The series kicks off on Saturday, November 8th with Katie Deal in Today, Tomorrow & Forever: A Tribute to Patsy Cline. Having sold out two national tours of A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline, Katie takes the stage with her own story of how the music and style of Patsy Cline have changed her life forever. With a new take on nostalgia, Katie's one-woman show, Katie Deal in Today, Tomorrow & Forever: A Tribute to Patsy Cline features a live band, tight harmonies and a powerhouse singer. In this tribute, you'll learn a little bit about Katie, a little bit about Ms. Patsy, and a lot about why Patsy’s music is loved by so many. While there will only ever be one Patsy Cline, Katie Deal sure does play a mean second fiddle.
Katie has traveled the country wowing fans with her uncanny portrayal of Ms. Patsy Cline. With two sell-out national tours and numerous productions in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wyoming, Katie has procured a national following. Katie is no stranger to The Grand Theatre stage having performed to a sold out house in 2004.
The Atlanta Pops return for this year's holiday concert on Saturday, December 14th. The Pops, established by Albert Coleman in 1945, has built a reputation for being energetic and professional. This family friendly event is the perfect way to ring in the holiday season. Come join us for this Cartersville tradition and share in some holiday cheer.
Nashville based bluegrass band, The SteelDrivers make their Grand Theatre debut on Saturday, February 7th. A group of seasoned veterans –each distinguished in his or her own right, each valued in the town’s commercial community – who are seizing an opportunity to follow their hearts to their souls’ reward. In doing so, they are braiding their bluegrass roots with new threads of their own design, bringing together country, soul, and other contemporary influences to create an unapologetic hybrid that is old as the hills but fresh as the morning dew. This is new music with the old feeling. SteelDrivers fan Vince Gill describes the band’s fusion as simply "an incredible combination."
Since 2008, The SteelDrivers have been nominated for three Grammys, four IBMA awards and the Americana Music Association’s New Artist of the Year. They were presented the International Bluegrass Music Association’s award for Emerging Artist of the Year in 2009. They have been invited to perform on numerous radio and TV shows ranging from The Grand Ole Opry to NPR’s Mountain Stage to the Conan O’Brien show.
