Springs Opera House performer hits the top of the charts after recent show

 

Kali Krohmer, Jerrod Niemann, Kaycee Bergeleen and Dacia Bergeleen enjoy a laugh following a May-2010 show at the Wessington Springs 1905 Opera House. Niemann’s single, “Lover, Lover” has since climbed to the top of America’s country music charts as well as the newly-released album.

A singer/songwriter who performed at the Wessington Springs 1905 Opera House in May has catapulted all the way to the top of the country music charts in a meteoric ride that includes both the top single and album in the nation.

Jerrod Niemann made his second appearance at the historic Wessington Springs landmark opera house in May while his song, “Lover, Lover” was in the number 20 slot on the country charts.

His performance that night was accompanied by his close friend, Dustin (Fagerhaug) Evans, a singer/songwriter now living in Nashville. It was the second performance for Niemann at the Springs Opera House as he and Evans did a two-show fund raiser there a few years ago.

Dustin (Fagerhaug) Evans gives a thumbs up while Jerrod Niemann (right) looks on during a May-2010 show the two did at the restored 1905 Opera House in Wessington Springs.

It was announced that his debut album also reached number one status after being released just a few weeks ago.

It’s a rare privilege to have a number one artist perform in Wessington Springs. Neimann could be a strong candidate for Country Music Academy’s (AMC) newcomer of the year award later in 2010.

Now that he is a big country star will he ever perform at the opera house again? “If you don’t invite me,” he said, “I’ll just come on my own!” He must have liked the Springs 1905 Opera House a lot.
