Country music fans are in for a good time. Hitmaking country singer-songwriter Mark Chesnutt performs in concert Saturday at San Bernardino's historic Sturges Center for the Fine Arts.

The Texas native, known for his traditional country music style, will perform popular songs such as "Too Cold at Home," "Brother Jukebox," and "I'll Think of Something."

The 8 p.m. concert is a presentation of the City of San Bernardino Economic Development Agency.
Chesnutt, who received the Country Music Association Horizon Award and was named to Billboard's Top 10 Most Played Artists in the '90s, has had four platinum albums, five gold albums, more than 30 charted singles on the Billboard Hot Country chart, 23 Top 10 singles and 14 No. 1 hits.

Jason James, producing director at the Sturges, said the theater is thrilled to be welcoming the icon to the stage.

"We are always excited to have such quality performers here at the Sturges Center. Mark Chesnutt is an all-star country singer and we cannot wait to see him," James said.
