If you are an Alan Jackson fan, you won’t want to miss Doug Brewin’s tribute to the country star at the Carbon County Fair.
Brewin was born into a musical family. “My mother taught music and my sister is a music teacher, and I learned to play the trombone and the guitar,” he said.
Although he liked music, he studied graphics in college.
After graduation he remained involved in music, but when the pandemic hit most entertainment places were shut down. That’s when he started a graphics business.
It was successful, but music was still a large part of his life.
Since 2004, he’s been doing an Alan Jackson tribute. Many people told him he looked and sounded just like Alan Jackson so he decided to put together the tribute show.
“My goal is to provide a fun, entertaining Alan Jackson tribute that is an accurate representation both visually and musically. I try to be as detailed as possible in creating the look and sound of AJ, and most importantly respectful to Alan’s music,” he said.
“For people who love country music and Alan Jackson, it’s one big celebration. For those few who are unfamiliar with it, it’s an amazing discovery. They love it too. Alan’s songs are just that incredible,” he said.
He performs as Jackson in the Las Vegas based review Legends In Concert and he continues to appear, write and record country music with his own band, Late Nite Rodeo. His band will also be performing with him at the fair
Brewin’s wife Jo-Anne often travels and performs with him and will be performing at the Carbon County Fair. She has traveled worldwide with her ABBA production for 17 years.
Brewin will perform at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. Tuesday on the Main Stage.
