The essence of the hit, a true classic; a father watches his daughter grow up, while viewing another man taking his daughter’s hand He thinks, "You love her now, but I loved her when she was only eight pounds"

Heartland, working with famed songwriter/producer Walt Aldridge, has produced a "potent" collection of songs.

Since this group has grown up together, it has allowed them time to develop a harmonized "flavor".

Talent, ambition, a great sense of humor - fans are connecting with this "clean-cut" group of young men who personify the best in America’s country lifestyle.

The band recently said, "If the good Lord blesses us enough to allow us to make a living out of it, that’s wonderful." "No matter where we are or what we’re doing, this is a true brotherhood."

Opener:  	Our warm up act, the regionally known Arizona Son, will get those feet "ah-stompin`"
