Country-rock band Cross Canadian Ragweed will unite with the Turnpike Troubadours for a four-night run at Oklahoma State University’s Boone Pickens Stadium, marking the venue’s first concert event. Taking place April 10–13, the stint will also include performances by The Great Divide, Mike McClure Band, Stoney LaRue and Jason Boland & The Stragglers.

The group released a total of 10 albums from 1998 until 2010, and toured with ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Sammy Hagar, Jonny Lang, Robert Earl Keen and Dierks Bentley. Additionally, their music has been featured in commercials, television shows and films.

“The thing that sticks out the most to me about Ragweed was all the people that we met. People that I’m still friends with, from Portland, Oregon, to Ybor City, Florida and from New York to San Diego. That’s why there’s a part of me that never wants to quit doing this. I’m nostalgic for that. I think that everybody should have a little nostalgia in their life,” says Cody Canada of Cross Canadian Ragweed. “So, let’s get together, and let’s make sure that we sound really good and let’s make people smile. Let’s make ourselves smile, and let’s make McClure and Jason and Stoney and the Turnpike boys smile too.”

He adds, “I knew people wanted a reunion. I had no idea it would be this big. I’m beside myself with all of this love. We won’t disappoint you.”

“We are excited to bring the first-ever concert to Boone Pickens Stadium this spring and look forward to hosting this fantastic Oklahoma-based lineup in the home of the Cowboys,” expresses Chad Weiberg, Director of Athletics for Oklahoma State University. “We are grateful to the team at Doussan Music Group for helping make this happen. This show will benefit OSU’s NIL efforts, and will also be a great event for our student-athletes, student body, alumni, fans and the community of Stillwater.”

“I’ve been in the business for 31 years. I’ve been part of some major projects, and I have never witnessed anything like this before, and the show is still six and half months away,” shares Russell Doussan, President of Doussan Music Group. “I was part of the Guns N’ Roses reunion tour, I did their stadium show in New Orleans, and this is beyond that.”
