An entertaining full day of events will greet guests at Old Tucson Studios on Saturday, November 21, 2009 as “Arizona’s Hollywood in the Desert” marks its 70thAnniversary. A special concert by country music superstar Darryl Worley, sponsored by KiiM-FM, headlines the day’s events.

The historic movie location will open at 10 am with lots of family fun and entertainment. The Buffalo Soldiers of the Arizona Territory – Ladies and Gentlemen of the Regiment, Mesa, AZ will be hand and there will be a special 70th Anniversary Commemoration Ceremony followed by a performance by Tucson’s own Jessica Amerson. All year long, we have been commemorating our auspicious film history with a special retrospective exhibit of never-before-seen production stills covering 70 years of movie making. Be sure to visit the Lincoln County Courthouse to see this amazing exhibit. View a preview of the retrospective.
At 5:00 pm the gates to the Coors High Noon Arena will open for the concert and fireworks show. Darryl Worley’s latest album release is “Sounds like Life”.

Nine other Worley singles have reached the Top 40. The Gary Bonnett Band will open for Worley.

This past weekend I was lucky enough to catch Darryl Worley and this new country singer, Jessica Amerson at Old Tucson in Tucson, AZ. ?There’s no doubt in my mind that she could be one of the greatest up and coming singers in the country music scene. Although the venue was a little small, to me, it was just right for the new girl on the block, Jessica. I thought she was excellent. - Pollstar
This girl can sing!!!! Wow, what a set of pipes. She's cute, fun...an adorable performer. And great songs too! She's gonna be a chart topper soon!!!!! - Pollstar
