By Chris Tilley
The Center for Rural Development

Somerset, KY -- A country music showcase featuring four artists headlines a full night of entertainment this coming Saturday, November 15, 2025, at The Center for Rural Development's Cornelia Dozier Cooper Theatre in Somerset. A very modest ticket price of $30 allows music fans to see four singers bring their own unique sound of the ever-popular country genre to the main stage, including Steve Taylor, Logan Purcell, rising star Damon Spigle, and headliner John King.

Tickets for the event can be found by visiting www.CenterTech.com or by calling The Center's Box Office at (606) 677-6000. Tickets will also be available the night of the show.


Local artist Steve Taylor will take the stage from 6pmET until 6:30pmET. Taylor has opened for The Bellamy Brothers and Confederate Railroad at The Center over the last year. His cover songs have opened for local shows for the past 30 years.

Somerset's Logan Purcell will take to the stage from 6:40pmET until 7:20pmET. The 22-year-old has been singing and playing music for the last three years with "Dirty Floorboard" and "Ain't Right" being two of his hit songs.

Rising star Damon Spigle of Lincoln County will be the penultimate singer of the show from 7:30pmET to 8:15pmET. Spigle's young career has already blossomed into songwriting and singing. At just 17 years of age and a high school senior, Spigle not only has made his mark in local country music but also on the football field as a starting running back for the Lincoln County Patriots. Spigle has opened for Little Texas and Andy Griggs within the last year. Spigle's hit songs include "Hey Girl," "Never Go Back Again," "Why," "Every Heart Has A Story," "Wish You Back," "Take Me Out Of My Hometown," plus more.

Country music artist John King of Georgia headlines the night's show and has built a dual career as both a songwriter and a recording artist. He co-wrote the song, "We Went," recorded by Randy Houser, which reached No. 1 on the country charts and wrote "Rollin'" for Hootie & the Blowfish. As a country artist, King is known for songs like "Tonight, Tonight" (a Top 40 hit), "Always Gonna Be You," "Ain't Missing You," "Your Man," and "Easy." His current single, "Try Saying Goodbye," features heartfelt lyrics and infectious hooks that connect with fans everywhere.
