Live Music: Alan Conquest
2026-02-20 18:00 - 21:00 | The District Stage
Join us for a night of Live Music at the District Stage featuring Alan Conquest!
Alan Conquest is a Singer/Songwriter typically performing with his band or as a solo acoustic act throughout Arizona. Preferring to write and perform his original material, Alan has performed at various venues, festivals, and music contests throughout the southwest. Notably, Alan was the only performer at Camel Country’s Arizona’s Next Country Star to make it to the final night’s top 10 performing his own original songs! Influenced by a wide array of artists and genres from country to rock Alan writes songs and melodies that are relatable and approachable and well received by fans and music lovers from all walks of life. “To be able to go onstage and perform a song that nobody has ever heard before and get people up and dancing or to have someone come up to you afterward crying and tell you that your song touched them in a special way, well…it just doesn’t get much better than that as a songwriter.” Be sure to listen in for new releases from Alan Conquest on all social media platforms where music is played. Alan’s music is currently being played on Country Music Station KRDE “The Ride” at 94.1 FM.
