STURGIS, S.D. – Country music star Darryl Worley is set to bring his patriotic catalog to Sturgis this summer as part of the Rally 86: Sturgis Salutes America concert series. Worley will perform at the Loud American on July 9, coinciding with national celebrations surrounding America 250.
The performance holds particular significance this year as the nation approaches the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks this coming fall. Worley, a platinum-selling artist, became a voice for American resilience following the release of his 2003 hit “Have You Forgotten?” The song spent seven weeks at the top of the charts and remains a staple of patriotic tributes across the country.
Over a career spanning more than two decades, Worley has secured nearly 20 hit singles. In addition to his 9/11 tribute, his chart-topping tracks include “I Miss My Friend” and the self-penned “Awful, Beautiful Life.”
The upcoming Sturgis appearance aligns with the seasonal theme of honoring the United States military and veterans. Beyond his musical achievements, Worley is recognized for his philanthropic efforts through the Darryl Worley Foundation and his consistent history of performing for service members stationed abroad.
Tickets for the July 9 show are currently available to the public through the venue’s website at loudamericansturgis.com.
Disclosure: The HomeSlice Group is the parent company of The Rapid City Post and primary marketing agency for the Loud American Sturgis.
