Clay Walker and BlackHawk close a West Texas run at the Civic Center on Feb. 13

Two '90s country radio staples play the Amarillo Civic Center Auditorium on a Saturday night in February, the third stop in three nights across West Texas.

It's a three-night swing through West Texas: Midland on Thursday, Lubbock on Friday, then Amarillo. Clay Walker and BlackHawk end that run at the Amarillo Civic Center Auditorium on Saturday, Feb. 13, 2027, at 7 p.m., the night before Valentine's Day.

The Amarillo show is listed on Panhandle Tickets, the Civic Center's official ticketing platform, and on Ticketmaster. 101.9 The Bull reports that tickets are already on sale. If you'd rather skip the online fees, the Civic Center box office is at Entrance 1 on the west side, open Monday through Saturday from noon to 6 p.m., and takes calls at (806) 378-3096, according to the Civic Center's box office page.

The two acts are touring together this winter. They play Midland's Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center on Feb. 11, then Buddy Holly Hall in Lubbock on Feb. 12, before driving up I-27 to Amarillo. Earlier dates on the same pairing include Casper, Wyoming, in January. For Panhandle fans, it's the closest stop on the run without a drive to Lubbock.

Walker is a Texan, which helps. He came out of Beaumont, where producer James Stroud flew in to see him play before signing him to Giant Records, as his Wikipedia biography tells it. His first two singles in 1993 both went to No. 1. By Billboard's count he has six Hot Country No. 1s, among them "What's It to You," "Live Until I Die," "Dreaming with My Eyes Open," "If I Could Make a Living," "This Woman and This Man" and "Rumor Has It." His own site counts more, using a wider measure. Either way, that's a set list most of the room will already know.

BlackHawk is more than a warmup act. The band's 1994 self-titled debut produced five top 40 country hits, its follow-up *Strong Enough* added two more top 10s, and "I'm Not Strong Enough to Say No" reached No. 2 on the U.S. country chart, according to the BlackHawk discography. Several venues on this tour, Amarillo among them, list the two acts together rather than as headliner and opener.

The room suits a show like this. The Civic Center's auditorium is a raked, 2,300-seat proscenium theater with no balcony, entered at the southwest corner of the complex through Entrance 12. With no balcony, even the back rows are on the main floor and facing the stage.

Get tickets now, book dinner downtown and bring a date: this is the Saturday before Valentine's Day.
