The EXOTICS in the Whiskey Room Live at KINGS
Friday, November 5 at 8:00PM
TICKETS : $20 online (plus fees) with credit/debit cards or $20 (CASH ONLY) at the door.
DOORS OPEN at 7:00 – Arrive early to get a good seat!
Mention The Exotics to many Franklin, Nashville and Middle Tennessee natives who were coming of age in the ’60s and early ’70s and they immediately recall good times at high school dances, outdoor driveway “combos” at a friend’s house, summer pool parties at Willow Plunge and college fraternity and sorority events.
The original Exotics were four friends from Franklin and Columbia Tennessee, three of whom attended Battle Ground Academy. When paired with the Spidells, four Nashville soul singers who performed sets backed by the Exotics, it became a not-to-miss happening. The Exotics were known throughout the Southeast and, in addition to dances, performed shows in Neyland Stadium, Vanderbilt Stadium and even the old Sugar Bowl Stadium in New Orleans.
Three of the four original Exotics have continued the tradition following the death of guitarist Billy Adair who, along with his best friend, Glenn Crowell started the band over 55 years ago. The fun and joy of the music from this era is hard to ignore so the band continues its legacy with band members Loy Hardcastle (drums and vocals), Jeff Cook (keys, sax and vocals), Glenn Crowell (bass and lead vocals), and Marty Crum (guitar and vocals), along with Steve Smartt and Jim Williamson, who joined the Exotics horn section in the late ’60s. They have remained “best of friends” for all these years and continue to play club dates, wedding receptions, school reunions, birthday parties, anniversaries, and street festivals.

Shaun Cassidy, An Intimate Evening of Music and Storytelling, A Benefit for Studio Tenn
2021-11-13 19:30 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
Shaun Cassidy is an American writer, producer, actor and singer. After making his name as a performer, Cassidy went on to create, write, and/or produce a number of critically acclaimed television series including AMERICAN GOTHIC (produced with Sam Raimi), ROAR (starring a then unknown Heath Ledger), COLD CASE, COVER ME, THE AGENCY, BLUE BLOODS, INVASION, and EMERALD CITY. Cassidy currently serves as executive producer and writer for the hit NBC series NEW AMSTERDAM.
The son of Tony award winning actor Jack Cassidy and Academy award winner Shirley Jones (and half-brother of the late singer/actor David Cassidy), Shaun grew up in Los Angeles and New York City. While still in high school, he signed a contract with Warner Brothers records. This led to three multi-platinum albums and numerous top ten hits including “Da Doo Ron Ron”, “That’s Rock n’ Roll”, “Hey Deanie”, and “Do You Believe In Magic?” Cassidy received a Grammy nomination for his efforts and performed at every major arena in the country including Houston’s Astrodome and New York’s Madison Square Garden. Almost concurrently, he starred in the ABC television series THE HARDY BOYS MYSTERIES. While appearing on Broadway in the hit musical BLOOD BROTHERS, Shaun wrote his first television pilot, AMERICAN GOTHIC. When the show debuted, The New York Times called it “The most original new show of the season.”
In 2019, Cassidy took his self-penned music and storytelling show, THE MAGIC OF A MIDNIGHT SKY, to the stage. He played to SRO crowds nationwide, and last year, in collaboration with No Kid Hungry, he successfully introduced a collection of fine wines, MY FIRST CRUSH, which donates two dollars per bottle to feed hungry children nationwide.
Currently working under an exclusive long term development deal with NBC/Universal television, Shaun makes his home in the wine country of Santa Barbara with his wife, Tracey, their four children, and more animals than he can count.

Franklin Theatre Live: Edwin McCain
2021-11-14 18:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
Called the “great American romantic” by the New York Times, Edwin McCain has built an enviable career over the past 20 years by balancing his massive pop success with the year-round touring schedule of a tireless troubadour. His hit songs, authentic spirit and surprisingly affable sense of humor keep fans coming back time and time again for nights that feel more like parties with old friends than rock concerts. After recording two of the biggest love songs in the history of pop music and experiencing the success that comes with a television show on Animal Planet (Flipping Ships), McCain now performs upwards of 100 shows annually throughout the US as a solo artist, with his full band or his acoustic trio. Recently, he’s added orchestras to his repertoire, performing with symphonies in select markets where he brings his powerful songs to majestic new heights.
“The 15-year-old me would have crawled through a river of fire to be the 48-year-old singer/songwriter that I am today, and I remember that. I am incredibly grateful to be able to do this” McCain said.
Those enduring love songs (and wedding must-haves) “I’ll Be” and “I Could Not Ask For More” aren’t just for the romantic at heart; “American Idol” and “The Voice” contestants turn to Edwin’s ballads every single year to help them win over judges and fans alike (just ask last season’s AI winner, Nick Fradiani). Even Justin Bieber has been known to belt out “I’ll Be” during his own concerts.
2018 marked the 20th year of the success of “I’ll Be,” which topped the Billboard charts in 1998 and has proven to be a timeless classic over the past two decades. Visit www.edwin.com.

Franklin Theatre Live: Lee Roy Parnell & The Hot Links 25th Anniversary Bash
2021-11-20 20:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
This 25th Anniversary Bash reunites Lee Roy Parnell & The Hot Links featuring Steve Mackey, James Pennebaker, Kevin McKendree & Lynn Williams.
No Depression may have said it best when they called Lee Roy Parnell “a fine writer blessed with a rich, soulful vocal delivery and a blistering array of guitar chops drawn almost equally from Texas blues, Memphis soul, and Southern rock traditions.” After honing his skills over more than a decade of playing clubs in Austin, Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, and New York, the triple-threat Americana/Blues-Rock artist known for his guitar prowess (particularly slide guitar), smooth soul-drenched voice, and top-shelf songwriting skills laid a new foundation in Nashville. After earning a regular spot at the famed Bluebird Café and a publishing contract, Parnell launched his solo career on Arista Records, which produced many country hits including “A Little Bit Of You” (#1 hit); “What Kind of Fools Do You Think I Am” & “Tender Moment” (#2 hits), and four other Top 10 hits: “Love Without Mercy,” “On The Road,” “I’m Holding My Own,” and “Heart’s Desire.” His Top 15 hits include “When A Woman Loves A Man” (with Trisha Yearwood) and “Giving Water To A Drowning Man.” Parnell has earned two GRAMMY® Award nominations for his instrumental tracks, “Cat Walk” (with Flaco Jiménez) and “Mama, Screw Your Wig On Tight” and was nominated for the CMA Vocal Event of the Year on “John the Revelator” (with The Fairfield Four).
He has received widespread acclaim as a guitar slinger. Gibson has honored Parnell with the creation and production of the Lee Roy Parnell Signature ’57 Les Paul Goldtop guitar, modeled after the only guitar Parnell owned from the time he was 15 years old until he was well into his 30’s. In 2019, Gibson and Parnell collaborated once again on the Lee Roy Parnell Signature 1959 Les Paul Standard. During his storied career, Parnell has toured/collaborated with many music legends including The Allman Brothers Band, Merle Haggard, Delbert McClinton, and Bonnie Raitt. In 2011, Parnell was presented with his most cherished honor: being inducted into the Texas Heritage Songwriters’ Hall of Fame, joining the likes of such talented composers as Kris Kristofferson, Rodney Crowell, JD Souther, Willie Nelson, Guy Clark, and many other legendary singer/songwriters. In 2017, Parnell released his first new album in over a decade — the highly-anticipated and critically-acclaimed Midnight Believer — on Vector Recordings/BFD. Parnell produced the album and co-wrote all 10 songs with award-winning songwriter Greg Barnhill, including the poignant, yet hopeful “Sunny Days,” which features a special guest appearance by The Fairfield Four. Midnight Believer made All Music’s “Best of 2017 Favorite Blues Albums” list. In addition to solo tour dates and frequent appearances at the Grand Ole Opry, Parnell has recently toured with Guitar Army alongside fellow world-class guitarists John Jorgenson and Joe Robinson. Parnell is currently working on new music for a future release.

Franklin Theatre Live: Gary Morris
2021-11-23 20:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
Live Performance:
Music

Gary Morris is known world-wide for his vocal mastery, able to hold audiences mesmerized and overwhelmed by the pure beauty and inspiration of his voice. His recording career garnered five #1 and 16 Top 10 singles, including “Why Lady Why,” “The Love She Found in Me” and “Baby Bye Bye.” Morris’ original rendition of the classic “Wind Beneath My Wings” won both the Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music “Song of the Year” awards. Morris was also named Billboard’s “Male Artist of the Year” early in his career. At the height of his Nashville recording career, the Texas-bred tenor was tapped to play the lead role of Jean Valjean in Broadway’s epic hit “Les Misérables,” to critical acclaim. This role led to a Drama Desk Award nomination. His famous rendition of “Bring Him Home” on the platinum-selling, Grammy Award-winning international cast album resulted in a Command Performance by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Additional Broadway roles include Rodolfo in the production of Puccini’s opera “La Bohéme” opposite of Linda Ronstadt.
Morris’ love of the great outdoors, combined with his respect and compassion for veterans, has resulted in his affiliation with Fly Fishers International and its Abilene Fly Fishers club. Gary’s passion for wounded veterans also motivated him to make his Mountain Spirit Ranch a place where veterans suffering from PTSD can experience the therapeutic properties of the serene sport of fly fishing to treat PTSD and other combat-related conditions. Morris has hunted on all seven continents. He also hosted a TV show on The Nashville Network called North American Sportsman, which ran for five seasons and featured many celebrity guests including Bryant Gumbel and Troy Aikman.
Whether he is melting hearts with this voice and music, amazing New York City critics with his acting, using his outdoor experience to teach others respect for the environment, or using his gifts to help our wounded service men and women through a difficult time in their lives, there is no doubt Gary Morris is impacting the world with his gifts and passion.
This performance will feature Gary’s hits, new songs, and some holiday classics as well.

Their name, Rhythmic Circus, might seem strange for a quartet of hoofers and a live band, but actually, their magnetic, high-energy shows are all about juggling a combination of dancing, humor and music – all wrapped within a bundle of positive messages. It seems to be a rare occurrence where family can enjoy an evening together, with children of all ages laughing and stomping their feet alongside each other. Rhythmic Circus provides that atmosphere and entertainment.
Notable national performances include the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., an extended off-Broadway run at New York City’s premier nonprofit performing arts theater – New Victory Theater, and an appearance on the American reality television series America’s Got Talent.
Feet Don’t Fail Me Now!
FEET DON’T FAIL ME NOW! premiered in August 2008 at the Ritz Theatre in Minneapolis, Minnesota, when the group’s dancers and founders joined forces with the seven Twin Cities’ heavyweight musicians. Together, they integrated an inventive style of rapid-fire tap with a variety of musical genres to create a show that presents a wildly creative view into the indomitable power of the human spirit. The show’s brilliance has been marked by rave reviews, sold-out engagements and numerous awards, including two SAGE Awards for Outstanding Ensemble and Performance, a Spirit of the Fringe Award (Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s top theatrical award), two Upper Midwest Emmy’s and being named “Best Dance Performance” by Minneapolis’ City Pages.

Franklin Theatre Live: Christmas with Patrick Thomas
2021-12-06 19:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
Live Performance:
Music

A multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and powerful vocalist, Patrick Thomas has spent 20 years crafting a sound that can only be described as uniquely his own. From a musical family, Patrick grew up wowing audiences with his ability to instantly play a song on the piano after just one listen.
While attending Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Thomas was selected to perform on the inaugural season of NBC’s The Voice. Making it all the way to the live semi-finals, his Nashville career began to take off. He quickly signed a publishing and artist development deal with Grammy Award-winning songwriter, Brett James, penning over 200 songs in his first year. Exploring a variety of styles from musical theatre, (he composed a musical entitled The Battle of Franklin that would break box office records for the premiering theatre), to pop, R&B, and country, he eventually began work on a debut album with another Grammy Award winner, producer Mark Bright. In 2017 his self-titled debut EP was released. Meanwhile, Thomas was busy touring the country with Broadway vocalist Rachel Potter, co-starring in Country Legends, a concert-style musical revue of country music through the ages designed specifically for symphony orchestras. The show toured for over five years, appearing with orchestras from Alaska to Hawaii and everywhere in between.
Thomas, often recognized for his ability to adapt and improvise regardless of genre, returned to the national spotlight when Nashville hosted the 2019 NFL Draft. As each player was selected, he wrote and performed thirty-second “jingles”, live for CBS, each tailored to the specific athlete and team.
He is currently working on a new ‘Sinatra meets Singer/Songwriter’ project scheduled for release within the next year. He is also preparing to perform as Paul Simon in the US/Canada tour of “The Simon and Garfunkel Story.” For booking information and links to music and social media please visit www.PatrickThomasMusic.com
