Chadron State College has added country music artist Chris Cagle to its list of homecoming entertainment.

Tickets went on sale in late September for Cagle’s concert, which is scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 23. The concert has moved to the Nelson Physical Activity Center from its originally scheduled location, the college's practice fields.

Shellie Johns, who leads the committee for CSC’s Galaxy Series of fine arts and cultural events, is encouraging college students and employees to reserve their free tickets through the CSC Box Office before the allotted 900 seats sell out.

Cagle has had many hits since signing with a major record label in 2000. Songs that have reached the top five in the charts are “I Breathe In, I Breathe Out,” “What a Beautiful Day,” “Chicks Dig It” and “What Kinda Gone.”

The concert will help CSC kick off its year-long centennial celebration homecoming weekend. Johns said two Galaxy Series subcommittees pooled budget resources to sign Cagle after his name was chosen from a four-page list of acts brought forward by students of CSC’s Campus Activities Board.

Cagle isn’t the first big name Nashville recording artist to appear on CSC’s campus. In the 1990s, students arranged concerts by Sawyer Brown, Martina McBride and Chris LeDoux.
