Doobie Brothers to Headline Friday Night Concerts at 84 Lumber Classic

August 31, 2005 -- The Grammy Award winning Doobie Brothers will headline the Friday night concerts at the 2005 84 Lumber Classic. The Doobies replace Lynyrd Skynyrd, which canceled a series of September and October dates due to lead singer Johnnie Van Zant needing surgery for vocal chord polyps.

On Saturday evening, September 17, country superstar Lee Ann Womack takes the stage. Her latest release, "There's More Where That Came From," has received critical praise and has firmly entrenched her back on the charts as one of contemporary country music's most popular performers.

In 2002, she won an American Music Award for Favorite New Country Artist, as well as the Country Music Award. This was followed in 2003 by two Grammy Awards, one for Best Female Country Vocal Performer and the other
for Best Vocal Collaboration with Willie Nelson.

The PovertyNeck Hillbillies open on Friday evening for the Doobie Brothers, and on Saturday evening, the Crazy Cowboy Band will open for Lee Ann Womack.

Concerts are held on the Polo Field at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort with opening acts starting approximately one half hour after the official end of that days' round of the PGA TOUR 84 Lumber Classic. Admission to all 84
Lumber Classic concerts is free with a valid tournament ticket for that day's round.

Tickets to the 84 Lumber Classic are available at Dick's Sporting Goods, 84 Lumber Stores, Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, online at http://www.84lumberclassic.com, or by calling 1-877-GO-C-8484.
