The Franklin Theatre – John Waite – Wooden Heart Tour Acoustic – Downtown Franklin, TN

Countless musicians of far lesser accomplishment have probably made similar statements regarding their own personal creative process, but when the confession comes from John Waite – whose been successfully writing, recording and performing some of the most listenable, enduring and appreciated popular music for more than 35 years – one cannot help but both recognize and marvel at the shimmering legacy of this British born rock star.

Gary Morris – The Franklin Theatre – Downtown Franklin, TN Events

The romantic ballads of Texas-born Gary Morris were staples of country radio in the1980s — none more so than “The Wind Beneath My Wings,” which was covered by Bette Midler later in the decade and became a song heard at weddings perhaps more often than any other.

From the start, Morris had a powerful voice well suited to the musical theater stage, and after his string of country hits came to an end he enjoyed a successful theatrical career. Morris didn’t give up on country music at first; he recorded 12 country albums in all, including the innovative, mostly acoustic Plain Brown Wrapper, and he notched 16 Top Ten singles.

But his role in Les Misérables evolved into a part in the show’s touring production and then in its symphonically accompanied recording. These activities took time, and Morris’ country career suffered. His live-theater activities,on the other hand, flourished; he appeared with another former progressive country singer, Linda Ronstadt, in the Broadway adaptation of Puccini’s opera La Bohème, and he spent much of the 1990s working on other pop projects such as a PBS special concert performance in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia.

Morris returned to country music as a performer in Branson, MO, and as a producer in the late 90s. He has shepherded the career of his son, Matthew, and has often performed private concerts for corporate clients. Morris resides at his own fly-fishing lodge in the Colorado Rockies.

July Jamboree: A Picnic on the Grounds of Oaklands Park

6:42 pm | Wednesday, Jul 6th

| No Comments

Less than two weeks remain to purchase your tickets to Oakland’s Summer Picnic on the grounds featuring The Knott Brothers Band, all-you-can-eat fried catfish and chicken and spirits by Prichard’s Distillery.

The summer picnic-style party will be held Saturday, July 22, 2016, at 6:30 PM on the front lawn of Oaklands Mansion, 900 N. Maney Ave.

“The July Jamboree is a fun, casual night out that provides a very different way to support Education and Historic Preservation in downtown Murfreesboro,” said James Manning, Executive Director for the historic site that was once home to one of Murfreesboro’s first families. “This is one of only two major ‘fun-raising’ events held annually that sustain this nationally-registered historic site.”

While Nashville’s The Knott Brothers Band performs favorites on the front porch, guests can expect to be treated to Southern-fried chicken and catfish, cooked on site by Uncle Bud’s and served with all the “fixins”. To wet your whistle, there will be both an open bar as well as Prichard’s Distillery, who will be personally serving Rum tastings to guests.

“Oaklands After Dark”, night-time tours of the mansion are always a favorite of party-goers.

Tickets are $75 per person. For tickets, call Oaklands at 615-893-0022 or visit www.OaklandsMansion.org. Although the evening is picnic themed, there will be plenty of casual outdoor seating provided, in addition to air-conditioned seating in Maney Reception Hall. For those concerned about mosquitos, the grounds are being treated for biting-pests.

Oaklands Mansion is nestled in Oaklands Park, a native tree arboretum and natural wetlands, which includes Maney Spring as well as heritage and native gardens. Oaklands Visitors Center houses a gift shop and Maney Reception Hall for special events and temporary exhibitions. Oaklands Mansion is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00AM – 4:00PM and Sundays 1:00PM – 4:00PM. For more information visit these sites:
