TULSA, Okla. — Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa will welcome award-winning country music group Diamond Rio at 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11, at Hard Rock Live inside the casino.
Originating as the Tennessee River Boys in the 1980s, the group officially became Diamond Rio in 1989 before signing with Arista Nashville a year later. In 1991, the band made history with “Meet in the Middle,” becoming the first country music group to earn a No. 1 hit with a debut single.
Diamond Rio went on to build a catalog of fan-favorite hits, including “How Your Love Makes Me Feel,” “One More Day,” “Beautiful Mess,” “Unbelievable” and “I Believe.” Over the course of its career, the band has sold more than 6.8 million albums worldwide and generated more than 1 billion global streams.

In addition to the band’s chart success, Diamond Rio received Grammy nominations for the instrumental tracks “Big,” “Appalachian Dream” and “Poultry Promenade.” The band also expanded into Christian and holiday music with the releases of “The Reason” and “The Star Still Shines.”
Throughout Diamond Rio’s career, it has received numerous honors, including membership in the Grand Ole Opry, six Vocal Group of the Year awards from the CMA and ACM, and a Grammy Award for “The Reason.” Beyond music, the band supports charitable causes such as Big Brothers Big Sisters and has helped raise more than $1 million for nonprofit organizations, earning the Minnie Pearl Humanitarian Award.
