The Farewell American Tour of country icon, Lee Greenwood, is coming to Highlands County on Friday, Jan. 24.

His stand-out hit, “God Bless the U.S.A.” has been in the top five on the country singles chart three times; the only song in any genre of music to achieve that feat. Known for his stand-out patriotism and support of the U. S. Military, Greenwood has been honored with the Congressional Medal of Honor and has entertained troops on over 30 USO tours.
Lee Greenwood’s performance is sponsored by Heartland Endodontics, Spiegel Chiropractic Clinic, Sharion Hudson/The Purple Iris Tea Room, MidFlorida Credit Union, Michele and Terry Heston, Drs. Vinod and Tarlika Thakkar, and Heartland National Bank.
