David Archuleta Christmas Show
2019-12-11 18:00 - 2019-12-12 20:00 | Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
David Archuleta became a star when he was just 16. In 2008 more than 30 million television viewers fell in love with his angelic voice and their 44 million votes made him runner-up in Season 7 of “American Idol.”

Soon after, the young Utahan had his first single “Crush,” debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart the week of its release. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the track sold 166,000 downloads that first week in the U.S. and subsequently more than 1.92 million digital copies. Three months later, David’s self-titled album, “David Archuleta,” went gold, selling more than 750,000 copies in the U.S., and more than 900,000 worldwide.In 2010 David released his third album, “The Other Side of Down” and appeared as guest star on The Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s holiday album, “David Archuleta – Glad Christmas Tidings.”
David went on to release his fourth album, “Forevermore,” exclusively in the Philippines in March 2012 where it was soon certified gold. Later that year he released his fifth album, “Begin.” David’s sixth album, “No Matter How Far” was released in March 2013.
In 2012, David as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, put his singing career on hiatus so he could serve a two-year stint as a missionary outside of Santiago, Chile, at the La Misión Chile Rancagua.
David returned from Chile in March 2014 eager to perform and record once again. He has been touring all around the U.S., Canada, Asia and even performed in the Middle East for the U.S. troops. He relocated to Nashville and last year released his seventh album “Postcards In The Sky” featuring all original songs that he co-wrote. David says it was an album of finding his own voice and that what he had to say mattered.

Over the Rhine Christmas
2019-12-13 20:00 | TN
One December, not long after Over the Rhine began recording and touring, we were invited to perform some seasonal songs on a public radio station. So we worked up a few carols and traditional tunes. It actually felt really good and conjured up an unusual mix of feelings from childhood: innocence, loss, wonder, joy, sadness. I think we were surprised.

People must have tuned into the radio broadcast, because we began receiving inquiries as to whether we had recorded any of our Christmas songs. In December of 1996 – can it really be over 20 years ago? – we recorded and released our first song cycle of some of the Christmas carols that still haunted us. We included a few original tunes and called our wintry mix The Darkest Night Of The Year. Folks began snatching up copies and seemed to agree that they hadn’t heard anything quite like it.We began playing concerts around the Midwest every December and found that the rooms were usually packed full of people who had bundled in out of the cold. If you stepped outside during intermission, you could make ghosts with your breath in the crisp night air. And it was dark – oh so dark: a time of year with its own music.
A decade later, in 2006, we released our first full collection of original Christmas/holiday songs called Snow Angels. What is it about Christmas music and the undeniable gravitational pull it exerts on some songwriters? So many Christmas songs had already been written. I think we were genuinely curious about the ones that hadn’t yet been written.
We continued to tour every December and these special year-winding-down concerts began to feel like an annual tradition – gatherings of extended musical family, without whom, we’d be homeless.
And when we released our third holiday album of original songs, Blood Oranges In The Snow, in December of 2014, we were still at it.
On our 2019 tour, we will be leaning into three-part harmonies and making an intimate but hopefully holy ruckus. It won’t be all Christmas music: we’ll certainly mix in tunes from many of our records along the way. But hopefully it’s still true; that you haven’t heard anything quite like it.
We hope you’ll join us,

A Christmas Carol with Jason Woods
2019-12-14 19:30 | Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
A Christmas Carol with Jason Woods – A Dickens of a Christmas Theatrical Experience in Downtown Franklin at the Franklin Theatre

Some things cannot be explained…they must be EXPERIENCED.

This December, prepare to be haunted by three Christmas Spirits. Jason Woods is the One-Man Christmas Carol, taking the stage at The Franklin Theatre on the first night of Dickens of a Christmas Festival.Ebenezer Scrooge is a coarse old miser who doesn’t celebrate the season and wishes ill will on all who do. On a freezing Christmas Eve, he is visited by the ghost of his business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns that he will be haunted by three spirits. The past, present and future collide to show Scrooge what his life could have been and where it is going. A holiday classic that faithfully entertains and inspires!
Jason Woods transforms into over 25 characters as he describes every shadowy phantom, every mouth watering morsel of Christmas dinner and each tear of joy from this beloved tale.
The show is brought to you by The Heritage Foundation of Williamson County, TN as part of the Dickens of a Christmas Festival presented by First Citizens National Bank.

BeauSoleil Cajun Christmas avec Michael Doucet
2019-12-18 20:00 | Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
For the past 40 years, BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet has been making some of the most potent and popular Cajun music on the planet. Born out of the rich Acadian ancestry of its members, and created and driven by bandleader Michael Doucet’s spellbinding fiddle playing and soulful vocals, BeauSoleil is notorious for bringing even the most staid audience to its feet. BeauSoleil’s distinctive sound derives from the distilled spirits of New Orleands jazz, blues rock, folk, swamp pop, Zydeco, country and bluegrass, captivating listeners from the Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans, to Carnegie Hall, then all the way across the pond to Richard Thompson’s Meltdown Festival in England.

For their first studio release in four years, and the 25th in their 37-year career, BeauSoleil teamed up with Nashville- based roots music label Compass Records. The band named the new album From Bamako to Carencro, a title that alludes to the cultural and migratory connection between Bamako, in Mali, West Africa, and Louisiana (symbolized in name by the Lafayette, LA. suburb of Carencro), a connection that draws a sonic bloodline back to BeauSoleil’s roots. On the album’s 11 tracks, the band performs with a resounding authenticity all the while bringing a refreshed playfulness to the genre-the fiddle, flat-picked guitar and accordion carry driving melodies over the two-step and waltz dance beats characteristic of their Cajun and Zydeco music, but not without the country, jazz and blues leanings that informed the genre in the 1920s. They channel the godfathers of other music as well by including a Cajun/La La- style reimagining of James Brown’s classic 1962 Live at the Apollo version of “I’ll Go Crazy” and a swing version of John Coltrane’s tune-de-force “Bessie’s Blues.” Guitarist David Doucet even tucks an occasional Lester Flatt-style bluegrass G-run into his highly melodic guitar solos.Since becoming the first Cajun band to win a GRAMMY with L’amour Ou La Folie (Traditional Folk Album – 1998) and then a second Grammy in 2010, Live at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, BeauSoleil has garnered many accolades, including twelve GRAMMY nominations, the latest being their 2009 release Alligator Purse. They are regular guests on Garrison Keillor’s National Public Radio show A Prairie Home Companion, where Keillor has dubbed them as “the best Cajun band in the world,” and their music is so integral to the Cajun culture that they have been featured on the New Orleans-based hit HBO program Treme. (Look for an on-camera performance from the band this year during the final season of the show). Critics unanimously agree that it is “bon temps, every time they play,” (New York Times).

2019-12-19 20:00 | Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
Exile formed in 1963 looking to play small clubs in Richmond, KY but managed to top both the pop and country charts during their more than 50 year-long career. Their most successful hit, “Kiss You All Over” spent four weeks at the top of the Billboard’s pop chart in 1978. In the early 1980’s, they started to focus on country music. During their run on the country charts, Exile has successfully had ten No. 1 singles and many more top 20’s. The band released two new recording projects in 2018 featuring their latest music as well as greatest hits. The five original members of the band reformed in 2008 and continue to tour today.

Predicting Personality: Using AI to Understand People and Win More Business (Hardcover)

By Drew D’Agostino, Greg Skloot

Parnassus Books welcomes Drew D’Agostino and Greg Skloot authors of Predicting Personality: Using AI to Understand People and Win More Business.

Predicting Personality: Using AI to Understand People and Win More Business details the ways in which personality assessments and predictions can be used to improve professional and interpersonal communications.
As the world has become hyper-connected, people have become hyper-skeptical, and communication has actually gotten much harder. As connected as we are, attention spans are shrinking, trust is dwindling, and growth is less guaranteed. An exciting new branch of artificial intelligence–Personality AI–is setting out to change that: marrying traditional machine learning, data analytics, and behavioral psychology, Personality AI helps professional communicators break through the noise with empathy and build trust with their audience, leveraging data to accelerate trust, build relationships, and win more customers.
The proposed title is the playbook for anyone whose livelihood or business is built on their ability to communicate effectively and build teams. Exploring the next generation of human communication, Crystal co-founder and CEO Drew D’Agostino exposes how businesses can reap the benefits of AI and machine learning today, not tomorrow. Readers will not only learn what Personality AI is and how it works, but direct applications in business, life, and how to understand personality types in context–sales, recruiting, coaching, and more. D’Agostino also presents important considerations that using Personality AI brings up in ethics and compliance conversations, plus guidelines for any company that wants to use their people data to learn and execute. This book provides practical guidelines for using this technology to accelerate growth, strengthen relationships, communicate more effectively, and win more business.

WINTER 2020 SINGLE BARREL SELECTION INFORMATION:

FOR THE 2020 WINTER EDITION, WE HAVE SELECTED THREE SOUTHERN WHISKEY SOCIETY SINGLE BARRELS TO SHARE WITH YOU.

Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel
Jack Daniel’s is the gold standard when it comes to Tennessee whiskey brands. This marks the first single barrel of Tennessee whiskey that we’ve featured at Southern Whiskey Society, and we’re wondering what took us so dang long. This single barrel will feature the classic Jack Daniel’s mashbill of 80% corn, 12% barley, and 8% rye, and will be bottled at 94 proof with an age of 5-7 years. It will be personally selected by Jack’s Master Distiller Jeff Arnett, Southern Whiskey Society Founder Christopher Thomas, and friends. Price per bottle will be $76, which includes bottle cost + 9.75% Tennessee state sales tax + a $10 donation to One Generation Away.

New Riff Single Barrel
New Riff is a young distillery setting the whiskey world on fire. We’re proud to feature one of their delicious Single Barrels at this event. The mashbill will be 65% corn, 30% rye, and 5% malted barley, and it will be bottled at cask strength at an age of at least 4 years. It will not be chill filtered. This single barrel will be personally selected by Southern Whiskey Society Founder Christopher Thomas and friends. Price per bottle will be $65, which includes bottle cost + 9.75% Tennessee state sales tax + a $10 donation to One Generation Away.

Wilderness Trail Single Barrel
Ask anyone who is paying attention to the whiskey world about the leading craft distillers, and chances are high that Wilderness Trail is going to be smack dab in the middle of that conversation. This single barrel will feature a mashbill of 64% corn, 24% rye, and 12% malted barley, and it will be bottled at cask strength at an age of at least 4 years. It will not be chill filtered. This single barrel will be personally selected by Southern Whiskey Society Founder Christopher Thomas and friends.
