The stars are aligning for the McGladrey Classic, and they won't all be on the greens. They will also be on stage. The Davis Love Foundation's golf tournament - Oct. 15-21 - will host country music singer Gary Allan at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 17. The PGA event is building on the tradition of bringing in popular performers for a concert. Last year, that was Darius Rucker. Allan first entered the scene in 1996 with "Her Man" which peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard charts. Following that, he produced four No. 1 hits. His popular tunes include titles like "Smoke Rings in the Dark" and "Best I Ever Had." This will be his first performance in the area. Tournament director Scott Reid is excited to offer this caliber of entertainment. "This is a way to continue to provide our community and visitors with an incredible week-long experience," Reid said in a prepared statement. "This special concert will help us reach our goal of raising a significant amount of money for Special Olympics, Boys and Girls Clubs of Southeast Georgia and other area children and family charities." The McGladrey Classic will be held at the Sea Island Golf Club, 100 Retreat Ave., St. Simons Island. Tickets to the tournament and to the Live Under the Oaks concert, presented by Southeast Georgia Health System, can be purchased online beginning today at www.mcgladreyclassic.com.
