IDAHO FALLS – The country singer behind 16 charted singles on the Billboard Country Charts is coming to eastern Idaho.
Mark Wills, whose 2002 single “19 Somethin'” topped the charts for six weeks, is performing at the Shoshone-Bannock Casino Hotel in Fort Hall on March 7.
Although Wills says he’s performed in Idaho many times over the years, it’s his first time at this particular venue, and he’s excited to meet the crowd.
“We always have a great time,” Wills tells EastIdahoNews.com. “You’re going to, hopefully, be able to sing along with everything, and when you leave the show, you’ll have a smile on your face.”
Wills made his debut in 1996 with his self-titled debut album. It was his second album, “Wish You Were Here,” that became one of his best-selling albums and spawned multiple top 10 hits. Among them are the title track, as well as “Don’t Laugh at Me” — which landed at No. 2 — “She’s in Love,” and “I Do (Cherish You).”
Of all the songs he’s recorded, Wills says “Don’t Laugh at Me” is his favorite.
“I love the message of that song,” says Wills. “Rarely, does an artist have a song that becomes a generational (hit). It’s 28-years-old and still continues to live its own life.”
