Don will once again be the guest on Uncle Joe Benson’s syndicated radio program OFF THE RECORD coming up this Sunday, according to Uncle Joe’s latest Twitter.

Since Off the Record is broadcast independently by radio stations in the U.S. and Canada, exact program times and stations which provide internet streaming vary. Consult the OTR website for a suitable station. Our experience outside the U.S. has shown that you should test a couple of stations well in advance or else you might miss the show.

Don will appear at this year’s Minnesota State Fair, with two dates planned for Monday, August 29th and Tuesday, August 30th at the Fairgrounds in St. Paul.

Def Leppard, Heart and Toby Keith are among this year’s other entertainment headliners.

Update: Don’s show is included in the general admission pass

The BMW Pro-Am Charities presents an outdoor “Evening at the Hotel California” on Saturday, May 21, 2011 at Barnett Park in Spartanburg, SC. Don and the band’s performance is one of the events surrounding the BMW Charity Pro-Am golf tournament which will be played from May 19-22.

General admission tickets are $20/$25 day of the show. More info and where to get tickets here.
