Here’s a quick look at what’s happening at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino, the state’s biggest tourist attraction that’s not far from Asheville:
Justin Moore concert: Moore’s first single, Back That Thing Up, was released and made it onto the country Top 40 charts. A second single, the autobiographically apt Small Town USA, was released in February 2009. It topped the charts and paved the way for his self-titled debut, Justin Moore, which became a Top 10 success. In 2011, Moore returned armed with other Top Ten country hits, Backwoods, and If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away, plus a second studio album, Outlaws Like Me. Justin Moore.
