The historic Hemphill Little Theatre is setting the stage for an unforgettable night of music and community spirit this June. If you love classic country melodies and uplifting gospel harmonies, the upcoming Sabine County Hayride Concert is the perfect addition to your lake-country itinerary. There is nothing quite like a summer evening at Toledo Bend, where a day of lakeside fun blends seamlessly into a night of local culture and small-town hospitality right in the heart of Hemphill.
The Sounds of the Sabine County Hayride
Taking place for one day only on Saturday, June 6th, this special concert brings together some of the finest vocal talents in the region. The lineup features crowd favorites including Erin Watson, Cathy Ladner, Angela Wood, Jimmy Simmons, Matthew and Charles Watson, and Randy Tomlinson. Backing these incredible vocalists is a powerhouse live band featuring Rick Hatton on bass, John Brewton on drums, Rebekah Norwood on keyboards, Randy Tomlinson on rhythm guitar, and Jimmy Simmons on lead guitar.
The experience of stepping into the Hemphill Little Theatre is simple, genuine, and full of historic character. It’s about more than just a performance; it’s a revival of traditional sounds that have shaped the community for generations. What guests often remember most is the incredible acoustics, the nostalgic atmosphere, and the friendly faces of the locals working hard to keep the arts alive in Sabine County.
Support Local Arts and Culture
There is something quietly meaningful about a fundraiser that brings people together through song. Every ticket purchased for the Sabine County Hayride is a direct investment in the preservation of the Hemphill Little Theatre. For guests staying at Mid Lake Campground, catching a show is a fantastic way to transition from a relaxing morning of fishing or boating to a vibrant evening of entertainment. A short drive into town for the concert offers a refreshing change of pace and a chance to witness the local community spirit in full swing.
The Hemphill Little Theatre makes it easy to feel like part of the story. Whether you are a regular visitor to the Bend or this is your first time exploring the area, supporting this local tradition makes you feel right at home. It is a rare chance to slow down, enjoy a pro-level live band, and support a winning cultural tradition in a way that feels completely authentic and unfiltered.
