Adam Wainwright traded his baseball cap for a cowboy hat, and it’s a whole new ballgame for this rising country music star. Baseball fans know him for clutch pitching performances with the St. Louis Cardinals, where he was a three-time MLB All-Star and played a pivotal role in 2006 and 2011 World Series titles. Fans can now see a whole new side of Wainwright through his music. Songs on his first album reflect his personal journeys: as a father, a husband, and growing up in the South. Wainwright’s “Hey Y’all” debut album was released in 2024 and includes guidance and musical contributions from Grammy award-winning producer and songwriter Gary Baker.

Brett Young has captured the hearts of fans everywhere through his honest lyrics and West Coast-meets-Southern sound, aptly dubbed “Caliville” style. With an impressive string of seven No. 1 hits — “In Case You Didn’t Know,” 4-time platinum “Mercy,” “Sleep Without You,” “Like I Loved You,” “Here Tonight,” “Catch” and “Lady” — and multiple hit albums defined by an undeniable romantic spark, he has cemented his status as a master of matters of the heart. Brett’s lyrics from “Lady” also inspired his debut children’s book “Love You, Little Lady.”
One of only four modern country artists to have their first seven singles go No. 1, Young debuted atop the Billboard Country Albums chart with his gold-certified Ticket To L.A., while his platinum self-titled debut dominated the Top 20 on the Country Albums chart for 37 weeks. Young has been honored as ACM’s New Male Artist of the Year and ASCAP’s Country Songwriter-Artist of the Year and garnered nominations for Billboard, CMT and CMA Awards while continuing to amass nonstop hits as “one of country’s most consistent radio stars” as hailed by Rolling Stone.

Bret Michaels knows how to bring the party to the stage. He’s returning to French Lick Resort with Parti-Gras 2.0 — bigger, better and wilder with heavy metal icon Dee Snider. Get ready for a night of all killer hits by Poison and Twisted Sister.
Michaels rocked French Lick in February 2023 when he played the first sold-out show at the 2,500-seat Exhibition Hall. He’s back in 2025 and fans can expect, of course, “Nothin’ But a Good Time” with plenty more Poison fan favorites including “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” “Something to Believe In” and “Go That Far.” More than three decades after first taking the rock world by storm, a new generation of fans knows Bret from an array of television and film appearances — including the reality competition dating series Rock of Love and a first-place finish on NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice 3.
Snider is the voice behind “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “I Wanna Rock,” which remain enduring anthems of 80s rock. As the lead singer for Twisted Sister, there’s so much more to Dee Snider. He’s starred in reality TV shows including Celebrity Apprentice; MTV’s Rock The Cradle with his son Jesse; Growing Up Twisted, an A&E series featuring the entire Snider family and their Long Island lifestyle; and ABC’s Celebrity Wife Swap. He also starred in the hit Broadway musical Rock Of Ages and hosts his own long-running nationally syndicated radio show House Of Hair.

It’s a tradition of holiday giving that started on WDRB News in Louisville, Kentucky — and it’s branching out to French Lick Resort as we assist a small nonprofit making a big impact in our local community.
Join our effort to collect donations for Charlie’s Angels, an Orange County, Indiana charity dedicated to helping cancer patients and their families. Named in memory of Charlie Carnes who lost his battle with cancer in April 2011, Charlie’s Angels has helped hundreds of local families with access to vital treatments, assistance with bill payments, and providing dinners, gas cards, and other financial help to offset expenses of a cancer diagnosis.
100% of funds raised will benefit the Charlie’s Angels charity. You can donate online, or drop your gift in the donation box in front of French Lick Casino.
