Country and country rock will combine Saturday night -- The Marshall Tucker Band will perform at 7 p.m. and Travis Tritt at 8 p.m. -- in Timberwood Amphitheater at Magic Springs Theme & Water Park in Hot Springs.

The Marshall Tucker Band has been around since 1972, becoming one of the foremost exponents of what came to be known as Southern rock. The band scored with its hit songs "Can't You See," "Heard It in a Love Song," "Take the Highway," "This Ol' Cowboy," "Fire on the Mountain" and "Searchin' for a Rainbow."

Of the original six-man band, lead singer Doug Gray is still a member.

Tritt, 54, launched his career in 1987 by recording demos, and moved up to being allowed to record his own song, "Country Club," two years later, with his second single, "Help Me Hold On," released in 1990, becoming his first No. 1 hit. He has gone on to record four more No. 1 hits: "Anymore," "Can I Trust You With My Heart," "Foolish Pride" and "Best of Intentions."

He has released 11 albums, the latest of which, The Calm After ... was released in 2013. He was named Billboard's Top New Male Artist in 1990 and has won two Grammy Awards, both for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals. He has also had roles in 24 movies or TV shows.
