Main Street El Dorado and Murphy USA will present "An Evening with Richard Marx" with special guest Native Arkansan and former The Voice contestant Barrett Baber Friday, July 8 at the El Dorado Municipal Auditorium at 7:30PM. The concert will serve as the Grand Opening of the newly-renovated El Dorado facility.

As a performer, songwriter and producer, Richard Marx's nearly three-decade long career has had innumerable highlights. The Chicago native and Grammy award winner has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide. His mainstream success began with his self-titled debut, which spawned four #5 singles, including the chart-topping "Hold on to the Nights," with "Don’t Mean Nothing," earning him a Grammy nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.

The follow-up, 1989’s Repeat Offender, was even more successful, hitting #1 and going quadruple-platinum with two #1 singles in "Satisfied" and "Right Here Waiting." When both Rush Street (with two #1 hits in "Keep Coming Back" and "Hazard") and Paid Vacation (with its #1 hit Now and Forever) went platinum, Marx achieved a seven-year string of triumphs that rivaled any in pop-rock music history. To this day, he is the only male artist in history to have his first seven singles reach the Top 5 on the Billboard charts.

Across all formats, Marx has scored an amazing total of 14 #1 singles, including Keith Urban’s #1 smash "Long Hot Summer," both as a performer and songwriter/producer, making him a true multi-talented threat who continues to challenge himself and his fans. He holds the honor of being one of a handful of artist who has had a number one hit in each of the past four decades.

NBC’s The Voice finalist and Arkansas native Barrett Baber gave millions of viewers one of the most memorable introductions to a true artist and entertainer the show has ever seen. With commanding performance energy, Barrett owned the stage from round 1, and his unique, soulful country sound stood out among the entire show as something truly special.

Blake Shelton says, “Barrett sounds like no one else on country radio. He can be a superstar in country music.” Also winner of the national CBS Grammy Gig of a Lifetime in 2014, Barrett continues to deliver, wowing fans as well as the music industry.

Here is Baber's newly released single.
