OMAHA, Neb. - Werner Enterprises and the Omaha Storm Chasers enthusiastically reveal that chart-topping country music artist Craig Morgan will take the stage at the 2013 Werner Concert on Friday, August 23rd.

"The Omaha Storm Chasers look at Werner Park as more than just a facility for baseball. It is a place where families can come and get world-class entertainment for a world-class price," said Martie Cordaro, President and General Manager. "Craig Morgan is a welcomed addition to a concert series that has included Sawyer Brown, Blake Shelton, Keith Anderson, Tracy Lawrence, .38 Special, Jack Ingram and Uncle Kracker."
Craig Morgan has released 14 Top Ten hits in his 13-year music career including "That's What I Love About Sunday," named the top country song of 2005 by Billboard Magazine, as well as fan favorites "Almost Home" and "Redneck Yacht Club."
