WEST SILOAM SPRINGS, Okla. (July 9, 2026) — Cherokee Casino & Hotel West Siloam Springs will welcome acclaimed Texas Red Dirt star Casey Donahew at 8 p.m. Friday, July 24, at SEVEN Bar inside the casino.

A cornerstone of Texas country music for more than 20 years, Donahew has built a devoted following through honest storytelling, memorable songwriting and an unstoppable connection with his fans. The Fort Worth, Texas, native has become one of the genre’s most recognizable independent artists, earning 27 No. 1 singles on the Texas charts while consistently drawing crowds across the country.

Donahew’s latest album, “Never Not Love You,” showcases the songwriting that has defined his career. The 17-track collection explores themes of love, heartbreak, cowboy culture and everyday life through vivid characters and relatable stories. Known for crafting songs that range from lighthearted anthems to deeply emotional ballads, Donahew continues to balance humor, authenticity and heartfelt reflection throughout the project.

Over the course of his career, Donahew has remained committed to writing music on his own terms, penning much of his catalog himself and relying on personal experiences as inspiration. His ability to connect with listeners through both spirited crowd favorites and introspective songs has helped establish him as a star in the Texas and Red Dirt music scenes.

In addition to his success on the charts, Donahew is the co-creator of the popular Boots on the Beach music festival in Cabo San Lucas, which attracts fans and artists from across the country. He has also gained national exposure through song placements in television and film projects, including “Yellowstone,” “Tulsa King” and the feature film “Vengeance.”

Whether performing fan favorites or introducing new material, Donahew continues to bring the same dedication to his craft that has fueled a career spanning more than two decades. His live shows remain a celebration of the songs and stories that have made him one of Texas country’s most enduring and beloved performers.

The show is free to those 21 and older.
