SUMMARY:Dusty Slay: The Night Shift Tour
DESCRIPTION:Long hair\, tobacco\, over-sized glasses and a trucker hat\, Dusty Slay is the self-effacing bourbon-voiced Southern comedian next door with a knack for observational\, blue-collar humor and the nerve to say what everyone else is thinking. He grew up the son of a single mom in an Alabama trailer park and evokes laughs about everything from Cracker Barrel to his aversion to soap. The 40-year-old Nashville native is a mainstay on the country music scene\, making his Grand Ole Opry debut in 2019 – the youngest at the time\, and adding dozens of appearances in the historic Circle ever since. He has also appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live\, has a Comedy Central special to his credit and just released his first hour-long Netflix special “Workin’ Man” that he filmed about three hours from home\, at the Bijou theater in Knoxville\, Tennessee. With almost 20 years of eliciting guffaws through his laidback observations\, comedic cadence and conversational style\, Dusty is just getting started bringing his brand of relatable working-class comedy to audiences coast to coast. Slay recently announced his 35-show “The Night Shift Tour” in support of the new special. See below for tour routing and more details can be found at DustySlay.com. \nThis event has been designated as a No-Weapons event*\n*with exception for law enforcement

Worth’s iconic Billy Bob’s and re-opened North Hollywood’s legendary Palomino Club for one night only. Bringing listeners a resurgence of their thick harmonies\, sad melodies\, tart lyrics and steel guitar with their critically-acclaimed Dave Cobb-produced album Barely Blue (Big Machine Records)\, the retro-Nuevo trio has grown from bar band to an in-demand headliner.

SUMMARY:Cycling Towards Empathy: Reimagining more inclusive spaces in our communities
DESCRIPTION:Cities around the world are reimagining their streets and public spaces\, transforming them into places for enjoyment and spending time instead of simply for moving through. As more cities\, businesses\, and local advocates search for the perfect recipe for urban vitality in their communities\, a number of cities are leading the way. Through thinking empathetically about the people they are planning and designing for\, these cities are showing the potential that lives within to become beautiful places where people can connect across ages\, abilities\, and socio-economic status. In their presentation\, Melissa and Chris Bruntlett will discuss how more inclusive transport and public spaces can create communities where everyone can thrive. Together we will explore the driving forces of these global trends and the leadership qualities that are helping cities realize the benefits of shifting to urban vitality.

SUMMARY:Hometown Jams: Lee Brice (Acoustic)
DESCRIPTION:With three consecutive No. 1 singles in 2012\, Lee Brice quickly moved beyond the label of country’s “next big thing.” His second album\, Hard 2 Love\, proved anything but difficult to embrace\, delivering crowd-pleasing hits like “Parking Lot Party” and “A Woman Like You\,” and securing a No. 2 debut on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. \nA South Carolina native\, Brice embodies a classic all-American path. Before rising to fame\, he sang in his family’s church\, earned a football scholarship to college\, and wrote songs for icons such as Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw. The title track from his 2010 debut\, Love Like Crazy\, set a record for the longest run on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. \nDuring his 2013 Otherside Tour\, Brice won over audiences nationwide with his easygoing charm and heartfelt\, personal performances. \nWith Special Guest: Lewis Brice \nA seasoned singer/songwriter whose sonic palette is colored by his love for country\, Southern rock and R&B\, Brice currently finds his music evolving as his rowdy single guy days give way to the joys of marriage and new fatherhood. With the enthusiastic response to such new songs as “She Loves My Country” and “NASCAR Fast\,” it is readily apparent his audience loves being along for the ride. Authenticity is more than a catch phrase thrown around in Music Row conference rooms\, it’s a potent quality that separates true artists from talented hopefuls. Authenticity is the foundation of everything Lewis Brice does. It’s as much as part of his artistry as his riveting on stage swagger and the heart and soul he pours into every breath of his songwriting. It continues to define the music percolating throughout this new season of life. \nThis event has been designated as a no weapons event with exception for law enforcement. Please plan to arrive a little early as additional security screening will be required before entering the theatre.
