Vietnam: Country Western Tour with Jesse Dayton
First Country and Western concerts make musical history in Vietnam
Jesse Dayton and his band raised the roof in Ho Chi Minh
City, Vung Tao, Haiphong and Hanoi! All concerts were greeted by full houses
who demanded encore after encore in Country music's Vietnam debut!
In addition to the sold out performances, the group gave
masterclasses in the Saigon and Hanoi Conservatories on May 10th and 16th for
approximately 100 students at each event.
For a genre of American music not heard live in Vietnam since
the pre-war era and relatively unknown except through recordings, the public
enthusiasm for and understanding of the genre was exceptional.
We thank our sponsors of this tour: The U.S. Embassy in Hanoi
and Consulate in Saigon, Johnson & Johnson, Nike, Hilton Hanoi and
Equatorial Hotel Saigon, Forever Living Products, Saigon Town and Country
Club, Petro House Hotel, Vung Tau, MM Entertainment and Goldsun Advertising.
Specials thanks also to the Union of Friendship Societies in Vung Tau, the
Saigon and Hanoi Conservatories and the Vietnam Ministry of Culture and
Information.
