Craig Campbell

Friday, Sept. 27 at 8 pm

Starting in 2010, “Family Man” and “Outta My Head” both cracked the Top 15 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, while others like the hook-in-cheek “Fish” snagged more than 10 million on-demand streams. “Keep Them Kisses Comin’” became a bonafide Top 10 hit, while “Outskirts of Heaven” showed an artist sensitive enough to share his soul – and courageous enough to stand on conviction. The uplifting critical smash has been praised by Rolling Stone, Taste of Country and more as a spiritual high-water mark.

Black Oak Arkansas

Saturday, Sept. 28 at 8 pm

In the year 1963, some high school pals decided to get together to form a band because of their love of music. After 43 years, several dozen albums… three of which became gold, one of which became platinum, and one gold single from a song known as "Jim Dandy To The Rescue," which was told to them to record by none other than Elvis Presley himself (!), this group of friends still manages to stay together. (After talking to Elvis, Black Oak Arkansas was told the following week by their producer Tom Dowd and by their label president Ahmet Ertegun that these two industry giants were also about to ask BOA about recording that same tune! Ahmet himself only personally signed 5 groups to recording contracts in his long, long recording history… and Black Oak Arkansas had the honor of being number 5!) Many testimonials and awards have been presented to this band by everyone from Bill Graham, (who founded and ran Winterland Ballroom and both the Fillmore East and West), to Wolfman Jack from the Midnight Special; from First Lady Betty Ford to President Bill Clinton!

say never

Friday, Oct. 4 at 8:30 pm

Veterans of the thriving Atlanta, Georgia music scene, Jonathan Pruitt and Paul Lawrence teamed up to form Say Never. A energetic stage show coupled with crafting powerfully relatable songs that contain strong melodies and hooks rooted in Rock, Grunge, Country and Metal. Rick Gatheman and Ben Sumpter have joined the ranks and solidified the bands lineup.
Hearing the crowd singing along with the songs and drowning out the stage monitors is what fuels the fires of Say Never. Songs like "Do It Again", "Giving Up", "The Bottle" and "Breathe Again" clearly proves that Say Never is not a one trick pony.

From their appearance, to their instruments, to the old southern banter, this group has all the charm of a century-old traveling music show fresh off the train, and will keep your attention captive from the first time you hear the blow of the jug and pluck of the tub bass.
