LEE ANN WOMACK
Saturday, October 13 – 8 pm
$35- $60
Artists don’t really make albums like Lee Ann Womack’s The Lonely, the Lonesome and the Gone anymore. Albums that possess both a profound sense of history and a clear-eyed vision for the future. Albums that transcend genres while embracing their roots. Albums that evoke a sense of place and of personality so vivid they make listeners feel more like participants in the songs than simply admirers of them. The new album – a breathtaking hybrid of country, soul, gospel, and blues – comes from Womack’s core. “I could never shake my center of who I was,” says the East Texas native. “I’m drawn to rootsy music. It’s what moves me.”
THE SIMON & GARFUNKEL STORY
Thursday, October 11 – 7:30 pm
$35- $55
The Simon & Garfunkel Story is back! Using huge projection photos and original film footage, featuring a full live band performing all the hits including “Mrs. Robinson,” “Cecilia,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Homeward Bound” and many more. Get your tickets fast as this is an evening not to be missed!
