Cirque du Soleil's first country-themed show is coming to Baltimore! The Hippodrome Theater is hosting the high-flying production with acrobatics and aerial acts. 'Songblazers' pays tribute to country music legends and rising stars in the industry. There's 29 artists from 13 countries performing dozens of well-known songs from 1857 to some newer hits. Between the eye-catching acts, there's a story of two musicians coming together to take a journey through country music.

"We end up at an old barn dance; we're singing a few different songs trying to make the perfect song," says Steve Ray Ladson, vocalist and banjo player. "We get a little carried away; we got a little superstar thing going on, but it all goes back to humble beginnings."

"Some of the songs, I don't want to give away the big ones, but achy breaky heart, wagon wheel, Tennessee whiskey," says Laura-Ann Chong of the Cirque du Soleil entertainment group. "There's a whole mashup section in the show. It's such a fun time."

The production runs from December 20th through the 29th. Get your tickets here.
