Ten-time CMA Musician of the Year Mac McAnally and special guest Scotty Emerick will bring their beloved “Margaritas & Memories Tour” back to Beaver Dam Amphitheater (“The DAM”) on Friday, August 21, 2026, joined by longtime Coral Reefer Band percussionist Eric Darken.
Performing together, the trio will celebrate “the songlines of life,” recreating the iconic music they’ve performed worldwide, from the Tetons to the tropics, while sharing stories of friendship, adventure, and the songs that helped define an era.
Gates open at 5:30 PM, with the show beginning at 7:00 PM CDT.
Fans are encouraged to act fast. When the tour last visited The DAM in 2024, reserved tables sold quickly, and demand is expected to be even higher this year.
In true island spirit, fans can expect specialty margaritas and themed beverages throughout the night, creating the perfect soundtrack for a summer evening filled with laid-back vibes and legendary songs.
