Country mega-star Dwight Yoakam kicked off his new partnership with The Bicycle Music Company with a special, impromptu performance at a reception in his honor. The event was held on June 28 at the Gibson Guitar Showroom on Civic Center Drive in Los Angeles. Bicycle recently acquired Yoakam’s seminal Coal Dust West Music catalogue, spanning nearly two decades of gold and platinum hits, including 11 BMI award-winning songs. Hosted by Bicycle, BMI and Gibson, the event drew a standing-room only, industry crowd. Yoakam performed for 40 minutes after being introduced by good friend and actor Vince Vaughn.
