Tuesday, September 28th, 8:00 p.m.
$59, 52, 44
Throughout the 1990's the Black Crowes were the one band who managed to stay in the present while rekindling the past.  Their riffs and hooks, guitar and keyboard interplay, vocal mannerisms and lyrical obsessions all originated in the classic rock of their youth. They have sold over 20 million albums and were hailed by Melody Maker as "The Most Rock 'n' Roll Rock 'n' Roll Band in the World". In 1990, the readers of Rolling Stone voted them 'Best New American Band'. The tough love and attitude behind "Jealous Again" " Hard to Handle," "She Talks to Angels," and "Remedy" have made them one of the biggest and most popular bands ever of classic rock.

His dedicated online community has raised his YouTube video views in excess of 78 million plays and at one point he held the #1, #2 and #3 positions for Top-Rated Videos of All Time on YouTube.  McKee's live shows are a true testament to his art of stringsmanship and engaging repartee.

Straight No Chaser –
Thursday, October 21st, 8:00 p.m.
$54, 47, 38
Originally formed a dozen years ago while students together at Indiana University, the group has reassembled and reemerged as a phenomenon – with a huge fanbase, millions of viewers on YouTube… and a contract with Atlantic Records. Straight No Chaser are neither strait-laced nor straight-faced, but neither are they vaudeville-style kitsch. As original member Randy Stine comments, “We take the music very seriously; we just don’t take ourselves too seriously.” In the process, they are reinventing the idea of a cappella on the modern pop landscape.


The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (Theatreworks USA) –
Friday, October 29th, 7:oo p.m.
$8 for adults and children
This enchanting musical is based on C.S. Lewis' adventure story about four children of war-torn England, who accidentally enter the land of Narnia by climbing through a magic wardrobe. This strange and wondrous place is ruled by the cold-hearted White Witch, who makes the winter last year round. Although they seem unlikely saviors, the children fulfill an ancient prophecy by defeating the witch, thus restoring sunshine and peace to the spell-bound Narnia and returning the great Lion King Aslan to his throne.
Presented by the MCCUNE and Middlekauff Foundations.


Merle Haggard –
Thursday, November 11th, 7:30 p.m.
$75,65,49
The word “legend” usually makes an appearance at some point when discussing Merle Haggard. It's an acknowledgement of his artistry and his standing as “the poet of the common man.” It's a tribute to his incredible commercial success and to the lasting mark he has made, not just on country music, but on American music as a whole. If the question were asked, “Who forged the genre that is known today as ‘modern country music’?,” Only a tiny group of country immortals could step forward to share the spotlight. One, out of that select handful, would be Merle Haggard. Merle wasn’t in the delivery room on the morning country music was born; it simply seems like he was. And you won’t hear anybody refer to him as the father of country music. But many will swear he’s at least its godfather.
