Christmas With Jimmy Fortune
JIMMY FORTUNEJimmy Fortune toured, sang and performed with the legendary Statler Brothers for 21 years. He joined them first as a temporary replacement for Lew DeWitt, after DeWitt heard him singing at a ski resort and recommended him. Following an audition in Nashville, Jimmy was contacted by the Statler Brothers and performed his first show with them on January 28, 1982, in Savannah, Georgia. Due to the debilitating effects of Crohn’s Disease, Lew was unable to return to the stage with the Statlers, and Jimmy was hired as a permanent replacement in August of 1982. Fortune quickly lived up to his name. He wrote the group’s second No. 1 hit, “Elizabeth,” on their 1983 album Today, and followed that with two more No. 1 hits–“My Only Love” (from 1984’s Atlanta Blue) and “Too Much On My Heart” (from 1985’s Pardners in Rhyme). Fortune also wrote the top-10 hit “Forever” from 1986’s Four for the Show and co-wrote the top-10 hit “More Than a Name on the Wall” from 1988’s The Greatest Hits. Jimmy has performed in all of the U.S. States, in Canadian Provinces, and in front of audiences as large as 100,000. He was part of the Statlers’ annual Happy Birthday USA celebration in Staunton, Virginia, for 14 years. He also sang on many of the Statlers’ gold, platinum, and double platinum recordings. Jimmy’s career included The Nashville Network’s popular “The Statler Brothers Show” which aired for seven seasons and debuted in 1991 as the highest rated show for the network. Jimmy was privileged to perform at the White House on two occasions, once for President Ronald Reagan, and once for President George H. W. Bush. He also presented a special gift to actress Elizabeth Taylor by singing his song “Elizabeth” to her for a birthday celebration. Jimmy and The Statler Brothers were inducted into the GMA (Gospel Music Association) Hall of Fame on October 29, 2007, and inducted into the CMA (Country Music Association) Hall of Fame on June 29, 2008. Jimmy, as a solo artist, was inducted into the Virginia Musical Hall of Fame in 2018. After The Statler Brothers retired on October 26, 2002, Jimmy seized the opportunity to launch a solo career to share new music with his fans. His first solo CD, When One Door Closes, was released August 2003 on Audium/Koch. He released a gospel album, I Believe, in June 2005, a Christmas CD, Feels Like Christmas, in 2006, a live concert DVD in 2007 a country CD, “Windows” in 2009, “Lessons” in 2012, and “Hits and Hymns” CD and DVD through Gaither Music Group in 2015 which debuted at #10 Billboard Country Album, #1 Southern Gospel, and #6 Billboard Contemporary Christian. The DVD debuted at #1 on Billboard Music Video charts. In 2017 he recorded a compilation of his favorite songs called “Jimmy Fortune Sings The Classics” on the Gaither Music label. Jimmy is currently living in Nashville, writing, touring, and recording.

The Oak Ridge Boys 2026 Christmas Tour
Celebrate the season with The Oak Ridge Boys Christmas Tour 2026! Theirs is one of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry. The four-part harmonies and upbeat songs of The Oak Ridge Boys have spawned dozens of Country hits and two Pop smashes, earned them Grammy, Dove, CMA, and ACM awards and garnered a host of other industry and fan accolades. Every time they step before an audience, the Oaks bring four decades of charted singles, and 50 years of tradition, to a stage show widely acknowledged as among the most exciting anywhere. And each remains as enthusiastic about the process as they have ever been. “When I go on stage, I get the same feeling I had the first time I sang with The Oak Ridge Boys,” says lead singer Duane Allen. “This is the only job I’ve ever wanted to have.” “I was a fan before I joined the group,” adds baritone William Lee Golden. “And I’m still a fan of The Oak Ridge Boys today.” Allen and Golden, along with tenor Ben James and bass Aaron McCune, comprise one of Country’s truly legendary acts. Historically, The Oak Ridge Boys, with Joe Bonsall singing tenor and Richard Sterban singing bass, recorded a string of hits that includes the Country-Pop chartbuster Elvira, as well as Bobbie Sue, Dream On, Thank God For Kids, American Made, I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes, Fancy Free, Gonna Take A Lot Of River, and many others. In 2009, they covered a White Stripes song, receiving accolades from Rock reviewers. In 2011, they rerecorded a thirtieth anniversary version of Elvira for a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store project. The group has scored 12 gold, three platinum, and one double platinum album—plus one double platinum single—and had more than a dozen national Number One singles and over 30 Top Ten hits. Their latest album, Buried Treasures, releases this fall.
Creed Fisher With Kevin Thomas
General Admission ONLY BALCONY AND TABLES HAVE GUARANTEED SEATING18+ ShowSometimes the best feel-good music is born from pain. Country music’s rebellious sensation Creed Fisher knows it well, tracing his musical, and personal evolution back to a very unlikely, yet specific point of origin – a little blue house. No, it’s not a metaphor, but a real place, and one decorated by hard times and a few bad memories. “It’s starting from rock bottom,” he says of the symbolism. “That’s what the blue house represents in my mind.” While the ghosts of that dark period are something he’ll never forget, Fisher didn’t let his energy get trapped in the past, instead choosing to recognize, process and move forward. All of it served him well in overcoming life’s little kicks in the ass, and along the way, delivering albums full of ass kicking good times and chart-topping hits. Influenced heavily by the wisdom of his grandfather and the musical tastes of his parents (from classic country to hard rock, George Straight to Ted Nugent), Creed Fisher’s childhood dream was to play music, but, as he asserts – “Life got in the way. I started writing songs just for therapy, to get things off my chest,” he says of the cathartic beginnings. “My music started in a dark place, but it developed from there.”

Corey Kent With 21 Dust
Infusing Oklahoma roots with the untamed energy of a rebel rocker, Sony Music Nashville’s Corey Kent has made a career of stretching sonic bounds and standing on conviction. But with new trust in his instincts and the buzz of two career-caliber hits-in-the-making, his third major label country album marks a breakthrough. Authoritatively titled Heartland Rock and Roll, the scrappy singer-songwriter creates a sound so definitive, it needed a new name. Golden-hour nostalgia meets gratitude and grit in a mellow, slow burn of raspy country soul, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. Kent’s rugged single “Rocky Mountain Low (feat. Koe Wetzel)” is climbing radio charts faster than any previous release, while the gusty “Empty Words” escaped its deep-cut fate to become a viral sensation. To the now-seasoned creative force, the word epiphany comes to mind. “I don’t know why it wasn’t more obvious to me sooner,” Kent says. “Like, ‘Dude, your path is not going to look like everybody else’s path, and your decisions aren’t going to look like everybody else’s either.’ I’ve been fighting my differences for so long, but now it’s like, ‘Let’s just use those.’” The lesson didn’t come easy. Rising from the dancehalls and dive bars around his home in Bixby, Oklahoma, Kent describes his early Nashville career as a “dogfight,” battling for every inch of progress. Inspired by Springsteen and CCR as much as Strait or B&D, he was famously forced to move home and work for a paving company in 2020, before returning with an organic hit (and a chip on shoulder) for his 2023 debut, Blacktop. His sophomore album Black Bandana carried that same underdog spirit, and so did a series of hard-won victories. Slowly, methodically, Kent has earned two Number Ones at country radio to date – including the 3X Platinum “Wild As Her” and Gold-certified “This Heart,” which took over a year to reach its 2025 peak. Add that to a Platinum certification for “Something’s Gonna Kill Me” (that one took two years), and Kent now counts over 1 billion career streams and an international fanbase, built on headline tours and support for Morgan Wallen, Jason Aldean, and others. All of it came the hard way, with Kent having to prove the mettle of his unorthodox vision. But he now says there’s “beauty in a slow build.” Drawing on the confidence of experience, and emboldened by a sense of personal peace, he’s spent the last two years weaving Heartland Rock and Roll into a defining body of work. “If you’re an artist, you hope to have that record – the one that when people think about you, they think about that record,” the rising star explains. “When I think about Eric Church, I think about Chief. When I think about Chris Stapleton, I think about Traveller. They’re a stamp in time and they live on their own, and I’ve always hoped to have one. For the first time in my career, I feel like I do.”
