Event Details: Capitol recording artist and star of the stage, film, and TV, Rodney Carrington will bring his live stand-up comedy show, The King of the Mountains tour to the American Bank Center Selena Auditorium January 31, 2009 at 7:00pm.

Multi-million selling recording artist and comedian Rodney Carrington continues to shine in 2008. He is back on tour full time after starring two full seasons in his own TV show on ABC called Rodney. But he is still finding time to work on exciting new projects. He recently finished filming on a major motion picture, Beer for My Horses, which he co-wrote and co-starred in with country music star Toby Keith. The movie debuted in theatres nationwide in August, 2008, and on CMT on November 2, 2008. Beer for My Horses was released on DVD on November 11th.

Rodney also co-starred in the hit music video by Trace Adkins, “I Got My Game On,” which won three awards on the 2008 CMT Music Video Awards, including “Male Video of the Year,” and “Video Director of the Year” for Michael Salomon. Rodney was nominated for, and won the category “Supporting Character of the Year” for his role. Future plans include the release of the first season of the ABC sitcom, Rodney on DVD in February 2009, and another album on Capitol Records of songs expected to debut in the first quarter of 2009. The album is being produced by Toby Keith.

All of this follows on the heels of his many projects and accomplishments in 2007, which included the release of a major new CD, King of the Mountains; live concert DVD and Comedy Central special, Live at the Majestic. He also released his first hard cover book entitled Rodney Carrington, Coming Clean.

Rodney currently has six albums out on major labels, several of which still maintain coveted spots on the comedy charts. Greatest Hits and Morning Wood have achieved gold status from the RIAA.

Rodney’s popularity derives, in large part, from his closeness with his audience. Instead of moving to Los Angeles or Nashville, Rodney stayed in Tulsa, Oklahoma; he keeps grounded through frequent live shows. He has been a Pollstar Top 100 grossing concert act since 2001, reaching #28 in 2003 before television commitments forced him to cut back his touring schedule. Now that he’s back to full-time touring, he regularly sells out back-to-back 3,000 seat concerts in major cities.
