard will be on the road much of the year touring in support of his latest album Working in Tennessee. A few of the shows will also feature country icon Kris Kristofferson, and the Triangle was lucky enough to land one of the gigs.

The pair will play the Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary on Tuesday, August 7. Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 18, via Etix for $39.50 or $59.50.

Check out the duo performing the Haggard classic "Mama Tried" below. The video is out of focus, but it sounds fantastic.
