Tanya Tucker: A Defining Voice of Country Music
Set to Close Out Central States Fair August 23, 2025
The Central States Fair is proud to announce a legendary addition to its 2025 Black Hills Energy Concert Series lineup Edgy. Classic. Country. A modern-day legend and a two-time 2020 GRAMMY® winner, Tanya Tucker continues to inspire generations of artists with her unmistakable voice and fearless spirit. In 2023, she was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, cementing her place among the greatest icons in country music history.
Born in Seminole, Texas, Tanya burst onto the scene at just 13 years old with her first hit, the now-classic “Delta Dawn” in 1972. Since then, she has amassed 23 Top 40 albums and an incredible 56 Top 40 singles, including 10 No. 1 hits on the Billboard country charts. Her timeless songs include “Soon,” “Two Sparrows in a Hurricane,” “It’s a Little Too Late,” “Trouble,” “Texas (When I Die),” “If It Don’t Come Easy,” “Strong Enough to Bend”, and many more.
Tanya’s career is decorated with numerous accolades, including two CMAs, two ACMs, and three CMT Awards. In 2020, she won two GRAMMY® Awards for Best Country Album (While I’m Livin’) and Best Country Song (Bring My Flowers Now). That same year, Fantasy Records released Tanya Tucker – Live From The Troubadour, capturing her historic, standing-room-only performance at the legendary venue.
Her remarkable career resurgence was the subject of the 2022 Sony Pictures Classics documentary, The Return of Tanya Tucker, Featuring Brandi Carlile, which The New York Times praised for showcasing her enduring talent and emotional depth. The following year, she made her acting debut in the Paramount original film, A Nashville Country Christmas, starring alongside Academy Award® winner Keith Carradine.
Beyond music, Tanya has left her mark in the world of spirits with Tanya Tucker’s Cosa Salvaje Tequila, now available in the U.S. states and Canada, with expansion growing daily. To order, visit CosaSalvajeTequila.com.
“It’s not every day we get to bring a living legend to the Black Hills,” said Central States Fair General Manager Ron Jeffries. “Tanya Tucker has blazed trails in country music, and having her close out our concert series is truly the cherry on top of an incredible week of entertainment.”
Tickets go on sale June 2, 2025 at CentralStatesFair.com. Fair dates are August 15–23, 2025, and Tanya’s performance marks the grand finale of nine nights of nonstop entertainment.
