His two Integrity Hosanna! Music recordings Firm Foundation (1994) and Come Expecting Jesus (2001) established him as a popular worship leader worldwide. Songs from these recordings have been woven into the fabric of worship globally, appearing in hymnals, and sung by thousands of churches and by innumerable worshipers.

Today, Don is President of Don Moen Productions in Nashville, Tennessee, where he resides with his wife Laura and five children.
John also welcomes 20-year old Coby James, a Centricity Music artist (Lauren Daigle, Andrew Peterson, Katy Nichole, Jason Gray) whose mad guitar skills and skillful vocals land him in the legacy of artists such as John Mayer and Ed Sheeran. Joined by Motown/Capitol Christian Music artist Evvie McKinney on his latest single, Shackles, a remake of the classic Mary Mary hit, Coby shows why he’s an artistic force in the making for years to come.

2022-10-20 18:30 - 21:30 | Leiper’s Fork Distillery, 3381 Southall Road, Franklin, TN, 37064, United States

Meet the Astronomer Talk + Telescope Viewing
2022-10-20 19:00 | Vanderbilt Dyer Observatory, 1000 Oman Drive, Brentwood, TN, 37027, United States
This series features an astronomer or scientist who will discuss a topic of current interest and includes Q&A. A telescope viewing follows.
This month’s talk: The A to Z of Galaxies
Have you ever wondered what will happen when our galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy smash into each other in a few billion years? Or why hasn’t the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy sucked us all in already? Together, we will discover these answers and more as we explore the diverse world of galaxies: what they are, how they grow, how they die, and how they dance along the cosmic web that spans our universe. As we dive into galaxies, we will also touch on other related topics such as black holes, dark matter, dark energy, and more, seeing how galaxies coexist and evolve in a complex and grand universe. Bring the family and enjoy the pretty pictures as we learn about galaxies together.
About the speaker:
Aaron Stemo, PhD, is an astrophysicist working at Vanderbilt University as National Science Foundation Mathematical and Physical Sciences Ascending Postdoctoral Research Fellow, where he studies how galaxies and their supermassive black holes grow and evolve together. A lot of his research focuses on using large collections of data from multiwavelength surveys to better understand this “coevolution” during galaxy merger events, but he is also interested in incorporating new tools from gravitational wave astronomy (i.e., using multimessenger astronomy) to explore coevolution as well.
This talk includes Q&A. Telescope viewings follow when weather permits. Recommended for ages 12 and up.
This event will be held on our heated/tented back patio to accommodate the huge demand for this talk. Please note that you may wish to dress in layers for maximum comfort, and the telescope viewing will be in an unheated dome.
Please note:

You do not need to bring a printed ticket; there will be a guest list at the gate.
The exhibits on the main floor are handicapped accessible, but the Seyfert telescope on the second floor is only accessible by stairs. There are twenty steps, split by a large landing, leading to the dome. Climbing additional portable steps may be necessary to see through the eyepiece.
Notify the gate attendant if you have special parking needs.
Closed-toe footwear is suggested.
If your plans change and you cannot attend, you may invite someone you know to use your tickets/names for entry.
Because this is Vanderbilt University property, firearms and smoking are not allowed.
Please let us know when you get your tickets if someone in your group cannot climb the stairs, so we may attempt to make accommodation with another telescope if skies are clear enough for viewing.

Address: 1000 Oman Drive, Brentwood TN 37027 (NOT on the main Vanderbilt campus)
Cost: $6.27 per person ($5.00 admission plus $1.27 online handling fee.) Each person must have their own reservation. Infants do not require tickets.
NO TICKETS SOLD AT DOOR. Tickets may be purchased up to the day of the event, but please be aware this event often sells out well ahead.
NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES. THIS IS A CLEAR OR CLOUDY EVENT.

Academy of St. Martin in The Fields Chamber Ensemble
2022-10-21 20:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
The Academy Chamber Ensemble was formed in 1967, drawing its membership from the world-renowned chamber orchestra the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, which was itself founded by Sir Neville Marriner in 1958 and is currently led by Music Director Joshua Bell. The purpose behind the formation of the Chamber Ensemble was to perform the larger scale chamber music repertoire with players who customarily worked together, instead of the usual string quartet with additional guests. Drawn from the principal players of the orchestra and play-directed by Academy Director / Leader Tomo Keller, the Chamber Ensemble now performs in multiple configurations from wind trios to string octets. Its touring commitments are extensive and include regular tours of Europe and North America, whilst recording contracts with Philips Classics, Hyperion, and Chandos have led to the release of over thirty CDs.
The Academy Chamber Ensemble’s October 2018 tour of the United States and Canada is supported by Maria Cardamone and Paul Matthews, together with the American Friends of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. The American Friends was founded in 1998 to support the work of the Academy around the world, particularly in the USA. Find out more at www.asmf.org.

Steel Magnolias Podcast Presents Sean of the South
2022-10-30 19:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
Sean Dietrich is a columnist, novelist, and podcast host, known for his commentary on life in the American South. His work has appeared in Newsweek, Southern Living, Garden and Gun, The Tallahassee Democrat, Good Grit, South Magazine, Alabama Living, the Birmingham News, Thom Magazine, and The Mobile Press Register.

He has kept up a daily blog for 10 years proving that the South and it’s people provide for great content! He has authored thirteen books including his latest release,You are My Sunshine.

Sean recalls, “Some of my earliest memories are of my mother singing “You Are My Sunshine.” She sang this to me especially when I was feeling hurt, lonely or sad. I distinctly remember Mama singing this song to me when I fell off my tricycle as a two-year-old. Amazingly, nearly forty years later, my wife sang this song to me when I fell off my adult tricycle. What I love about this particular American standard is that it’s not just special to me, it’s everyone’s tune. Everyone’s mother sang it when they skinned their knees. Everyone’s mama sang it before bedtime. The earliest recording of this melody comes from 1939, when the Pine Ridge Boys recorded it with lots of redneck yodeling. Throughout the years, the tune has been recorded by over 350 artists, translated into thirty languages, and butchered beyond recognition by pop stars who couldn’t sing their way out of a karaoke bar. I sing this song onstage for my wife sometimes. I sing it to my nieces. My wife and I sang it to my mother-in-law as she lay on her deathbed. It’s a song that is, essentially, code for “I love you” and you will likely hear it when we visit The Franklin Theatre.”

Sean will be interviewed on stage by the sisters of Steel Magnolias Podcast. Laura Beth Peters and Lainie Stubblefield co-host the weekly show where they provide space for each listener to have a place at the table while they have uplifting conversations about life in the American South.

This will be a night of stories, songs, and nostalgia!

Meet Anne Neilson, author and artist of the new book Entertaining Angels during Art Crawl in downtown Franklin at Landmark Booksellers on November 4, 2022 from 6 – 9pm.
Experience amazing stories of the angels among us in Entertaining Angels, alongside art that will remind you clearly of the words of Scripture:
“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares” (Hebrews 13:2)
Have you ever had a moment when you were certain angels were protecting you, comforting you, holding you close? Or perhaps in a time of need, you’ve longed for a reminder that God’s angels are nearer than we know.
Landmark Booksellers is located in circa 1808 building, in Historic Downtown Franklin Tennessee. They offer new, old and rare books.
